Rowena? ROWEEEEEENA!

About Me

I'm the bubbly, caffeine-addicted love child of Pauly Shore, Bill & Ted and Friends' Phoebe, a weird hopeless opinionated idealist on the verge of insanity. I am practically wearing a straightjacket, but I am getting help. I tend to confuse people... and sometimes I don't mean to. Got my head in the clouds, and refuse to give up on my dreams. I have forgotten to grow up and I enjoy it. Love thinking bout what makes people tick... hence my degree. Much of the hippie persuasion, even though I use the word 'cunt' a lot.
  • Reluctantly Freaky


  • My Interests

    Media, Social Psychology, Spirituality, Christianity (note: NOT Christendom), USA, writing, reading, blogging, drawing, photography, postmodernism, linguistics, chatting with good friends for hour over a Guinness/Sherry/Cider, WWDN, hiking, old dusky antique bookshops, attics, daydreaming, birds, especially those who will sit on my finger, saying things which will get misinterpreted immediately, observing people and the weirdness of life, cows, chicken, impersonations (I am very bad at it), doing weird things and freaking people out for my amusement, laughing if I can help it, getting picked on by stand-up comedians, visiting the beautiful spots on this planet, getting lost in awesome music, perfumes and what they do with my mind, and, of course, my niece Jessie... in a nutshell, being happy

    I'd like to meet:

    Back from the dead

    Ever so slightly. The Fuehrer was indisposed, his remaining bollock was painfully inflamed. So I just drank loads with dad and ran up and down mountains and purchased gallons of cheap Czech rum. But c...

    Mr Yaseen makes bad things go away.
