About Me

Does it REALLY matter? Oh alright.......bit of a perfectionist therefore difficult to live with. I am not easily shocked, I worry too much, I think films are too loud in cinemas. I think dogs should be banned. I think haircuts should be on the NHS. I think Left and Right are matters of opinion. I think Dove deodorant makes you smell clean rather than 'like deodorant'. I think tea should be free. I think cats should be allowed to vote (but only after they've napped). I think electric blankets are brilliant. I think getting someones phone number written in eyeliner on a napkin is romantic. I think a camera is as important as chocolate. I think chocolate is as important as the Kyoto Protocol. I think you must be bored by now...and stop bloody moping!

My Interests

Art (looking and doing), writing music and performing it, photography, dressing up, ballet, makeup, shoes, shopping, making bread, writing stuff, procrastination, eating chocolate, staring at blank canvasses, plants, cats, good food.
