About Me

does this really matter? Take the time to get to know me and make your own judgement. What you perceive will be different from anything I can say about myself.

My Interests

sorting shit out, being caught in heavy rain in summer and getting soaking wet, walking through the woods in autumn, making snow angels in winter, walking on the beach on spring, I love being on tour with my band, photography, writing letters and receiving them, making stuff like clothes, shoes and sculptures, meeting interesting and inspirational people, I love hitching a ride on other people's tours, I like it when I randomly smile at someone in the street and they smile back, I like doing nice things for people but sometimes I try too hard and stick my nose in where it's not wanted, sometimes I care too much, I like hearing a piece of music that makes me stop in my tracks and listen, I like watching films which afterwards make me feel like I have been reborn into a new life, I need cheering up with a cuddle sometimes but mostly I am very happy indeed, I like having fun, I like paddling in the ocean, I love looking up at the sky on a clear night and wishing on shooting stars, if I could I would skate every day in princess street gardens winter wonderland ice rink just like catcher in the rye, I love playing my saxaphone, I love listening to jamie make great music, I love listening to the ocean and wondering what it would be like to fly like a bird, I love hearing my mum sing in her beautiful voice, I like reading new books, fanzines and realising that the world is so huge yet it is so small at the same time, I love hearing my dad be so enthusiastic about a new musician he just heard coming back from work on radio 2, I also love all the toys my dad hides in the garden bewteen the shrubs and the trees, the two headed monster has been in the tree for years but the pick up trucks cargo of snail shells has long since been eaten...
