Enigmas are made to be solved. I dare you to solve me.My family and my friends are the most important things in my life. I'm a little Brit girl, with a big heart and even bigger dreams. Every day is a new race to chase them.For J.K. and L.D. Always.
Movies - especially art house ones, none of Mr Bruckheimer here! Writing in all forms, mostly poetic and fan fiction;Art in all forms - right from Monet to Miro and all in between; American TV, very rarely British stuff; Music, see below for the killer list! Making graphic/digital art - All hail Photoshop!
Anyone who has a creative edge or is into music, writing and art in any way shape or form. Most importantly, people who know how to express love and care in a very unjust world.Be aware, and show that you care.View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
