Jolly

--Jolly by name, jolly by nature; that's what people say - I am usually smiling! I was brought up in Cheshire but now live near Glasgow where, I was actually born & stayed for a few days before going to England. So I am actually Scottish..even though I do not have a very Scottish accent..actually...it's not a very "anything" accent...it's a bit weird! Tam & Winston from Still Game confirmed that with me one Monday afternoon as I served them in work!I follow a spiritual path & work very closely with an amazing teacher called Shantidharma Ma. However, in August of this year I am going to a teaching from Padma Maitreya in London..so my teacher may change over the next few months! Shantidharma Ma is by far the most inspirational person I have ever had the privilege to not just meet, but to spend time with & work with! Life could be upside down & she could guide me to make sense of it! I am blessed to have her in my life. I do meditation for body, mind & spirit. I do Yoga for body, breath, and mind & to enhance my spiritual practice. Controlling & contorting the body greatly fascinates me – a fascination which began when I was a little girl doing gymnastics. I am a definite moon child. Born under a new moon & it is also my ruling planet. I closely follow the lunar cycle; plays a big part in my life & an important part of my spiritual practice.I have a very tall & fantastic son called Luke - he really is one amazing human being; I am truly blessed to have him in my life; a true gift from God!I adore snakes – I keep a Royal Python called Byron. Although I have a deep connection with & a strong fascination for snakes & have kept them for most of my life, Byron will be the last one I keep – snakes belong in their own natural environment.I like cows’ knees - if I owned a pub, I would call it "The Cow's Knee's" ..the Bees Knees are cool, but nothing matches The Cow's Knees! Wicked! To be honest I am rather fond of cows in general...maybe that's why I was never too keen on eating them!!! Sheep & pigs are rather nice also! I don't eat them either!Although I should avoid attachment, I am rather attached to a small black & white panda called... Panny! He is rather battered & has no eyes left, but I sooo love him!I am aware of global warming & try to be as environmentally friendly as possibleI was vegan, then vegetarian, but now I sometimes eat fish (oily ones, others are rank) I also own some leather boots! I am big on comedy – Eddie Izzard does it for me, and not just by making me laugh! ;-) George Formby made me smile at a sad time back in Cheshire when I was just 19. He will always have a place on my IPod, in my DVD collection & in my heart! Auntie Maggies's Remedy is both my ringtone & alarm signal! :-) I was very inspired by The Smiths from about the age of 13 - definitely why I became so involved in music.Music has been both my work & my hobby for as long as I can remember. Covered retail (Virgin, Tower, HMV), band management (Trent), Tour Management (GEMS), live promotions (Cheshire Cat), A&R (Gut Records), DJ (Cathouse), record label (Judas Salvatore) etc. etc. I’ve touched on pretty much every area. Took a break from music – I worked with an airline as cabin crew – very different from music – not really me!! Went back to music - went to University & in 2007 I graduated with a BA in Commercial Music. I am still totally passionate about music & am still involved in various music projects. However, sometimes it seems that me being female, "complicates matters"!! I do find it a bit tedious, and I don't really want to deal with this any longer! So, I decided to take yet another direction in my life! I recently finsihed a course at college in Holistic Therapies; this will also assist me to continue down my own path. Pefect Livelihood is an important part of the Noble Eightfold Path, so this is very important to me. I feel blessed to be able to move in the direction I choose to.I have been in love, it was amazing; it also hurt! I’d do it again though, but only if I find the person I truly connect with! I am not interested in anything less than that! I only see that as a positive energy within me. I am good being single; so don’t read I’m single and pity me & please don’t ask me out! I am only here on MySpace for the MUSIC, my friends & to network! I am single, that’s the way I want it until I make that connection which I will do in the REAL world not cyber world! I'll know when the time comes! Call me old fashioned if you like...I don’t give.......Some accents make me smile & some make me go weak at the knees. Smile: Geordie, Brummie, Manc, Scouse, Yorkshire, Northern Irish, Glaswegian, George Formby! Weak: (male) Welsh, Southern Irish, Morrissey, Alex Turner & Jon McClureI pick up on all accents, which is another reason why mine is so bizarre!The pro photos came about with Alan Cox Photography through managing the band, long story so don’t ask! If you don’t like them, it's easy; don’t look!Please do not just randomly friend request me - at least message me first & say hi.
