This chick is hard work!

I live in a bubble... its somewhat hazy in here...

About Me

I am 33 years old, mum of 2 wonderful (thats sarcasm, by the way!) children who like to do nothing more than drive me insane! I live in Swindon, but was born, and grew up in South East London (Greenwich area) I also work for Oxfam both in the shop and within their campaigns department. Yes it is for free, no I don't get paid but I got sick of being in a brain dead job where my morals mean diddely squat. While I can do this, I will. I'm easy going, chilled but also quite emotional and deep thinking, down to earth, friend to everyone type of gal who find this life rather confusing.... or is that just men?

My Interests

I love culture, art, music and faries and am a bit of a modern day hippy type - although don't ask me to define what a hippy is... I believe in spreading the love, alas I don't get the chance too often lol. I hate fighting and agro, and don't like being faced with it. I dislike governments, I do, however, like a good debate and I find politics intersting and am forever trying to understand it. Gimme a festival ticket, the sounds of music being played, a tent (optional) a warm hoodie and my tin and I'm a very content lady. Or I'm just as happy at a club, bouncing to D&B, Breakbeat, Ol Skool or house. I'm a bit of an unsociable sociable :) You'll find me sat in a corner, smiling but rarely chatting... just observing :) My friends - I have little groups of friends all over the place and a few close to home. I love them all in their different quirky eccentric (and some, quite frankly, odd!) ways :)Oh and I do like tea and and chocolate is particularly wonderous too.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet some more local folk - need to broaden my circles of friends seeing as most of my 'likeminded' friends live outa town *tsk, tsk* So if you're local - make sure you say howdy! Also if you love your clubbing and festivals, especially Glastonbury and fancy a chat, drop me a mail! In a nutshell, if you're interesting, cultured, feel you could teach me something I might not know or feel we have stuff in common, drop me a line - a friend is just a stranger you haven't met yet xxx

Music:

Yes, I like music :) My tastes in music is so wide but I do like house, D&B, breakbeat, accoustic, alternative, , ol skool, hip-hop and metal. I have been knows to enjoy a good bit of rock, pop, 60's - dammit - I like most stuff!! I'll list some of my 'most listened to atm' THE FRATELLI'S Pendulum and Muse but also Fatboy Slim, System of a Down, Andy C, Kaiser Chiefs, Audio Bullys, Jeff Buckley, Queen, The Jam, Specials, SHY FX, Foos, RHCP, GLC, The Chemical Brothers, Graham Coxon, LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead, Prodigy, Damien Rice, Black Eyed Peas, Sigur Ros, The Specials, Blur, Roykopp, Zero 7, Pulp, Five (bad boys with the power to rock you!) and I have been known to divulge in a bit of Chas n Dave from time to time :-) Oh, and I once had an unhealthy obsession with Lostprophets...

Movies:

Moving on...... (I always fall asleep)

Television:

TRASH!!!! As much of it as I can watch - gimme 24 hours trash!! Well, maybe 21 hours with 1 hour of news, 1 hour of unusual sports such as darts, bowls, snooker and 1 hour of serious stuff to help my brain grow!)

Books:

I'm reading my way through some of the Ben Elton books at the mo...

Heroes:

People with dreams and aspirations
