I am here for Friends

About Me


Welcome to Planet Fatima! You’ve stumbled across my little section of the vast entity known as Myspace. Or as I and many others like to lovingly refer to it as Myspaz. “You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave” as the song Hotel California goes and thus here I am!
Music is my life. It’s what keeps me going through life’s ups and downs. There's nothing quite like a good song to get you going in the mornings, when you're feeling blue, happy - basically whenever!! Own a guitar but can't really play. A female Jimi Hendrix I ain’t! I'm also obsessed with Led Zeppelin, and some actor known as Johnny Depp!
I also present Glass Moon - a radio show on Wired FM, Goldsmiths’ radio station. So check out the myspace below and give me a listen!! MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

MUSIC, music, music!! literature, Politics, writing articles, writing about music, walking around London, history, philosophy, radio production, Pirates, skulls and crossbones and the like, looking at pretty guitars
