About Me

My present may be beige but my future ought to be bright! Asides from going back to colaiste to do my masters in English, I have many colourful ambitions, i.e. Shimmying on the top of Mount Everest (as read the prophecy), finding out that I'm the love child of Keith Richards and Marianne Faithful, posing for Playboy, becoming as charismatic as Bill Clinton, and seeing Earth from Space. If you feel you have the resources to make any of the above happen (especially if you're Keith Richards and you wanna adopt me!) then I'd be happy to befriend you and use you to obtain my own self-indulgent goals! If, however, you can't offer me any of the above,then just but me a drink and we'll call it quits!

My Interests

Wearing dresses at any given oppurtunity, dancing like nobody can see me, kissing, singing, discovering more music that i love, sleeping, running, brushing my teeth, pole-dancing, yoga, laughing so much I cry, laughing so much my back and tummy hurt, Gonzo, driving fast, eyeliner, gym, books, hoarding things, constructing perfect sentences and being really proud of them, flirting without realising it (apparantly), sight-seeing, museums, summer, photographs, lingerie, bizarre facts.

I'd like to meet:

Me in 1991 when I was sporting a rather fetching ski jacket to school. Illuminous yellow, pink and purple, must've look great with my wine uniform. Aslo- ski jacket; what a concept! A 7 year old from Dublin in a SKI JACKET!! I believe they were the style at the time. Otherwise my guardians had no excuse. I like to think that my ski jacket is still doing the rounds somewhere, most likely on some poor kid in Africa. He must be both the coolest and the hottest kid in Africa. And the most confused. I would also like to meet Jose Mourinho so i could initiate a sordid affair with him. Phil tells me his wife's not that hot so i think I'm well in there. We could go shopping for stylish ensembles together and then go home and make sweet sweet lurrrrve.Disclaimer: I don't support Chelsea FC.

Music:

The Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon, The Libertines, The Small Faces, Love, The Kinks, The Who, The Beach Boys, The Jam, The Strokes, Arctic monkeys,The Specials, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Cap pas Cap, Klaxons,Death From Above 1979, Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, LCD Soundsystem, Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers, Stone Roses, Primal Scream, The Stooges,Television, The Velvet Underground, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Mainline, Dusty Springfield, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Smiths,The Rapture, Sex Pistols, Muse, Arcade Fire, Humanzi, Goldfrapp (first 2 albums) Ramones, Weezer, Pavement, Depeche Mode to name but a few of my favourites, in no particular order.I also adore a lot of 60's soul, especially Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Fontella Bass, The Velvelettes,Otis Reading, Aretha and Marvin Gaye. Also inherited a huge appreciation for Frank Sinatra and Deano from my grandfather. Oh yeah, I must not fail to mention that I find all things "Whelans-bred, acoustic guitar wielding singer-songwriter, whiny ponse" utterly abhorrant. The fuckers should have their balls introduced to a cheese grater. Unfortunately, such wank is a common affliction on the Irish music scene, but let's try change that folks; please!!!

Movies:

A Streetcar Named Desire, Goodfellas, Godfather Part II, Fight Club, Donnie Darko, Gone Wtih the Wind, Withnail and I, Team America-World Police (funniest film of all eternity!), Trainspotting, Spinal Tap, Rocky IV (for pure cheese and homo-erotic value!), the Monty Python films, particularly The Holy Grail, and probably a hundred more films that I can't think of right now but will wish I said when I remember

Television:

Garth Marenghi's Dark Place,Seinfeld, Columbo (hell yeah!!), Family Guy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Shameless, The Mighty Boosh, Blackadder, Only Fools and Horses, Never Mind the Buzzcocks,Top Gear, Commercial Presentations, particularly for the Washmatic, Penelli pen set and the magic markers you had when you were 5 and can buy in any newsagents that they try to flog for £25 sterling, The Fast Show, and I know its not shown anymore but dammit, if they were to bring back Captain Planet I'd be a very happy girl! Will Wheeler and Linka ever get it on?? Oh the suspense was almost enough to break my tiny heart! ..

Books:

The Life and Opiniions of Tristram Shandy, almost everything by Roald Dahl, Nineteen Eighty Four,Moll Flanders

Heroes:

Without a doubt Keef is the coolest mother fucker to ever walk this earth and I worship him. Aside from the obvious though there's, Jeremy Clarkson. What an arrogant twat on the one hand, what a fucking god on the other. You try watch eight episodes of Top Gear back to back and tell me differently! Peter Falk, ie. the legend taht is Columbo because he knows you did it and although he only has circumstantial evidence he'll have you, don't you doubt him!! Anybody who knows anything about me knows I've got a Marilyn Monroe fetish. But my favourite heroine of all time is Scarlett O'Hara. What a fantastically spoilt brat. She's a survivor though. And the only thing she really wants is the one thing she can't have. With that I can empathise!
