When push comes to shove, we all need a little give and take...

About Me

You wanna know about me, huh? Well what can I tell you that you already don't know? *thinks* I have a completely tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. I like writing and one day I intend to be famous...I WILL be famous, I've waited a long time to step out of the shadows and be who I want to be. I like photography, especially black and white's. I like people-watching. I love horses, I started riding when I was just 2 years old, as I reportedly couldn't sit still. I learned to read at an incredibly early age and was always found with a book in my hands - yes, even on a horse, truly. I studied art for many years and have a degree in fashion. It wasn't my first choice but I'm glad I did it. I have 10 O'levels, 4 A'levels and a diploma in art - I specialized in life drawing and portraits. I have always enjoyed studying people, they fascinate me. I am petrified of spiders, I mean absolutely terrified. I also have a phobia about socks *shudders* and don't even come near me if you have horrible feet. And I am very clumsy...I'm always putting my foot in my mouth...I speak first, think later. I love margaritas, can you handle a body shot?Natasha Bedingfield

My Interests

photography, writing, reading, having fun, chatting, being silly with my friends, writing, playing on the computer, cinema, smut, writing, meeting new people, experimenting with boundaries, pushing limits, asking questions, writing.

I'd like to meet:

I like people who can make me laugh, who can hold a conversation. I like people who are slightly nutty and completely insane. I would like to meet people who have similar interests as me. I like people who aren't afraid to handle me, I speak my mind, have strong opinions and can sometimes put my foot in my mouth - but I'm fun and never boring! I can be slightly annoying at times - but if you like a handful of wilful woman, you'll do fine. I'm a huge flirty-pants and I love men - especially men who look after themselves and ripple with lickable muscles...I need to stop before I cause irrepairable damage to my reputation...Actually, I guess I just like men - get into my mind and you could get into my knickers *winks*..

Music:

fave bands are: well, if you want to know...ask! I like so many different kinds of music I wouldn't know where to begin listing. It has to move me, have a sexy beat and make me want to get up and dance. But then I swing to classical and opera...I will not be pidgeon-holed...This is the video that inspired me to write my first slash fic about Brian and Dom, plus the song fuckin' rocks!!! One day, I may get brave enough to post my fic!!!

Movies:

Knockaround Guys, XXX, TCOR, PB, Multi-Facial, Pacifier, AMA - Ok you get it, I am obsessed with VIN DIESEL!!!!! I like other films too, honest!!! House of 1000 Corpses, Devil's Rejects, Face/Off, Pulp Fiction, Resevoir, Dogs, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, On The Waterfront, Apocolypse Now, Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys, Sixth Sense, Armageddon, 8mm, Meet Joe Black, Legends of the Fall, Fight Club, UnFaithful, Living it Up, In The Time Of Butterflies, Fools Rush In, The Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood, In Her Shoes, A Room With A View, Murder by Numbers, Dogma, Tank Girl, The Crow, Halloween (all the Halloween films - lots of the 70's Horror films were cool, Rabid - cult film...bring it on, I can handle it), Nightmare Before Xmas, The Corpse Bride - all Tim Burton films - except Planet of the freakin Apes, Donnie Brasco, Goodfellas, I love Horror films - I love being scared witless. Ghost films and phsychological thrillers scare me more than your good old slash/blood/gore flicks.

Television:

TV I like: CSI:Vegas, CSI:Miami, I like the NY one too but not as much. I love The Sopranos. I hate reality TV shows - won't watch that stuff at all. I love Supernatural, Lost, Prison Break, Charmed, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Bones, Angel. But after all that, I don't watch an awful lot of TV - I prefer films!

Books:

anything by Anne Rice, Albert Camus,Christine Feehan. Sherrilyn Kenyon. Lisa Kleypas. Maggie Shayne. Laurell K. Hamilton. Faith Addis. Patricia Cornwell. Kathy Reichs. Marion Zimmer Bradley. Mary Higgins Clark. Freda Warrington. Jonathon Kellerman. Amanda Ashley. Teresa Medeiros. and I love a lot of poetry by people such as Byron. I also love horrors, and supernatural books. Text books about writing. Right now, I am reading Babylon Babies by Maurice G Dantec...now my appetites been whetted, I crave more...

Heroes:

Firstly, my Grandmother is my biggest heroine - she is the wisest person I know, and the most loving. She rocks my world and I love her so much. Vin Diesel (big surprise). Most of my heroes are ordinary people who do extra-ordinary things, who stand up for people, who set aside precoinceived misconceptions and fight for the right to be whoever and whatever they wish to be.
