Life moves pretty fast. If you don..t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it Matthe

About Me

I..m a fun-loving, very easy going and laid back kind of girl. I don..t take anything in life too seriously. Life is way too short for that! I have a very "go with the flow" personality. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and that if you do wrong it will come back to you somehow. The universe will sort you out, basically. Karma is a bitch! And, even though I enjoy a good party now and then, being the life of the party at times, what I enjoy most is spending quiet time by myself to reflect. Nothing better that curling up with a good book on a rainy day...feeds the soul. I love my own company, and I..m very comfortable in my own skin. I enjoy music, art, socialising and most of all I..m deeply passoinate about films! I seriously believe that I missed my true calling as a film critic.. But, you never know! Might just still happen for me someday...! Fingers crossed... But, to some up, I..d have to say I..m deeply compassionte, loving, caring and consider myself to be a very good friend. Get to know me, and you won..t be sorry!

Music:

I literally love all music. I might not neccesarily buy the cd and listen to it, but I believe all music should be appreciated and respected for what it is. My collection of cd..s is huge, and may it never stop growing! I love Jewel, Sarah Mclaghlan, Alanis Morrisette, Maroon 5, Sting, Billie Holiday, James Blunt, Karen Zoid, Tori Amos, Lize Beekman, Jan Blohm, Fokofpolisiekar, Valiant Swart, Dido, Sheryl Crow, Chris Chameleon, Elvis Prestley, The Doors, The Beatles, Dorp, Arno Carstens...etc. Music, the soundtrack to our lives...!

Movies:

See, now this question is usually the hardest one for me to answer. Asking a film fanatic to name his favorite movie? It..s like asking a mother which one of her children she likes best! It..s just wrong... But, if I would have to pick..FAVORITE COMEDY - 10 Things I hate about you, Ace Ventura, Austin Powers, Billy Madison, Bubble Boy, Happy Gilmore, Wedding Singer, Mallrats, Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball, Oscar, There..s something about Mary, The truth about cats and dogs etc.LEGENDARY - American Beauty, Baz Luhrman..s Romeo+Juliet, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuller..s Day Off, Empire Records, Heathers, Howard Stern..s Private Parts, Almost Famous, The Shawshank Redemption, Cruel Intentions etc.

My favorite sitcom of all time is Friends! But growing up, I was totally obsessed with My so-called life! Recently, I..ve been watching Grey..s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Nip/Tuck, Weeds, Seinfeld, Sex And The City, How I Met Your Mother, My Name Is Earl, The War At Home, Girls Of The Playboy Mansion, House, Talk Soup, Saturday Night Live ect..
You Are Amy Lee!
Gothy, expressive, woman-in-pain
Who looks damn good in a corset
"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears" Who's Your Inner Rock Chick?

Books:

My favorite book of all time is "Dinge Van ..n Kind - Marita Van Der Vyver". I try to read it once a year! I also recently enjoyed "Dis Ek, Anna - Elbe Lotter". Sidney Sheldon is another favorite, especially "Master Of The Game". And pretty much anything by Helen Fielding!
You are Bettie Page
