Hello Foo!!

About Me

Broadcast engineer, rock chick, artist, Scottish.

Update: Recently redundant, just had a trip to Egypt (hence the new background and profile pic - will return to the skulls at some point I'm sure!) and planning a trip to Australia and New Zealand later this year - if you live there and can give me advice or would like to meet up when I get there, get in touch!!

I'd like to meet:

My next boyfriend .... nah not really .... more realistically I want to meet like-minded people... plus Dave Grohl, Elvis, Nathan Fillion, Josh Holloway, John Taylor, Taylor Hawkins, Jennifer Aniston, Joss Whedon so I can find out if they are like-minded people.... did I mention Dave Grohl?

adopt your own virtual pet!

Becoming MySpace Friends...

Please only ask me to be your friend if you are interested in actually communicating with me. I am not interested in being part of anyone's 'collection' of girls or making up the numbers in a massive group of friends - I won't add you if you (or your page) give that impression. I am here to meet real people, to find new music and to keep up to date with bands I like.

So, if you still want to become friends send me a message introducing yourself as well as a request... it's nice to find out why people want to be friends!! And it's nice to know they've actually read my page first!

COMMENTS...

One more thing - if you're going to post a comment - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't post a huge wide pic that will mess up my page!!! I'll delete it. Try to make it fit the column as it is now. Thanks!!!!

Other heroes: the ancient Egyptians - how advanced were they?? 4000 years ago when we were still living in caves they were writing on paper and making the most amazing monuments ever! WOW...
