I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm an Aussie who loves her music, movies and friends. I'm here for a good time not a long time, I had a ball partying with lively drunk European metalheads at Wacken Open Air 2007! I felt right at home! Depending on the finances, I intend to return to Europe in 2009.
I'm the type of person that what you see is what you get, no BS. I don't take anyone's s*** regardless of who they are, and I am kind to the people who deserve it. I'm fun to be around and a bit of a party girl - which sometimes leads to post-party blues!
I have lived in Sydney all my life, currently living with four others and a cat in a big house in Sydney's inner western suburbs. You'll probably find us in clubs, gigs and the occasional party.
In January 2007, I became "door bitch" at ROCK FEAST at the Lewisham Hotel on Thursday nights. My role with ROCK FEAST has now extended to helping Sean co-ordinating gigs, organising advertising and designing promotional flyers (but not at present as my own computer has died), managing ROCK FEAST's myspace page. This venture has led me to pursue a career in band and event management.
My involvement in the band nights doesn't pay the bills, and having said that my day job is a legal secretary. I do mainly temp work at the moment but I'll take on a permanent role at some point in 2008 when the right opportunity presents itself. I also intend on relocating to Melbourne in late 2008, for career progression and personal reasons.

My Interests

I live for live bands (I love my metal), goth clubs and the occasional night in. I love B C Rich Guitars, making my own outfits and other creative endeavours. In the past I've been a volunteer for the Under the Blue Moon Festival in Newtown, for a series of showcase gigs in September 2005. I also love collecting dolls, you'll find Bleeding Edge Goth dolls, Living Dead Dolls, porcelain dolls and Nightmare before Christmas action figures cluttering my bedroom! Not to mention hundreds upon hundreds of CDs, dress patterns, fancy clothing and the like!

I'd like to meet:

People with similar tastes in music etc to what I have - Goths, punks, metal fans, musically minded people!

Music:

I appreciate many genres of music but i predominantly listen to metal. I'm fussy with any music outside of metal so if you're a band, don't get surly if I deny your friend request (ie don't bombard me with your friend requests if I click "deny")!

The bands I like include Eyefear, Vanishing Point, Evergrey, Iron Maiden, Black Majesty, WASP, Destroyer 666... Wacken Open Air exposed me to some awesome European bands such as Moonsorrow, Suidakra, Drone, Mennen and Sonic Syndicate, and also other internationals such as Torture Squad and Cthonic.

Movies:

Favourite movies: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, From Dusk Till Dawn, Sleepy Hollow, Night of the Living Dead, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, The Butterfly Effect, Star Wars trilogy, Carrie, Full Metal Jacket, South Park: bigger, longer and uncut, Secretary, The Craft, SAW, School of Rock, Finding Nemo, Lilo & Stitch, Shrek & Shrek 2, Tank Girl...
favourite directors: Tim Burton, Stanley Kubrick, Peter Jackson, Paul Verehoven, James Cameron, Dario Argento, Peter Weir...
Favourite Australian movies: The Castle, Fat Pizza: the movie, Mad Max (aka the Road Warrior), Occasional Coarse Language, Picnic at Hanging Rock, and many others that I can't think of right now...

Television:

I don't watch much TV but when I can be bothered turning on the idiot box it's usually CSI or a movie I watch.

Books:

Stephen King, Wilbur Smith, Tom Clancy, Matthew Reilly, Paul Adam, Michael Creighton, Frank Herbert.

Heroes:

The bands I've met who are down-to-earth gentlemen/women.IF we're talking people I know, my family and friends.

Random rantings about women’s liberation

Once upon a time, women didn't have the same freedoms that they have today. There was a time when a man could sell his wife for six pounds and a Newfoundland dog. No, seriously. This is a true story.A...

Keeping up appearances

"Dress to impress" has been a catchcry for a couple of goth clubs in Sydney many, many years ago. "Wear it like you mean it" is the slogan for The Wild One in Newtown. There are situations where appea...

Judging books by their covers

You know the old saying - don't judge a book by its cover. While appearances can be a case of what you see is what you get, first impressions are not always correct.I remember when I met Doro at her i...
