Once upon a time there was a girl who couldn't say no to a good gig...ok, yeah, so I made that story

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorI like to think of myself as a pretty easy going person. I always have a lot going on in my life and selfishly fit in more of what I shouldn't than should. I love almost anything to do with music, I go out and see live bands and artists every week, sometimes a few nights a week, which is where the selfish 'me' kicks in. I spend a lot of time and money on my musical interests, whether that be buying cd's, seeing bands, listening to music or attempting to play some myself. I'm getting back into photography again after leaving it for so long, but I think I'm gaining skill at it again. These photos were taken at the Chill Island Music Festival on Churchill Island off Phillip Island on 27th of Jan 07'.

My Interests

MUSIC! And anything music related: I like playing Keys, I go to a lot of gigs, that's basically all I have time for, but when I have spare 'spare time' I love going to the beach, cooking, I sometimes get crafty and make band tees. I really enjoy driving(though not so much other drivers)and like going to new places and doing new things. At the moment I am also trying to teach myself Latin-dont you dare ask how that's going!(basically its not) I love love love the beach and live and work right near it, it's my most tempting distraction, the ocean is one of those things that holds endless facination for me....These pics were taken over the long weekend in March 07' at Golden Plains Festival at Meredith...These pics are from St Jerome's Laneway...Feb 07'...

I'd like to meet:

People of interesting nature...I don't want to exclude anyone...would have been nice to meet Nick Drake...not going to happen...but anyone who likes the same sort of music or good things in life and is passionate about what they love is more than welcome.

Music:

These pics are from St Kilda Festival Feb 07'...Where do I start...??? In no order of greatness; Gomez, Nick Drake, The Shins, Custom Kings, The Great Lake Swimmers, David Gray, Augie March, The Fumes, Snow Patrol, Mountains In The Sky, Qua, Pivot!, Youth Group, Iron and Wine, Devendra Banhart, Bob Dylan, Sufjan Stevens, Epicure, Tapes N Tapes, The Zutons, Jack Johnson, Sarah Blasko, Donavon Frakenreiter, Matt Costa, The Triffids, The Beautiful Girls, G Love, The Broken Keys, Belle & Sebastian, The Postal Service, Cowboy Junkies, Holly Throsby, Bright Eyes, The Eels, The Mess Hall, The Thrills, Santana, Van Morrison, Ash, Xavier Rudd, Jose Gonzalez, Damien Rice, Shout Out Louds, Kings of Leon, The Kooks, Ben Harper, Modest Mouse, Muse, Lenard Cohen, The Black Keys, Emiliana Torrini, Jen Cloher, Mars Volta, The New Pornographers, The Strokes,The Smiths, Beth Orton, Wilco, The Silents, The Vasco Era, The Razor Cartel, The Inches,The Exploders, Dirty Three, Angus and Julia Stone, The Cheats,...this is the condensed version, there are so many more! We should all get behind our local artists and mates and support them...what's life without music?!

Movies:

I was majoring in Visual Culture at school, Film Studdies, so I would be hard pressed to pick a fave. I'll give you a few- Garden State, Elizabethtown, Fight Club, Donnie Darko, The Upside Of Anger, Solaris(the Clooney version of course), The Virgin Suicides, Little Women (shut up i love it) Empire Records, The Door in the Floor, Life as a House, The Notebook, Saved!, The Hours, 84 Charing Cross Road, 25th hour, 21 Grams, and I just got addicted to Mean Creek, Shopgirl, and The Squid and the Whale. The last film I saw was Little Miss Sunshine and I thought it was brilliant!

Television:

I don't really watch that much tv anymore, just on dvd box sets, but I guess I like all the might only last 2 season US dramas... funny ones like Gilmore Girls, weird like X-files and Supernatural, I like Spicks&Specks as well as Rockwiz for a bit of a test and a laugh. Rage and Jtv are a given in the early AM post gig. I've recently discovered Weeds and have actually gone to lengths to watch it!

Books:

My minor at uni was English so this is also hard to narrow down, and I don;t read as much I would like to, there are just not enough hours in the day or night. The first book I ever read was a Little Golden Book called 'Rags'. It was about some huge fluffy dog, what it had to do with rags I cannot remember now, I was 4 years old ok? Now I read like I need oxygen to live. Top 100 best sellers, classics like the Bronte sisters, weird stuff like Thoreau about transcendentalism(basically a dude who is sick of 'the man' who goes out into the woods near a lake for 2 or so years then packs it in, goes home and dies of typhoid), The Catcher in the Rye (Holden is a very strange yet interesting boy), Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar (now why would she go and put her head in an oven???), the autobiography by Jewel poems and all, Hunter S.Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (soOoO many things i did not need to know about drugs, but now do and will retain for better or worse), Kathy Reich's forensic anthropological thrillers (again things i didnt need to know about, but hey dead poeple, murder, 'soup'-which is decomposing body guts basically-and a cat named birdie), Sir Bob Geldofs bio(an interesting one, long before this whole world famine thingo), and every single book written by Diana Gabaldon (It's so hard to decide between Jamie and Roger!)...what I'm trying to convey here is gimme a book any book I'll give it a go. Right now I am reading bits and pieces of rubbish,so let me know of a good one you think I should try!

Heroes:

My mum, for everything we already are, and are about to go through. Strongest woman I will ever know and love.
