I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm shy and nervous but try to hide it well. Friends mean more to me than anything else in the world. I love going out with my mates and being bouncy, getting drunk, feeling free- but I'm also a sucker for fine food and computer games! I've done a lot and seen a fair bit, but want more of both.When I grow up I want to be an actress :)I have already been (this is going in timeline order and is only covering what I think was useful): child model, waitress, wedding dress designer, reading coach, jewellry designer, hairdresser's model, artist's model, actress/ co producer/director and costume/makeup artist, shop assistant Then I left school.......... Student of Acting/Music/Dance degree, publicity officer for roleplay soc, director, factory worker (various), Shop assistant, Civil servant, healer, herbalist and cook.I am at the moment: disabled, godmother, model again, actress.Oh and in the last few months I've joined a band, have gotten a large chunk of playscript dialogue written, am designing clothes again, am finally allowed to work the best I can without losing the roof over my head and am working on a secret project (ooooh).I'm doing my best to find out about the disability I have (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility) so that I can control it as much as possible. Just to do my bit to raise awareness here are the links to a couple of support groups: http://www.hypermobility.org/forums.php http://www.ehlers-danlos.org/I have lots of bad habits. I'll never pretend I'm perfect but I do my best to be a good person and treat others as I'd like to be treated myself. If I slip up, let me know and I'll try to do something about it! If I can help someone I probably will. I have an unfortunate tendancy to be a perfectionist. I am good in emergencies but useless with everyday life. If I say I care I mean it.

My Interests

Acting, Writing, Painting and drawing, Stage Makeup, Design, Crafts, Decorating, Dressmaking/costume, Cooking, Trees, Paganism, Literature, Poetry, Camping, Flute, Cats, Psychology, Herbs, Energy, Erotica, Shiny things, Weapons, Hugs, Truth, History, Mythology, Science, Entymology, Etymology, Grammar-whoring, Puter gaming, Language etc etc etc.

I'd like to meet:

Preferably folks I have met in real life or people they know pretty well. I'm not so good with strangers because trust is a precious thing and I'm sick of getting stung.Don't, please, try to contact me for anything more than friendship.There are so many people I'd like to meet when I have a shotgun its incredible: bigots, liers, the selfish, the greedy, those who choose ignorance, those who will not admit responsibility for their own actions and their repercussions on others, bullies... people who chew with their mouths open and anyone who consistently uses bad grammar. I also detest anyone leaving crumbs in butter- be warned!

Music:

Rock, Ska, Folk, Classical, Indie, Music Hall, Electro, Retro.The beautiful and the meaningful.

Movies:

Barbarella, Mary poppins, Aftermath,Princess Bride, Pleasantville, Jaberwocky, Time Bandits, Brazil, Baron Munchousen, Sin City, The Haunting, Lust For a Vampire, Blood From The Mummy's Tomb, American Werewolf, The Last Unicorn- etc Blah. I have a bizzare fondness for Carry On films, and any Kevin Smith is naturally a good thing. I generally destest romantic girly shite, give me Conan over that stuff any day.

Television:

Documentary lover. I like to learn and change.Sci-fi floats my boat almost everytime and excellent scriptwriting and acting do too. Imagination is a powerful joy.

Books:

Alice In Wonderland/Through The Looking Glass, Frames Of Mind, Fast Food Nation, The Hiram Key, Complete Works Of Shakespeare, Women On Top, Tess Of The D'Urbervilles, The Bloody Chamber, Beast To the Blonde, No Go The Bogeyman, Restoree, Out Of It, Fingersmith, Le Morte D'arthur, Magic Kingdom for sale/sold, Good Omens,...lots more...so many more I wish I'd gone and listed by author instead- here's a few of those: Alan Moore, Pratchett, Marrion Zimmer Bradley, Oscar Wilde, Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams, Jeff Noon, Tolkien, Clive Barker, Poppy z Brite, John Keats, Magaret Atwood, Anne Mcaffery, Sophocles, Nathaniel West, Poe, Lovecraft etc etc etc

Heroes:

Eleanor of Aquitane, Steven Berkoff, Rae Beth, Antonin Artaud, Elizabeth I, Marianne Faithfull, Prof Ronald Hutton. Not sure any of these guys actually qualify as heros in the true sense of the word, but I admire them and for someone I don't know (except in Ron's case) that's unusal enough for me to give it a go.
