I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

Shortish slightly insane, sorry, eccentric ex English student currently residing in Leicester and looking for an escape. Literate, passionate, obsessive, unapolagetic. Marillion anorak. Reality is something that you rise above.I may vanish randomly every so often but I usually come back.

The Mariner, whose eye is bright,
Whose beard with age is hoar,
Is gone : and now the Wedding-Guest
Turned from the bridegroom's door.

He went like one that hath been stunned,
And is of sense forlorn:
A sadder and a wiser man,
He rose the morrow morn.

My Interests

reading, tv, writing, internet, learning, making friends, trying to be a better person, playing the piano, playing the violin, singing, MARILLION, relaxing as much as humanly possible, endeavouring not to insult people accidently on the internet, being bad at spelling, surviving boring jobs, being positive, refusing to fill in these little boxes properly.And I'm afraid I do rather like:Hello Kitty!

I'd like to meet:

Actors/musicians/etc? I've met most of the ones I've wanted to. Still avoiding my stalking prowess are Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Paul McGann and Peter Wingfield. Plus a couple who I'm almost certainly never going to have a chance meet anyway like Gary Oldman.As for people on this thing, I suppose that's what the profile's for.

Music:

Marillion, (and associated stuff e.g Kino, h band; I am paying for all their retirements...), David Bowie, Fairport Convention, various folk music, especially English, good pop music (cheesy or otherwise), I'm not that good on music to be honest, but I'm learning.

Movies:

Lawrence of Arabia, Withnail and I, Stealing Beauty, Stage Beauty, I Capture the Castle, Prospero's Books, The Tempest (Derek Jarman), Lolita (Adrian Lyne), Interview With the Vampire, The Last Emperor, Still Crazy, A Midsummer Night's Dream (Adrian Noble), Singin' In the Rain, It's A Wonderful Life, Notting Hill, Wilde, The Lion King, Ben-Hur, Pirates of the Caribbean, Swan Lake (Matthew Bourne),

Television:

Star Trek, Lost, Rome, Doctor Who, David Attenborough documentaries, anything made with intelligence

Books:

LOADS of different things, far too many to list. Modern stuff is not usually my strong point though.

Heroes:

Heroes are a bad idea, everyone is flawed. Some people I admire for various and differing reasons are David Attenborough, Mark Rylance, Steve Hogarth, anyone who devotes their time to charity (because I couldn't do it), and anyone who refuses to be cynical. So there.

Random stuff

 Facebook is asking me how I know Ian Hislop. (And according to the Guardian it is, somewhat unnervingly, the real Ian Hislop, which would be kind of awesome if true. Although he does belong to a...

Elizabeth meets Chloe

Today, while attempting for the third day to leave Essex (it's a long story) I was sat on a bus when what seemed like an entire school of young children got on. One little girl, of about seven, sat do...

They win.

Right, I'm getting the hell off the MOLF - anyone who sees me on it before the London gigs is to throw rocks at my head. Or just tell me off.  It's not healthy to have so much negativity in ...
