Reality Has No Place In My World

About Me

I'm not so good at these. I'm in the middle of my MA in Political Studies. I love TV and planes. And the All Blacks. 'Cause they are pretty.

My Interests

politics, planes, aviation, TV, books, physical anthropology, movies

I'd like to meet:

Anyone really. New people are awesome.

Music:

I like a bit of everything really. I'm into TV show soundtracks at the moment, so a lot of indie/relatively unknown stuff. Have recently discovered Eisley and Joshua Radin, but I also like Green Day, Sarah MacLachlan, Four Star Mary, Ivy, Bond, Coldplay, The WBC, Alison Kraus and Imogen Heap. And the Fratellis are awesome.

Movies:

I like a lot of movies including (but definitely not limited to) Amelie, H2G2, Garden State, Madagascar, Rat Race, Shrek, Twister, A Few Good Men, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Over the Hedge, Lord of War, Superbad, Black Sheep (Sheepenstein!) and the LoTR trilogy

Television:

I have just discovered The US Office (The UK one is on my rent list) and Friday Night Lights (yes I'm slow). Pushing Daisies, Reaper and Chuck are my favourite new shows, while I love Bones, How I Met Your Mother, Ugly Betty, Cold Case, Scrubs, Kath and Kim, Outrageous Fortune (best NZ show, possibly ever) and the 'great but cancelled' shows of Gilmore Girls, Firefly, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me and West Wing. There are probably some I've missed because yes, I watch that much TV.

Books:

Yeah, I admit it, I love fluffy chick lit books. Janet Evanovich is one of my favourite authors (I like explosions with my fluff). I also like Bill Bryson, Kathy Reichs and Michael Moore. I have recently started reading Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series which I quite like (Vampires! Zombies!).

My Blog

So...

I randomly decided to sign up for this after resisting for so long. I'm really a LJ girl at heart (where I actually have friends!) but this looks pretty cool too. Like I need another way to waste time...
