In a list form, my interests may just read something like this:
Cats, Vintage Homeware and Clothing, Music, 'The Arts', Japan + FRUiTS, Multimedia Design, anything bright, happy, fun, individual, original, interesting, eye-catching, super, sassy, retro!I run an online Emporium and a small multimedia business. I also like to spy on cats, say 'MEW' and drink tequila quite a lot too.
People are also quite interesting to me, although, most people don't know who I am. I don't mean that in a pretentious sort of way, it's just that, I guess I prefer to watch from afar, rather than become part of the clique.
Cliques are not an interest of mine.

My movies list is somewhat near as large as my surprisingly abridged music list... I do not wish to bore you with another gigantic list.
Brave New World, A Kestrel for a Knave, Memoirs of a Geisha, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Manga and Comic books...
These people are my heroes because they have been an inspiration to me, and (unwittingly!) helped me through some sad times, and even helped me feel what it is like to love and be loved. A special thank you to the Smiths and Ben Folds for seamlessly having lyrics to fit in with so many things I have been through so far. My family and few true friends, Ben Folds, Jarvis Cocker, Elliott Smith, Astrud Gilberto, Kimya Dawson, David Bowie, Beck, Bill Hicks, Chan Marshall, Clem Snide, Neil Hannon, Patsy Cline, Morrissey, E, Nick Drake, John Waters, Sergio Mendes, Hiyo Miyazaki... there are many more, but it is late, I should be going now...
