I am here for Friends

About Me

Hello. I am Rocky. Rocky is my name. I'm a student and I live in Glasvagas. I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with my life. I really don't mind. Generally I look like hell. My music project (Small man, big bow tie) will be available on myspace very soon.
I give very bad first impressions. If I can't be assed to talk to you then i probably won't.
I am not a good person and I suffer for it.
I hate the following things: spiders, sharks, sweet and savoury things together, hangovers, essays, Blink 182 (sorry), people putting me down, getting lost, being tickled, very hot rooms, very cold rooms, being festivly plump, bibliographies (oh lets all show how well read we are), people who have no banter and the word 'random'. You're not random. You're a twat.
I do however like the following things: Magnet and the other cronies, swimming with Ailsa, black and white films, crisps, funkfit, music, writing about music, conspiricy theories, my car, my parents, my brother, my flat, fairy lights, sex in the city, running around like I'm not lazy, people who call me Rocky, Club Noir, the QMU, Alexio, people who call me Porter, Dave and Martin, summer time, my aviators, my jacket, how much effort everyone put into my birthday, my ever changing accent, drugs, secrets, Bright Eyes, being busy, lying through my teeth, my stereo, my boy (very much), recording with Dave, Bright Eyes and Johnny Cash.
Anyway, i'd best be off.
Over and out

My Interests

Anyway...so yeah I'm Rachel-Porter. I play music. Lots and lots of music. I do some solo stuff but I'm not really into gigging (those of you who know me will know what it does me) so instead i'm slowly writing an album which can sit at the back of my to-do list for the next twenty years.

I write for a magazine called Is This Music? which everyone should buy because it's great. I also write fiction.

I don't like people who mess me about. It's just not cricket.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life but I like the freedom.

I'm moving to Italy after my degree.

My brother, Gill and Dave are the most important people to me. I love them more than anything.

I go to the QMU a lot with Alex and my homeboys. Tis always a good laugh.

I like short sentences.

I hate christmas but I am looking forward to going back home this year. I'll get to see my brother which is gonna be so good. Christmas for me is about getting drunk with him and watching box sets all day long.

I think I may have broken one of my ribs. It hurts a lot. I blame you.

Anyway, over and out kids.
