Sleeping, singing, writing, drinking tea, playing no rules kung-fu, fighting talk, dancing like nobody's watching, good hair, long, love-lorn letters, spending whole days in bed, talking nine to the dozen, kissing under skylights, being Northern, drinking boozes, jack daniels and coke, Manchester City, taking people's pictures unawares, my balcony, whispering secrets in people's ears, my friends, dossing for the money, make-up, big fringes, blagging gigs, being a music journalist, wholly inappropriate crushes, London, old photographs, nostalgia, staring out of windows, dancing in my underwear, invading people's heads, The Mighty Boosh, shitty Indie clubs, text messages at 3am, shouting messages out of train windows at Sonic Boom from the Spacemen3 when going through Rugby, vintage shoes, 12" vinyl, all the pictures on my wall, being cafe society, driving at night, cross country train journeys, secret messages scrawled on walls, falling asleep in the arms of others, walking and talking the pirate way, falling in love, dinosaurs vs. ninjas, fighting crime, being an American police cop, Vince Noir, You.
I'd like to meet:
A hot young buck with a penchant for self-destruction and excellent cheekbones. Must have own teeth and hair.
MYSPACE BANDS! Listen to me very carefully, because like that bird out of Allo Allo I WILL SAY THIS ONLY ONCE. If you wish to add me, would it kill you to both a) Look at my profile slowly and carefully and b) Send me a nice little message first? Courtesy costs nowt you know. And whilst we're on the subject, no I WILL NOT WRITE ABOUT YOUR BAND EVEN IF YOU DO OFFER ME SEXUAL FAVOURS AND LIKE MY TITS. I require a lot more in the way of payment than that you know. Some Agent Provocateur underwear would be a start.
