It's me!!!

About Me

Well, well, well. First of all hello there, top of the mornin to yah (I'm not Irish just like the phrase)! I have to say what a bizarre section, because how exactly is a person supposed to see a heading like "About Me" and think ah, I know exactly what to put. I mean, what a vague title? I quite honestly don't know what to write, so have simply decided to leave it as this:Why don't you decide what you think about me for yourselves, because I don't really think I should try and manipulate you into thinking something about me that may or may not be true.

My Interests

I'm interested in ......... - people - being happy - films - drama - science - music - reading - dancing and generally living life to the full. There's so many things that fasinate me in this world that my brain wouldn't be able to cope with thinking of every last interest of mine and then writing it down. So I won't.

I'd like to meet:

One of my motos in life is the more the merrier, so anyone and everyone really. Doesn't mean I'll like everyone I meet, but hey, in my opinion you've gotta give everyone a chance.

Music:

Okay here it goes, I'm gonna think of loads of different music that I enjoy listening to:Artists - Henry Mancini - Nelson Riddle - Carol King - Danny Elfman - Astrud Gilberto - Judy Garland - Bill Withers - Frank Sinatra - Marvin Gaye - Stevie Wonder - Gene Kelly - Fred Estaire - Kanye West - Nat King Cole - Johnny Cash - Dusty Springfield - Nina Simone - Alanis Morissette - Michael Jackson - Jack Johnson - Zero 7 - Sheryl Crow - Eartha Kitt - Tracy ChapmanTypes of music: - Classical - Jazz - Easy listening - Soul - RnB - Hiphop - Electronic - Motown - Movie soundtracks - MusicalsFinally, favourite songs are: - I'm not in love (10CC) - Playground love and Highschool lover (Air) - The end of the world (Skeeter Davis) - Midnight at the oasis (Maria Mulduar) - Girl from Ipanema (Astrud Gilberto) - Breakfast at Tiffany's and Moon river (Henry Mancini)

Movies:

Favourite film of all time is The Wizard of Oz. It is the most magical film you will ever see (to me anyway). I actually have a collection of movie memorabilia from it, I love it that much. .. width="425" height="350" .. My other favourite films are (and I find it extremely hard to rank these: Lolita (1962 black and white version - unforgettable)

The Virgin Suicides (a depressing and yet haunting movie. Tragically beautiful. I can't really explain it, you have to see it for yourself.) .. Breakfast at Tiffany's (a classic in so many ways, Audrey Hepburn at her best and a must see)

Ghostworld (I'm not sure why, but I can really relate to Enid at times in this film)

Singing in the Rain (what I would give to have the part of Debbie Reynolds in that film!)

Meet me in St Louis (watch it at Christmas curled up on the sofa with a mug of cocoa - the perfect treat) .. ..

Television:

I was a slave to Big Brother so thank god it's over! (Btw was this not the most hilarious moment EVER out of all the bb's!) Been a Coronation Street fan since the tender age of three, so it'll always have a place in my heart!I'm Alan Partridge - one of if not the funniest show on TV. Needless to say, I had the last laugh.

I like some American shows when they're in season, such as the OC, Desperate Housewives etc.

Books:

I love to read, and I would highly recommend Wicked by Gregory Mcguire. Read it before you see the show!

I really like the books Lolita, The Virgin Suicides, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Riding in Cars with Boys.

Absolutely loved 1984 and The Catcher in the Rye.

Heroes:

I don't even know if I'd want to put the burden of being a hero on someone. Honestly, I don't have one, as I just aspire to be my own person.
