About Me

Okay I've decided to conform and write something worthwhile here about who exactly is Dani and here is goes: a student of psychology (BA, not BAA people who know what I'm talking about), a reader of books, loves to find a great band and become obsessed by the music, gets a "high" off a great glass of wine, good friends, great food, and a dazzling converstation that lasts hours. She loves to walk around city streets and find great hole-in-the-wall shops or cafes, gets complete satifaction from sitting in a coffee shop on a cold day and getting lost in a novel. Can be found walking through nature especially on a snowy day and laughs until she's wheezing. Loves her parents, friends, and her Nan, is grateful for everyday of her life, loves the telly, movies (especially ones made from her favourite books like Pride and Prejudice and To Kill a Mockingbird). Found a bit of grace in Europe and wishes to return for an extended period of time. Loves magic and wants to meet a unicorn someday or a dragon or either or. Did you like me writing in the third person? I could really go on and on, but I think I'm developing carpel tunnel in my wrist... MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

An elf, a manatee, any animal basically or magical creature. Oh..and young Bono, but time machines do not work..I have tried.

Music:

I hate this question too. Can't I say that I'm just a fan of music in general? Give me something to listen to and I will. I will love U2 forever and yes, a Coldplay fan. At the moment I listen to The Subways, Arcade Fire, Josh Rouse, Bloc Party, Gorillaz, Kaiser Chiefs, The Futureheads, Broken Social Scene, Stars, The Clash, The Ramones, Metric, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd,Talking Heads, Sabbath (only on bad days...) Damien Rice, Arctic Monkeys, The B52's, Bedouin Soundclash, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, The New Pornographers, Peter Bejorn and John, The Police, Sting, The Velvet Underground (early Lou Reed though) The Beatles, The Cure,Corrine Bailey Rae, Amos Lee, Razorlight, Jeff Buckley, Amie Mann, Interpol, any classical, Joni Michell, Elton John (more 70's stuff though), Cat Stevens, Queen, Cary Brothers,The Smiths (I dont care what you say about Morissey Adam!!),The Shins, Scissor Sisters, Zero 7, Muse, Cat Power, Fiest, David Gray, Fiona Apple (when I'm in a REALLY bad mood), Thom Yorke (means Radiohead of course!) a LOT of jazz and many many more. I will try anything once, but must warn you, I find it especially hard to take rap, most country (except Cash of course), and death metal...(cringe). I'm really taken to blues lately like B.B King and John Lee Hooker...blues guitar makes me swoon...*sigh*

Movies:

Anything that pertains to magic...or animals or musicals. I'll watch any movie that contains Gene Kelly..ANYTHING

Television:

Okay, so along with the other interests in my life, I do love tv. BUT I NEVER GET TO WATCH IT ANYMORE!! UHHH!! But when I DO get to watch it I tune into House (omg omg, Huge Laurie is lovely....Oh that Wooster). I watch The Office (British is better, no one say American is!!! BRITISH IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER) Litle Britain enlightens my soul as well. Omg omg omg Micheal Palin!! *sigh* What a lovely sight! Sorry, completely random comment. Oh, I have also spent 196 hours and counting devoted to the show Lost...only talk to me about that show if you watch it, if not..dont ask, I dont want to talk about it.

Books:

I love to read and picking a favorite book to me is like picking whom I love more: my mom or dad. For me at least, that can't be done. But the book that I will read repeatly with being in awe every time is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and people if you haven't read it, please do. It's brilliant. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin (or any Austin) I love to death and I'm not a romantic sort of person....but oh that Mr. Darcy. So many books like East of Eden, The Kite Runner, The Handmaidens Tale, Wicked, Outlander,High Fidelity, In Cold Blood, Eleanor Rigby, Night, Harry Potter, and cant forget Wuthering Heights..Heathcliff and I have a love/hate relationship.

Heroes:

My mother, my grandmother, my friends, and my family. Those are my main heros that touch me everyday and the people who are avocates for others around the world and take nothing for themselves. If only I can be that altruistic.
