About Me


I am a happily married, mother of two teenage boys. I live online and run guilds on WoW & Neopets. My obsession is the colour purple in all ways (from hair to clothing to bed linen) and I am an avid book reader and Radio One listener (Jo Whiley and Chris Moyles are responsible for me being here..so add me already!!).
I love music...all kinds...all of it. I have been adding as many of the wonderous musical talents to my friends list.
Your Passion is Purple!
You've got a ton of passion, but you don't always wear it on your sleeve.
If something truly excites you, you let your inner intensity shine through.
But otherwise, your passion tends to morph into energy ... which you never lack.
You're a balanced woman, knowing when to turn on the fire in your heart. What Colour is Your Passion?

I'd like to meet:

Like minded people who share my interests for friendship...nothing else!

Music:

Music is my emotional roadmap if you will, it can bring me any range of emotion that I need to explore. Music is food for the soul. I like discovering new music and I am related to an inspiring up & coming musician, although I do owe so very much to the legendary John Peel, who helped me open my mind, heart & soul to new musical experiences. He is sadly missed but never forgotten.

I am a huge Prince fan (can you begin to see the purple link yet?) but I also like many, many bands, groups and singers such as:-
dchtofthedanman, Edwards Sounding Block, Tobi Love, Miles Davis, Blondie, Moody Blues, Ravi Shankar, The Byrds, Arctic Monkeys, Louis Armstrong, Blink 182, Meat Loaf, Earth Wind and Fire, Rosie Gaines, Chemical Brothers, Chaka Khan, The Who, Joss Stone, Green Day, Fleetwood Mac, Red Hot Chili Peppers, E.L.O.

Movies:

I love a good comedy (romance or not), an interesting psychological thriller is great too and a sci-fi with great visual effects. My all time favourite movie is St Elmo's Fire as it reminds me so well of that point in my life where I realised that being a grown-up was not the end of the world just the very next step.
I also love The Big Lebowski which I rented by default & laughed myself silly throughout!! It still brings laughter to my life.

Television:

I listen more than watch unless it is Lost, Battlestar Galactica, any Star Trek, either Stargate, Friends, My Name is Earl, ER, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, Surface, Desperate Housewives, Big Brother, Fraiser, Deal or No Deal, Scrubs and Becker.

I HATE CAR & MONEY ADVERTS!!

Books:

I love Stephen King's work, I'm addicted to Robert Rankin's hilarious slant on life, I enjoy a good mystery with a bit of murder thrown in and the occasional lawroom drama with John Grisham. I also like true stories & autobiographies, historical or just life experience.

Heroes:

I have always admired Ghandi, Emmeline Pankhurst, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, James Lovelock, Rachel Louise Carson and Nelson Mandela.
