About Me

I'm Mel... or Emily sometimes....or Consuella Brown confused? Don't be. Sometimes i'm an afghan hound, when i straighten my hair.I study English at Cardiff (or Caiiirrrrr--didddd as Corinne would say in our sketch show). We have a sketch show...which consists mostly of Corinne shouting a random word in french accent. It's real funny. I wish wish wish i was bilingual and i wish we could get our hands on two good LBGs - one for me and one for George. "One of those of our choice." I like to creep up on people - i find it really funny. Especially creeping up on Guy. I find lots of stupid and weird things funny. I'm easily excited. I love trips to Bristol to see those ones, and just general Brizzle nights out. Oh they are good. I'm a big fan of Corinne and Jay birthday projects... especially when they involve all things that are b**** and KFC buckets just chilling out in Ann Summers. Why not?

Well NOT Pulp Fiction for a start! Closer.... love love love it!! Amelie, The Shawshank Redemption (that's becoming a bit of a cliche...), Mean Girls, 10 Things I Hate About You, Double Jeopardy, The Beach, Fear and Loathing :D Profile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0

Television:

Neighbours.... of course. I saw Karl Kennedy and shook his hand - he tried to pull it away but i held on, yes i did.
