About Me

Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
Well hello!IF - you have acerbic wit, a mature wine cellar and a love of all things alternative, musically speaking; coupled with the ability to form structured sentences whilst sounding vaguely intelligent, do say hello.I am: capricious (on occasion) and scathing (mostly) - but also nice - really.I love: music; art; thinking outside the box; chivalry - think it's something to do with Pride & Prejudice - Colin Firth in britches - oh my!I dislike: (sometimes intently) monosyllabic chav speak; and people who don't have an understanding of sarcasm.Location: the small, damp, green sheep infested island that's otherwise known as N.Ireland (or Ireland if you're being pedantic). Oh and for those who didn't pay attention in Geography, no, it's not Dublin; the clue is in the "N." Clever, eh?I LOVE: cats, cats, cats and erm talking to mine; dancing like a loon around my room when in the mood; Marilyn Monroe; Debbie Harry; Mike Patton; Oscar Wilde; Stephen Fry; art; cars (incidentally I don't like modified Saxo's with 19" rims and Recaro's); MUSIC!; people who aren't sheep.I HATE: alco-pops; chavs; sheep people; music with more than 1000 beats per minute, which requires mind altering substances in order to be appreciated; bland or plastic people; eating lamb, blah! Moths (they instill fear into my very core); being called babe or hun. ARGH! At least attempt to be original.Right...I'm off to pout into any reflective surface I can find - mirrors, windows, spoons, etc... ;opBelow is one of my computer generated doodles - can you guess who?

You Are An INTP
The Thinker
You are analytical and logical - and on a quest to learn everything you can.
Smart and complex, you always love a new intellectual challenge.
Your biggest pet peeve is people who slow you down with trivial chit chat.
A quiet maverick, you tend to ignore rules and authority whenever you feel like it.
You would make an excellent mathematician, programmer, or professor. What's Your Personality Type?I always knew I was a genius - ha! Modest too. ;op

My Interests

Things I enjoy: adding dodgy 80's/90's songs to my profile; paying people to inflict immense pain upon me at the gym in a bid to (quite literally) work my arse off; people watching; procrastination; obscure late night conversations; art, both dabbling in and admiring; MUSIC - indie, rock 'n' roll and 80's; wine quaffing; off-beat humour - oh and cats...love 'em. This just kills me, it's so adorable. It's either sleeping or praying; I can't quite make out which...bless... width="425" height="350">.. ..>

adopt your own virtual pet!

I'd like to meet:

An aesthetically pleasing quixotic daydreamer (Rupert Penry-Jones will do nicely, I thank you). Alternatively, an 80 year old millionaire close to death will suffice. *tish boom*

Music:

Despite no longer wearing DM boots and dresses (which, in hindsight wasn't a good look) I still have a passion for all things alternative - think: The Pixies; Faith No More; Killers; Kings of Leon; The Go! Team; Jeff Buckley; Johnny Cash; Richard Ashcroft; The Verve; "vintage" Oasis; Patti Smith Group; Bloc Party; Feeder; Smashing Pumpkins; Eagle Seagull (fab live!); Maximo Park, The Breeders; 2 Many DJ's, Chemical Brothers; Death In Vegas; Prodigy; Elvis; Stranglers; Pulp; The Zutons; Magic Numbers; Sultans of Ping FC; Ned's Atomic Dustbin; SLF; White Stripes; The Fratellis; Damien Rice; Cracker; The Smiths; We Are Scientists; Interpol; local band: Catchers; The Sleeping Years; The Chalets; Misfits; The Scissor Sisters; Guillemots; The Jam; Stone Temple Pilots; Weezer; Eels; Goldfrapp; A Flock Of Seagulls; Senseless Things; Iggy Pop; Kingmaker; Suede; Green Day; The Bravery; Garbage; Jane's Addiction; DK; PWEI; Teenage Fanclub; Ash; KT Tunstall; Babybird; Amy Winehouse; Letters To Cleo; Supergrass; Depeche Mode; Kraftwerk; Mansun; Fall Out Boy; Rufus Wainwright; U2; Foo Fighters; Turin Brakes; Kasabian; The Hives; The Vines; The Kooks; Gavin De Graw; Bruce Springsteen; Arcade Fire (again, fab live!); The Cure; Guns 'n' Roses; Metallica; Depeche Mode; Joy Division; Killing Joke; Maroon 5; The The; INXS; Pink Floyd; Van Morrison; Counting Crows; Tim Buckley; Jimi Hendrix; The Damned; The Undertones; The Raconteurs; Editors; Levellers; Yeah Yeah Yeahs; PJ Harvey; Blondie; Echo & The Bunnymen; Ramones; Ultravox; Keane; The Rolling Stones; Muse; Soundgarden; Dirty Pretty Things; Talking Heads; QOTSA; Stereophonics; Kylie - yes, there's always room for her in anyone's collection; RATM; T-Rex; The Police; Simple Minds; Sigur Ros; Radiohead; Manic Street Preachers; Blind Melon; Alice In Chains; Pearl Jam; Nirvana; NIN; David Bowie; Stone Roses; Idlewild; RHCP; Kaiser Chiefs; Snow Patrol; Franz Ferdinand; Primal Scream; Bob Marley; Cyndi Lauper; Transvision Vamp; Dolly Parton. Finally, a bit of Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky; Grieg and Strauss; Alessandro Safina; Pavarotti; Andrea Bocelli; Billy Joel thrown in for good measure - and many more!Below is my tribute to all things great from the 80's, with a huge amount of cheese thrown in for good measure.One word: Labyrinth!So bad it's good...no, really, it is: Eddie Murphy sings!Iconic Blondie:Billy Joel's finest work:This is slightly bonkers - but easily the best lip synching ever (Britney had better watch out):
