Arty mad kinda person. I love singing, writing, webdesign, painting, photography, etc. I just love all Arts. I love the finer things in life; good food (love cooking too), fine wine, fine whiskey, concerts, operas, etc. I cannot live without Music. A day without Music is a day not having lived... And I am a definite chocoholic.
Since 2006 I sing with a group in the UK called nChant. Medieval & alternative songs for the spiritual journey. Check out the myspace profile; nChant on myspace .
I love to philosophise about life and all things. I also love Magic and I celebrate the Pagan holidays (And yes, I leave food out for the Faeries too!). I am much interested in the unseen.
I love learning and need to be mind-challenged almost constantly. I love languages and traveling to new places. Learning about new cultures and traditions.
I have a thing for old-fashioned and antique things. Especially old books. Basically anything that has 'lived'. That has a life essence so to say...
I need to be constantly wrapped up in emotions to feel alive. And I am terribly old-fashioned... I love spoiling my friends, especially with good food & tea...
At times I can seem a bit too intense, but that is just because when there's a little bit of light in darkness, it can be so bright. So incredibly bright, that you feel you could give your life to just hold it for one second. I suffer from depression, mood swings and demons from the past. I often have a need to be absent, to be hidden inside my own world. But I am working on all of this. I have my reasons.

My wish is to one day learn to play the piano... which I find a magical instrument. I am absolutely mesmerized by The Glass Armonica (more info here and here ), which I hope to learn to play one day as well... The sounds of that are just so lovingly ethereal... I also love the guitar, the violin and the harp. Of course there are many more instruments that I like. But it depends in what way and how they are played.
In the words of my Californian Drakeaholic friend SMMY;
I am more than the sum of my stuffed animals. And remember; sometimes it are the innocent ones that can be most surprising!
I need musicians to help to create music for songs. I can write lyrics, I can sing, I just can't write and create music.

For Drakeaholics (I dislike the word 'fans'); There is an annual Nick Drake tribute concert in The Midlands, UK, just check the site below to keep updated. Performers welcome! Yeah, all ye established ones too, feel what it's like again to just be on stage for the Love of Music! Why? Because we are non-profit and we cannot afford to pay you anyway! *laughs* And because it just feels bloody good...
I have some websites .. too;
- NickDrake.co.uk ; Haunting guitar melodies, a warm & soothing voice, settles in your soul... Magic...
- AvonArt ; My personal Art site, but hold on, the gallery is still being build!
