My Interests

Music, gigs, lidos, beach huts, modern and conceptual art, the loneliness of long distance running, occasional drinking sessions, skinnydipping,cool camping (that's in tents, not in a club with my hand on my hip) trying to gain a new academic qualification every year.

I'd like to meet:

You. Maybe. If you are nice.

Music:

I keep writing long lists of artists who I love and who inspire me and it never seems to express my tastes fully, so instead I'll just say that I love music that affects me in some way....sometimes that can be emotional, sometimes physical, sometimes music can make me stop and think about my life and the world, othertimes it can make me happy or sad, but whatever that music is it must move me in some way. I don't listen to music with my ears I listen with my heart and soul.

Movies:

Breaking The Waves, Dancer In The Dark, In The Name Of The Father, Heavenly Creatures, My Summer Of Love, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind,Children Of Men, Jude, Finding Neverland, oh and Crap Universal Studios Horror Films
