About Me

I'm 29, english-italian, brough up in wales, went to uni in bath, work for tesco, need to spend less time playing on myspace and more time getting a life! but i guess this will do for now...
As for my friends on myspace, well they are all real friends that i really know and really like! My top 8 are:
No.1: My lovely crazy little sister Giulietta who is not very much like me at all except that we are related... but she thinks she's the milkman's and I may well agree!
No.2: My flatmate Emma who I've lived with for over 2 years in our lovely girlie pad in Hertford! She's not really into the whole myspace thing but I made her a page anyway!
No.3: Caroline, my former uni housemate and one of my best friends in the whole wide world who has finally come over to the light side and joined myspace... hooray!
No.4: Liza my Ayia Napa and Barcelona party pal... what goes on tour stays on tour and all that, especially when it involves buddha bars, irish boys and being kicked out of swimming pools at 3am!
No.5: Matt & Caroline's breakfast show on KissFM! Caroline aka Blondie is one of my bestest gal pals in the world and I was her friend BEFORE she got famous!
No.6: The gorgeous Mr George, my uni pal and the one man in the world who can make me laugh until I hurt (in a good way!), especially when he does billy the fish!
No.7: Lyndsey my regular pull in uni and always willing to help me win the pulling points competitions I had with the girls in Babylon... but then he got a girlfriend and we weren't allowed to play anymore :-(
No.8: Chess who I sat next to in primary school and fancied when I was about 8 but he only wanted me for my felt tips! He proposed once in the apollo though if that counts?!
No.9-12 my school girlie pals Emma, Amy, Evonne & Jemma
and last but not least....
No.13-20 some of the lovely staff from Tesco in Hatfield and Colchester who kept me sane/alive/entertained whilst I was working there (well, apart from sweeno who I spent most of my time telling off haha! but he's alright really i spose!)
To be honest most of my crew think I am a complete loser for having a myspace page at my age (i'm not 30 yet though!) but hey it's meant i've been able to get back in touch with loadsa people i've lost touch with over the years which is a good enough reason to have one for me!

Why I love Italian Cars

So right here, right now, the only thing I love about Italian cars is that they look nice and not many people have got them. Today I started to realise why no-one other than myself and my family enter...

For those of you who know me well, you'll know that every year since I was about 5 I've given up all indulgences for Lent in the hope that one day I may go to Heaven for being a good person.  So ...
