About Me


Hi.

My name is Laura, and I am a gig slut.

You may recognise me from other such music-based social networking sites as iLike or last.fm . However, you may not.

PS I am shockingly bad at replying to messages at the moment. Don't be offended - it's not just you. :)

My Interests

Music. Food. Wine. Plants. Books. Films. Beer. Embroidery. Anger. Beads. Wire. Gigs. Cider. Paper. Puddles. Sunshine. Stationery. Wool.

I have a blog.

the careless gene

It's best taken in conjunction with my Tumblr.
