About Me

Wants
Beyond all this, the wish to be alone:
However the sky grows dark with invitation-cards
However we follow the printed directions of sex
However the family is photographed under the flag-staff -
Beyond all this, the wish to be alone.
Beneath it all, the desire for oblivion runs:
Despite the artful tensions of the calendar,
The life insurance, the tabled fertility rites,
The costly aversion of the eyes away from death -
Beneath it all, the desire for oblivion runs.
Philip Larkin
gosh... well... that was a bit dark wasn't it. sorry about that...
i don't always think a desire for oblivion lies beneath it all....only sometimes... other times i am generally ecstatically happy and distract myself from the harsher blows of life with activities such as painting pictures, stroking kittens, singing in the rain, and having picnics on the beach.
All you need is love. not so much to be loved as to love. only love can break your heart, but it lifts us up where we belong. love is the drug. it's true.

My Interests

THIS the best in the world and reminds me of espania - At the moment- saying "LOVERLY" (and other words du jour)far too often, to a possibly annoying amount. listening to Hancock's half hour, Kenneth connor and Sid james in "ooh what a carve up!" cor BLIMEY not 'alf arthur. 60's silent slapstick smash "Simon, simon" (whaddya mean you've never heard of it??) and "Bulldog jack" films from the 30's. Lovely. And old kung-fu Vampire films like "Mr. Vampire". Oh and Roxy music's "More than this" it's a larf innit.isn't it? o. Other than that, well i am looking forward to sitting on the beach in nothing but me pants,reading books, licking lollies, getting melted lollies on my books. etc

I'd like to meet:

Music:

instruments that sound like voices, voices that sound like instruments...

Movies:

Television:

Books:

I can't believe my "baby" will be eight years old tomorrow. Eight years ago might as well be 100 years ago and yet it feels such a short time. 8 years is not a very long time and yet it is a lifetime....
