About Me

I love walking bare foot round town wearing my rainbow coloured headband, flower in my hair, and chewing on a long bit of grass....when I'm not doing that I'm usually wearing a lovely jumper, listening to some tunes.

My Interests

sculpture... David Mach , Tony cragg, Bill woodrow..playing and watching football (the newcastle version)...photography...well flickr-ing anyway ( www.flickr.com/photos/elixirix )...playing and writing music ( www.myspace.com/branchimmersion )..doing the washing up...making people laugh (sometimes by playing the guitar)....talking to random celebs I meet on the street....singing...web accessibility...jumpers...cheap striped blue shirts

I'd like to meet:

People that can make me laugh and make me think at the same time.....but know when silence can be a good thing...

Music:

Movies:

Movies tend to make me fall asleep..something to do with the darkness, the comfy seating, and the overdoses of sugar..but some good films that I've managed to make it through are..Made In Britain, The Big Lebowski, Bullet Boy, Closer, Edward Scissor Hands, The Mummy, Pollock, Wilbur wants to Kill himself.

Television:

Not the biggest telly addict, but there are some quality sweaters to be spotted on there...Fred Dibnah, MOTD, Pheonix Nights, The Day Today, Brass Eye...anything with Radio DJs to see how they act in front of the cameras...more likely to find me listening to 5 live, Gilles Peterson, Charlie Gilletts, Dave Gorman...

Heroes:

There are only three worthy fellows: Bert Jansch, Alan Shearer, David Mach

the wisdom of teeth
