About Me

I am...tall, a life-long a-ha fan, always looking for answers and finding more questions, unsafe, unsound, unwise to be around, looking for the whales, never quite sure how to react, just bumbling along, wishing I was lucky, not what I seem, hunting high and low, wishing I was shorter, an idealist, a pessimist, a loyal friend, watching the world go by, waiting for life to end, a child of the 80s, invincible, in pain all the time, missing the sea, looking back, never looking forward, wishing I could sing, fake blonde, on a blind date with destiny, desperate to run a marathon, procrastinating about buying roller skates, slightly tipsy right now, too fat?, bursting with ideas for the first time in a long time, still driving my first car, an open book?, sleepy always, secretly wishing I could be a Bond girl who survives, lucky to have what I have, living for today, avoiding planning the future, scared of MRI scanners and helicopters, happy to go to the dentist, cold, watching the birds, myopic, funny, what I am, worryingly obsessed with Daniel Craig.I used to be... confused now I just don't know, a chemist, a violinist, afraid of my own shadow, afraid to walk into a room, an over-achiever, an introvert, a rock now I'm an island, bullied, another person, a bookworm, in pieces, an empty void.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow Random travels with a-ha and The Front Rowa-ha Ireland fan party November 2006 - another Front Row meet-up with the band...
