I'm a full blown reading/writing obsessive. I spent most of my life with my head in a book or trying to write one. The Books of Clowes keep me believing. Music - i have to have it on all the time. It sends me to sleep it wakes me up! Gig's gigs gigs... you CANNOT beat the crush of a crowd
A good film is my favourite way to drop out of relaity for a few hours.
Getting pierced and tattooed...
Oh and of course my little black and pink shoes, and my big black sunglasses, trivial? Yes. But they make me happy!
I also like to steal condiment sachets,(technically they are free) and avoiding people on stilts is quite high up on my list of things to do.
Oh and boys that drink whiskey!!!
I also have a bit of a fascination with Traci Lords!
Paul Kaye - He can do NO WRONG!!!!
I'd like to meet:
Anyone i can have a good chat with. Oh and the person who is in charge of the royal mail. I would like to intercept thier post for months on end- then break it and send it in a bag that say 'we are sorry...'See how you like it eh? eh?!AGRRR They make me so very cross! Johnny Rotten, John Lydon, whatever you wanna call him (although i'm pretty sure he wouldn't like me wanting to meet him.)
Oh and Paul Kaye...
