About Me

A good friend wrote me this little rhyme that I would like to share with you all:There once was a girl named Jill,Who knew how to get on the swill,She lived in Korea,But developed a fear,Cos expat life was too run-of-the-mill!

My Interests

Writing, crosswords, firmly believing that not everyone needs to start their own 'zine', reading, live music, friendships...I could go on, but I am sure you are beginning to lose interest in my interests. I have recently rediscovered the wonders of board games. Shogun and Risk are not only time consuming, but also rewarding. Alright, they are not rewarding at all.

I'd like to meet:

People who don't sport Nike Air Force high top running shoes with the tongue sticking out over their tapered, tight ankle jeans.

Music:

At the Drive-In, Sparta, Jawbreaker, The Promise Ring, Face to Face, Postal Service, Hot Water Music, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Get Up Kids, Greg MacPherson, The Weakerthans, The Clash Hot Hot Heat, Jets To Brazil, Leonard Cohen, Death Cab For Cutie, Modest Mouse, NOFX, Taking Back Sunday, The Afterbeat, Bad Religion, Mike Ness

Movies:

Books:

Hard Times - Charles Dickens, Vilette - Charlotte Bronte, The Scarlet Letter - Nataniel Hawthorne, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevens, All Families Are Psychotic - Douglas Coupland, An Ideal Husband - Oscar Wilde (Almost entirely a selection of books that is rarely read by anyone who is still living or under the age of 50. It's the whole Victorian thing that catches my fancy, which most people find appauling. Totally understandable though) One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 1984 - George Orwell, Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
