My Interests

I feel a strange attraction towards Stanley Tucci and Jack Dee...I can't really explain why.I enjoy talking to people and divulging useful and interesting scientific facts like why people yawn and burp and how to deal with blocked ear syndrome inside of planes.Unfortunately however, my hearing is somewhat selective and I often mis-hear conversations, particularly with Invernesians and folk from Giffnock. But it can happen to anyone with whom I am conversing with. I apologise in advance.

I'd like to meet:

Good people...like BEAR GRYLLS, because he was absolutely lovely and ever so polite...and the dudes from Innocent smoothies, Howard Moon, Gillian Welch and Bill 'Bilbo' Bailey...hmm

Thrash Metal makes my eyeballs bleed.I have fond likingness of classic eighties pop.I grew up with 90's Indie and playing snap' at the back of the Maths class with Jin listening to Blur and Menswear.When I was 14 I wanted to marry Noel Gallagher.The first gig I ever went to was in Charing Cross to see Stained.Sometimes I admit to liking 'emo' toons...I am going through an eternal Jimmy Eat World phase.T-Rex's 20th Century Boy...one of my favourites.I like Quentin Tarantino's choice in music. It's akin to a "lime in the coconut".Motown makes me happy. I dig Cuban vibes.I try not to advertise my love of Russian composers...in case people think I am soft in the head. I am also very partial to Marches ('Radetsky' being my all time bestest.)The first gig I went to in Glasgow was Nickelback. Then Kosheen a week later.The best gig was The Strokes at Braehead Arena dancing like a tit beside Sara S and Tony on the right balcony just above the puking people with my 'hommies'...Colin and Yuki had to drag me home by my legs :SI broke my glasses and nearly got mauled in a mosh pit right in front of QOTSA.I nearly died when I went to see Beastie Boys at the SECC, partly from joy, partly from being squished by HUGE heffers and partly from watching Craig being molested by a very large blond bloke with a blue hoody...I still remember it well... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..I first saw the Killers when they were a support act for Stellarstarr. Oops.The Datsuns were HIGH VOLTAGE and Sara S and I got dizzy from the jumping...we always get dizzy from the jumping...Amy and I had the best ever time in the student union with The Rakes, even though we were sitting down due to the heavy weight of many a beers upon our laps. Gratuitiously so.Jose Gonzalez makes a lot of noise with just two hands.The last gig I went to was the Brian Jonestown Massacre, they were smooth.
