Your Language Arts Grade: 100%

Way to go! You know not to trust the MS Grammar Check and you know "no" from "know." Now, go forth and spread the good word (or at least, the proper use of apostrophes).

Soooo... I love; huuuuge platform boots, slashed tops, climbing, flary trousers, Gene Wilder, paranormal stuff (especially overnight vigils in haunted places), frogs, chilli, whole days spent in bed, really tall men, Stella (of the lager-istic variety - I don't actually know any people called 'Stella'), Kermit, household appliances (yep, strange, I know!), big hairy chests (ok...so Alex told me to put that one down!), eyeliner, the Muppets, wine, camping, vegetarian food (so vegetables, vegetables and even MORE vegetables...mmm),and writing lists! Oh, and I can be a bit of an fitness and healthy eating guru from time to time, so feel free to just ignore me when I go through one of my 'phases'.
I have a tendency to laugh too much, but not always at things which other people find amusing, and often in the most inappropriate circumstances. But hey...I can't help what I find funny. Right up there in my list of funny things are badly dubbed martial arts films just now, and 'rock-style' ballads. Actually, I'm no longer sure that I still find the rock ballads amusing...I think I actually seriously like them now - and we're talking full on power ballads here!
Oh, and I've been trying to conquer my fear of skirts, heels and handbags, and after all of these years, I'm finally winning! Recently, I've even been seen outside my house doing the 'skirt wearing' thing. Once unheard of, but now becoming a very frequent occurrence. Skirts and stiletto heels seem to be the new 'me'. It's a strange old world. I do find that when wearing very short skirts though - I'm constantly having to yank it down to prevent indecent exposure, so there's still an element of that paranoia kicking about. See, the traumas of being female, eh? I knew there was a good reason why I never used to wear them!
Action films are a total turn off to me. Damn them...I can never understand what the hell's going on, who's shooting who, and who's chasing who! So, I become one of those really annoying 'who's that...and why are they doing that?' talking through the film, kind of person! Give me a simple cheesy American TV film anyday...I TOTALLY recommend Nice Girls Don't Explode by the way. Oh, and of course there's my love for badly dubbed Kung Fu, and horror/thriller/anything-a-bit-disturbing-or-sinister type films. Should I be worried about this?
I have a particular aversion to really bad spelling and text talk. It drives me insane. Didn't we all learn it at school (errrr, primary level at that), so it can't be that hard? So real, full words please! There are 26 letters in the alphabet, aren't there? Come on...use them. You know you want to!
And no, I'm not interested in meeting up for 'no strings fun', cyber sex or seeing you naked on msn, and I'm not about to sell you my used knickers either. I'm a classy kind of gal for gawd's sake. Ahem. I kind of prefer the good old fashioned approach a bit...y'know...get to know a bloke first before him trying to flash at you. You'd get arrested for doing that in public! Webcams are the spawn of the devil...seriously. Whatever happened to the good old art of conversation?
Finally...if you're a random, please don't just try and add me. In fact, you won't be able to now unless you know either my surname or my email address (and let's face it, if you're a random, then you won't. Heh). And that doesn't mean I'll add you just because you've messaged me asking me to do so. I like keeping my friends list for actual 'friends'. Y'know...the kind of people who you've actually talked to before and have got to know on some level (yes, radical concept for MySpace, I know), so I'm not about to accept any randoms unless there's a good reason to do it. I'll only add people who I either know, or would like to get to know and chat to from time to time - otherwise, what's the point? The 'people collectors' on here don't impress me. It doesn't mean you're popular and have lots of friends...it just means you've clicked on the "add to friends" button a few thousand too many times, and are desperate for people to like you (or desperate to at least LOOK like people like you, even if they don't). So no, I'm not about to be a face added to anybody's 'collection'. And you can still get to know a person without hitting on the "add to friends" button, believe it or not...it's called "COMMUNICATION". Something that we all [should have] learned to do at one point before "friendship buttons" came into existence.
Yada yada yada...end of transmission.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Hmmmm...I have no idea?

Music:

Loud, alternative and ermm...bassy!

Movies:

Nice Girls Don't Explode, Blazing Saddles, Kung Pow, See No Evil Hear No Evil (and anything with Gene Wilder...phwoaar), Dazed and Confused, Deuce Bigalo. Currently loving really old and badly dubbed Kung Fu films. I'll keep adding to this when I actually get my brain kicked into gear and can think of more!

I notice that MySpace has changed its Mailbox layout.  And I notice that it now tells you how many unread messages you have.  Great.  You'd think.  Only I now see that I have 41 un...
