About Me

'And they blessed Rebecca and said: Let thy seed possess the gates of those who hate thee.'
Cymraes
OI! DON'T ADD ME WITHOUT WRITING FIRST.
Bands: I am not adding any more to this page as I'm trying to keep it to friends/ friends bands only. Please add my band and/ or my DJ page instead!
If you like people who aren't very good at spelling and who have wonkey teath, you might like me.
I have a baby, whose name is Science.
I also DJ, like every other muso in London town. All vinyl, mind. For an idea of what I play visit here.
I was named after rioting transvestite Welsh farmers.
I like dancing and dressing up.
I love my friends as they all have a certain genius and beauty.
(My 'top friends' section changes order and content periodically, not necessarily due to who's in favour, but who fits aesthetically at the time...)
There are no bands, apart from my own of course, in my top friends as all of my mates bands are down the left hand side in the 'music' section. Go see!
I have aprox. 389 brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles, not all of whom I have met, so if you think we might be related drop me message.
I exist soley on cups of tea, until 6pm when I switch suddenly to chips and alcopops.
My worst nightmare would be being made to eat hamburgers whilst listening to happy hardcore.
Some pics of me doing gigs
Some flyers 'n' things...

My Interests



..
http://www.myheritage.comYes!! I look like The Tweedy AND Zoe Lucker!!

Music, talking (some may say ranting), sitars in rock, procrastinating, burning candles at both ends, self- mythologising, books, jazz flute, descending arpeggios, afternoon delight, magazines, maction, the television, cyber-stalking, films, eating, my friends, (not eating my friends, note) LFC, languages.

ALSO:

Courtesy of the north Wales police, bless em:

I'd like to meet:

Philanthropists and benefactors.

People with big hair and big noses.

People with horses.

And people who can listen to entire Van Der Graaf Generator albums.

Mens: Owen Wilson (please), Jason Lee (the one off My Name Is Earl), Louis Theroux, David Tennant, Julian Rhind-Tutt: If you're reading this I am the girl who grinned at you like a mad woman at Farringdon station a while back. I wanted to say hi but was meeting friends. Next time, you make the first move. I still think you're cute, even though those adverts are tres annoying. Dylan Moran, Jonathan Safran Foer and Jon Ronson. Why do these men have wives when they haven't met me yet? Surely they can't make an informed decision. And The Goblin King.

Ladies: Patti Smith, Marianne Faithfull, Xena: Warrior Princess. I have met Marianne and Patti briefly (not at the same time, that really would have been too much!) but I was a bit too terrified to speak properly. Bit like when I met Madonna. For real!

Due to the nature of this website, this is turning more into Those I Do Not Wish To Meet. Here goes...
DON'T ADD ME WITHOUT WRITING FIRST. JUST DON'T. I WILL IGNORE YOU SO YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR TIME.

Also, I am hesitant to add guys who only have women on their profiles. It's fairly obvious why, isn't it?

I don't IM/ MSN people I don't know either

I am not here to meet my future husband

Science is a whore though, and will add anyone.

I have a veritable rock library. You should see it sometime.
I also really dig Alan Garner and Roald Dahl.
The Distaff Muse, an anthology of poetry written by women, that was published in 1949, is my favourite book of poetry. Everyone should have one.
