About Me

It's a new world order this is now!!Everything in life is transcient, change is inevitable, so I figured its about time I changed or at least modified my profile.People say I'm a little kooky, a bit eccentric, rather perky, styley and loyal. People say alot of things though.I personally feel that I am a passionate sort of person who is amused by the often mundane yet extrodinaryily beautiful sights of everyday life. I'm a major people watcher and love sitting on k rd and watching the assortment of unique individuals who pass me, and also enjoy making up little narratives about them in my head.With everything in my life as long as I am passionate about it and can find some sort of creative element or aspect in what I am doing, listening to, working on, creating or reasearching then I am immensely happy....................................................... ..........................................................A dear friend and love once said that to be happy is to have friends, yet to be immensely happy is to have creativity because nothing will keep you warm at night like the power of your own creativity.With this statement in mind, I try to live my life this way, to both honour Elle and because I feel that for me creativity is the most powerful and prized toanga in my life........................................................ ..........................................................Cu rrently I am still working on my television series, Somewhere Only We Know: A Visual Journal of the Imagination. I have been creating and writing this script for two years now, I wrote the two hour pilot episode as an honours directed study and episode two, The Judgement of Strangers as part of my honours scriptwriting paper last sememester. I am continuing to write the series outside of my tertiary studies however am still recieving helpful advice from my previous university supervisors and mentors. I am taking a break from study for now, I figure after three years undergrad and one and a half post-grad it is time for a sebatacle of sorts. However I plan to move to Melbourne next year to complete the year long VCA producing grad programme, in which I will work on my series more as well as learn the skills necessary to be producer in Australia for both cinema and television. Also the text in my headline is the tag line for the series, Inspired by the words of Milan the central protagonist. Okay that is enough ranting..................................................... ..........................................................

I'd like to meet:

Firstly I would like to meet Amy Winehouse, so we can down three bottles of red, smoke two packs of cigarettes and have a few lines. Before getting on the dance floor and doing the Winehouse sway and swagger, waving our hands about in a soulful manner.I'd also like to meet the boys from Kings Of Leon and have a night of moonshine mantra with them, drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels each, wailing out tunes, smoking a bit of everything and having a Kings Of The Rodeo style rock down on the dancefloor, Cowboy boots and skinny jeans in tow.In all honesty though I am on here to make friends. I love people and the process of getting to know new people, disovering their individual quirks and nuances. I'm also on here for the purpose of 'social networking' as they call it, so would love to get in touch with any musicans, artists, producers, film makers, scriptwriters, designers or people from any other aspect or avenue of the arts. ............................................................ ...................................................... Personally I'm a pretty open minded person and know that in life in order to meet amazing people you have to allow them the chance to charm you, so charm or a amuse away!!!..................................................... ..........................................................Oh and if there is anybody out there that has a Claire Fisher vibe to them or type of personality contact me asap!
