About Me

There's an L in my name

My Interests

acting (theatre & screen), music (piano, violin & regular singing in the shower), reading, daydreaming, love a good pint and a chat, or a coffee and a chat, or even just a chat....

I'd like to meet:

All the other Donnlas...maybe we could form a small army...

Music:

Oh God where to start....interpol, kings of leon, arcade fire, jeff buckley, tori amos, clap your hands say yeah, radiohead, bloc party, michael jackson, christy moore, rachmanninoff, mozart, handel, beethoven, bob marley, duran duran, neil young, paddy casey, declan o' rourke, led zeppelin, nick cave, air...to name a few. Also The Cheerfuls and The Gorgeous Colours rock my world.

Movies:

Can never think of these on the spot but ones that come to mind are... eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, the wind that shakes the barley, billy elliot, sister act (don't judge), intermission, waynes world, shaun of the dead, amelie, goodbye lenin, gotta love lord of the rings trilogy, alladin...that'll do for now

Television:

family guy, spaced, west wing, father ted, the office, extras, shameless....as long as it's not reality tv -it makes me angry, very angry

Books:

I think the fact I read about a million Nancy Drews as a child may have played a major role in my personality development so gotta mention her. Others that come to mind are imperium, the life of pi, the curious incident of the dog in the nightime, tuesdays with morrie, anything by shakespeare, anything by martin mc donagh, uncle vanya...I don't know do plays even count?
