I am getting into Jazz, as well as contempory music. Though I do not really like R'n'B or Dance!!!

I love watching films! I haven't seen that many films this year really! I enjoy pretty much all types of films apart from scary ones!

Television:

I don't watch much television but what I do like is; E.R, The Mighty Boosh, Time Team and quizes such as Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Room 101 and Have I Got News For You and the BBC series of Robin Hood. I do also love period dramas.

Books:

I do have a wide ranging taste: trashy novels by Jilly Cooper and Fiona Walker. Romantic novels by Elizabeth Elgin and Lilian Harry. Historical novels by Philippa Gregory, Anya Seaton and Paulina Simons and then general books such as 'Watching The English' by Kate Fox, and music books such as 'Kids in the Riot: Highs and Lows with The Libertines' and 'The Libertines Bound Together' I do love classic authors such as Jane Austin and Charles Dickens.

Heroes:

I don't really have any but people I look up to and inspire me include musicians of all types, and people who stand up for what they passionately believe in. Though my friends are very special to me.
