Just dumb enough to try to control a malicious idiot

About Me

I am training to be a Keeper of Books and enjoy my life for the most part.Before I am 40, I would like to do the following: own my own place, live abroad (Canada or US preferably) for at least 6 months, obtain a Masters in Information Studies, own 2 cats, see Tom Waits in concert, buy and learn to play the drums, produce a reasonable output of creative work, complete a degree in Native American Studies, realise what's really important in my life, see an ice-hockey game, read all of Graham Greene's books, watch the last episode of Friends (not because I'm a big fan...just because).....Post 40 - own a cat and dog shelter, grow my own veg, deliver meals on wheels to the local geriatrics, renovate a property.....

My Interests

I like going to gigs, big cats and little ones too, big dogs but not little ones....they're silly, modern architecture, printmaking and art in general, drinking in ye olde pubs, holidays to faraway lands, record shopping, going to the flicks, eating raw jelly, jumping in puddles, hoping that one day I will meet someone who will finance my decadent lifestyle!
