Fighting crime takes up a lot of my spare time.
Things I enjoy: Benefit cosmetics, When things expire on my birthday, good music, watching movies over and over and never getting bored of them, pop culture, kinderwhores and drag queens, cowboy related paraphernalia, old cameras, disposable cameras, my dad's camera, Corin Tucker, kittyradio, most seafood, John Deere tractors, London, impulse purchases, nice days, all seasons that are not spring, Courtney Love, pictionary, default layouts, ukuleles, Roseanne, Scottish people, biding my time, insulting Natalie Collier, Brighton, good accents, hugs and hi-5s, Alex Strachan, YouTube, fat children, old people, public transport, listening to a song for the 3098019740897th time and realising how good it really is, art galleries, b+w photographs, Jenny Lewis, sleazy chat shows, chinese food, cookies, dancing in the living room with Rachel's mother, chats with Phil's mother, being too friendly with my friends' mothers, eBay, buying presents, drawing, tall people, bubble bars, big skinny hands, and pretty much being really hardcore.
Things I do not enjoy: JODIE MARSH Sean Kingston, the bastardisation of good bands through overexposure, right wing politics, limewire/kazaa/etc, wind and rain, uncomfortable situations, organised religion, fruitcake, over use of swear words to the point where they just become meaningless and annoying, NME-centric bands and the people who follow them, Mr Izhar, the PE department, fat hands, intolerence, emo, Tom Cruise, stuffy conservatives, remote towns and villages, sports, The OC after the first half of season one, people who can't differentiate between there/their/they're, Adam Sandler, my thumbs, salmon, Gerard Way, pointless horror movies, Kaiser Chiefs, general crap stuff, rats on the underground, long fingernails, Natalie Collier, death metal, snails, vaseline under fingernails, shampoo in eyes, unfairness, Shirley Phelps-Roper, being cancelled on, internet explorer, Nirvanatards, purple skittles, cheapskates, people who make vile noises when eating, scenes in public places, internet shorthand, and loads more. But let's not dwell on the negative stuff, eh?
These words are also good: Promiscuous, repugnant, dyke, wanker, vapid, fellatio, lackadaisical, whore, pseudonym, troglodyte, paraphernalia, insipid, loquacious, kumquat, totalitarian.
However, these ones are not: Amaze (when used in the context of 'that's amaze!'), nozzle, snot, blog, tenner, sack, snuff, grunt, nonsense, luxury. The word I hate most of all is ointment. Actually, I've changed my mind. I absolutely abhor the word 'gash'.
I'd like to meet:
NINO QUINCAMPOIX.
I miss the park. I'd like someone to take me there again.
I'd also like to meet someone who appreciates the value of singing Disney songs in French.
I don't like wankers. Don't be my friend if you fit that description.
Music:
Right now, it's all about Shoegaze.
One day I will make a fully comprehensive list. But not today.
