Hold on tight then, here we go!

About Me

I'm a happy go lucky kind of girl. Passionate about music, literature, film, art, good food and roller coasters.
I've recently developed an interest in gardening, not that I've grown anything yet.

I'm very proud of my boyfriend

My Interests

I love Indie/Alternative music, the seaside, roller coasters - particularly at Oakwood in Wales and Cedar Point in Ohio, USA. Japanese food, vegetables, Marmite, being vegetarian, spending time with friends and laughing. I also have a fascination with prehistoric monoliths.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people who like alternative music, good quality films, are not afraid of a book and enjoy good food.
Who I don't want to meet:
'Friend' collectors.
People who send friend requests without reading my profile.
Bands who send messages without a separate friend request (you'll be forgotten and I might miss out on something I like.)
People who say they're interested in dating me, particularly when it's quite obvious I'm completed devoted to my very loving boyfriend.
