About Me

Art school graduate, UEA dropout (swings and roundabouts mate...) and arty type in a non art-fag way. If you're lucky/unlucky* I may sing for you in a Julie London style**. Am found hanging out in and around norwich mainly listening to the beautiful music that this fine city has to offer. Am a friendly and chilled out sort of girl, looking for a place I can call home and my own path. When I find these things I'll let you know. I can get excitable about many things, mainly stupid stuff like fancy dress and kawaii manga, but have been known to be deep and introspective on occasion. And I know lots of big words, so there.*You decide.**Depending on how excitable/drunk/or generally up for it I am.Some of my paintings, sketches and digital images...

My Interests

being creative painting singing loudly when I'm alone in the house glamming up (tho not in a Marc Bolan way, although he was a very pretty young man) manga and anime fey boys and androgenous girls talking in silly accents making spelling mistakes shoe-shopping fancy dress animal and human rights issues vegan recipes chilling out with my mates tea homemade coronation vegan-chicken sandwiches cooking chocolate (in moderation) splanging up being outside when the sun is shining watching 80's films listening to 80's music (a guilty pleasure) snow travelling being a hippy trapped in a city girls body

I'd like to meet:

People with a shared love of cats, music (any and all music...sound is good) and art. Ahh...i'm so gonna be a crazy old lady with lots of cats when i get older...bugger. Actual people? hmm, Sheena Easton so i can ask "Why?"....?

Music:

all sorts of stuff really although i do have a special love for japanese punk bands and all the usual Japanoise stuff. apart from that my tastes vary really...i love alot of stuff that my parents played when i was a kid and stuff that has drifted into my stereo thru the years. a list of fave music sorta:

allman brothers band aphex twin bearsuit bjork black flag boredoms cassette boy daft punk (somebody's gotta love 'em) daviiiid bowiiiie dolly parton doves elo (yep, I did type elo as in Mr Blue Sky etc.) erol arkin felix da housecat genbaku onanies giant robot and the city of tokyo goldfrapp guided by voices guitar wolf heavy vegetable ian dury and the blockheads jeff buckley johnny cash julie london kate bush ladytron lalia lali puna lynard skynard martha wainwright master solo mikabomb momus pinback pink floyd polysics prodigy the rebeccas roxy music the shortwave set soulwax/2manydjs squarepusher sukoshi they might be giants terry reid t-rex yello and many more...

Movies:

BLADERUNNER!!! Love this film so much! I dare anyone who hasn't seen it and thinks it's probably some sci-fi bollocks to go watch it now. It's a fucking awesome neo-noir cinema masterpiece with amazing visuals (made in a time when CGI wasn't around to make stuff look plastic) and a beautiful soundtrack. It's frigging as old as I am but it kicks the shit out of most stuff I see nowadays. I'm done, now read on.. The Devil's Rejects (tootie-fucking-frutti!) The Red Shoes The Last Unicorn (watched it every day as a kid) Spirited Away Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Princess Mononoke Series 7: the Contenders most Kevin Smith films La Belle et La Bete Requiem for a Dream Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Ring (Japanese version, none of that remake tripe) Lost in Translation Brain Dead The Royal Tenenbaums all of Tim Burton's films Buckaroo Banzai (ace 80's nonsense with the brilliance that is John Lithgow) 80's films generally Akira anything manga related Starship Troopers (guilty pleasure time) Audition Fight Club anything with Dolly Parton in it (:

Heroes:

Dolly Parton and Dita von Teese.
