Jeez, I can't feel my knees...

About Me


I was born on a giant attack helicopter and raised by pandas. Fact. I’m twenty four years old as of July 2006. I live in Auckland City, New Zealand. I’m trying to follow the teachings of Jesus. Let’s all try not to be such bigoted assholes towards another. That goes for all of us.

There are lots of things I like doing but I think my favourite one is singing and playing guitar and dancing silly. I'm trying to get good at things that pay the bills as well.

I would love to see the world. I sometimes have a beard.


Listen to Bear Cat here

My Interests

Music, writing, hilarity, robot tigers, guitars, God, reading, running, climbing trees, sleepovers, travelling, roadtrips, cheesy photos in front of monuments, fun facts, people that make their myspace url "www.myspace.com/sarahlovesjonnyforeverandever" and then they're stuck with it after the breakup... guess it's like a tattoo really. If I got a tattoo it'd be of Bill Murray.

I'd like to meet:

Oh! If anyone, a real-life version of that girl from Amelie! I love people who treat others as if they were lovingly speaking to a close friend or perhaps a pet, like a puppy or a pony. I admire this quality to no end because it is something that I wish to display myself, yet fail to do so on many occasions. I'm jealous and hope their goodness will rub off on me. Working on it. I hate it a lot when people think that somehow certain folks aren't worthy of a basic level of respect.

And yeah... The internet is out of control, having 900 “friends” sounds ridiculous to me too, but I really like the real ones. The rest are probably just bands I like or something..
