About Me


Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace
I live in Brighton - I was also born here - I am told that is rare. I generally stay up late and am confused in the morning. I'm in a band just like most people round here - if you wanna hear one of our songs click on my friend 'Spring Heeled Jim' below. The song playing right now is one I wrote last summer with a couple of friends in my wannabe rock chick phase! I have a handful of best mates but they're scattered across the globe so sometimes I am lonely. I drink too much wine and I sometimes forget things. I love people and if I really like you I will most likely give you a hug and buy you some chocolate! I am surprised that I am 27 already when it doesn't seem that long ago I thought I would never be 18. The best years of my life so far were at university but I fast believe the best things in life are being around people you love, eating food, drinking wine, having a laugh particularly whilst listeneing to really loud music and singing and dancing like an idiot! In an ideal world I would have enough money to have a big kitchen and a big wooden table and lots of dinner partys. I am reknown for my culinary skills and make the best roast chicken ever!
