About Me

Shortarse gobshite...
I just finished my degree....not quite sure what to do with myself now. Whilst revising for my finals, I recently became addicted to the quality programming of the Hallmark Channel. Hopefully gonna do an MSc in September...fingers crossed.
I still am very fond of Birdseye potato products (particularly waffles and smiles), and I love cold showers.

My Interests

Gigs, festivals, listening to what interesting people have got to say. Generally rockin the fuck out...

I'd like to meet:

People who make me laugh and anyone shorter than me.
Justin Lee Collins and Jack Black. I would make them mudwrestle. The winner would then become my husband.

Music:

Too much to mention. But mostly, it has to be loud. And make me jump around. crunchy guitars are good. as are banging basslines. still an indie bint at heart.

Movies:

True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Leon, Face Off, Platoon, Desperado,Raising arizona, Donnie Darko, Natural Born Killers, ANYTHING with Johnny Depp....oh and of course Grease, Dirty Dancing and Saturday Night Fever haha!

Television:

Neighbours and Channel 5's freak programmes.

Books:

Lord of the Flies, Memoirs of a Geisha, anything by Naomi Klein or George Monbiot, The Beach, The Gringo Trail, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, stuff by Tony Hawks and Danny Wallace.

Heroes:

Gallant...you know who you are!! And Daniel Corbett, an inspiration to us all.
