My family, reading, history, music (mainly rock), taking pictures for a hobby, day dreaming and geneology. I love Victoriana, Gothic and Art Nouveau things. Bon Scott! Sarcasm and mimicry for fun. Seeing the irony in the ordinary things in life. I like to be interested per se, or there's no meaning to life. Being at odds with everyone else.
I'd like to meet:
No 'just another number' to add to their profile types of people please. I already have enough 'friends' who never message or comment and don't need any more! Anyone with a dry sense of humour. Others who can see the unintentional amusing things that happen in life. Anyone who has something interesting to say. People who are being their true self. Anyone who has READ my profile and still wants to click 'add to friends'! I like talking to people from all over not just UK people...
~Please leave a message if you feel brave:)

Music:
I have always been a MUSIC FAN, not a person to buy a Bon Jovi single and call themself a rocker. I still like the old bands like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Bon Scott era AC/DC and Diamond Head (O.K that's NWOBHM)etc. I like all sorts though also newer stuff, too much to list in one small table and I don't want to pigeon hole myself into any category in any interest I have, as I said before, I like what I like. Not as 'serious' about it as I used to be, it used to be 'serious'! I enjoy good music. I am nowerdays just an armchair fan and don't go to concerts anymore:( I don't like 'disposable music'..what's..the..point?

Movies:
A few of my favourite films are Withnail and I, The Others, Young Frankestein ,The Wicker Man, Billy Liar, and the Monty Python films. I love the old Hammer horror films, they're so bad they're good. Also anything with Bill Nighy in. I like a variety of genres of film, but don't like 'ultra violent' American action films or romantic 'comedies', diverse you know? I like films that make me think, especially those that disturb my dreams.
Television:
When the music's over...
TV at the moment is not up to much all those channels and nothing on them. I could live without it.
Books:
I'll try anything really! I do enjoy the classics, Bronte's, Dickens, Hardy etc, but I also enjoy a wide variety of authors, but don't enjoy pretentious work. One of my favourite books is 'The turn of the screw' by Henry James, creepy, scary, wonderful!I enjoyed reading, amongst others, following so far this year - The Crimson Petal and the white by Michel Faber ( a bit x-rated but good), Inheritance by Dr Phyllis Bentley, The Various Haunts Of Men by Susan Hill and the Woman in Black also by Susan Hill - a great ghost story. 'The Shadow of the wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafon is worth a read, it was going through my mind for a couple of weeks after I'd finished it, that book makes you want to go to Barcelona. 'The Historian' by Elizabeth Kostova - I can recommend it as a GREAT vampire book. The brass & the velvet by Christabel Burniston is a good read (set in turn of the century Bradford) and was amazingly written by a 92 year old! Simon Beckett's Chemistry of Death - is a quick but great read.Books provide essential escapism into the realms of fantasy.
Heroes:
The bad boys of rock like Bon Scott fascinated me in my teens (but I would have run away if I had met any of them).~Blank~~A last look back~~Didn't feel like going into the dungeon~~January sky~
