About Me

I have made a resolution to stop being so bitter and twisted and arsed about things that have happened ages ago. As some wrinkly man said 'Living well is the best revenge' so nerr.

You may find yourself living in a shotgun shell
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself; Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by- let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by- water flowing underground
Into the blue again- after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime- water flowing underground.

My Interests

Partytime, secret cigarettes, drinking tea, singing 'fa-fa-fa-fa-fa', utillising my lovely staff discount, drinking tea, being ladylike, being as unladylike as possible, eating, free lunch, snuggling, saying words like 'ooze' with fantastically elongated vowels, talking too much, being chatted up by black men (evidently), Corporation Popping, albeit not so much that I'm sick anymore, spending my life on trains, planes and in automobiles, picnics, David Byrne's dance moves, cider and black, wine, 'Twice, TWIICE!', cocktails, singing on the way to the trainstation, music that makes me happy, sad, danceable or just generally feel something. And of course, passing out in a stupor.

I'd like to meet:

People who share my love for shit tv, shit food etc etc

Music:

Its quite fair to say that I like music. Music including Talking Heads, Arcade Fire, Jackie Wilson, Blonde Redhead, Interpol, Modernaire, Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, The Knife, Joy Division, Gideon Conn, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, and of course the godly PJ Harvey, who has to be a musical genius. I also seem to get really soppy when I listen to Elbow nowadays, especially 'Newborn' because it reminds me of Paul singing 'I'll lick the snot off your septum' when I have a cold. In the nicest possible way.

Movies:

24 Hour Party People, Shallow Hal, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind because it's nice, Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Television:

Peep Show. Monkey Dust. League Of Gentlemen. Nighty Night. Coronation Street. JEKYLL.

Books:

Perfume, 1984, Girlfriend In A Coma, The Bitch Godess Notebook, Fierce People, Gossipgirl, Trainspotting, Last Exit To Brooklyn, Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee, Anita And Me.

Heroes:

Regine Chassagne, if only for the dancing.

Well.

Last weekend was the mighty 4 day bender, and I think I did pretty well alltogether. I wish I remembered more of it, although sadly I don't. It involved a lot of booze, a lot of bands, a lot of d...

Mossley: The new Royston Vasey?

Things I've learned over the past 5 weeks:

Sometimes, doing the right hting isn't what you should think about. Put yourself first once in a while. Be yooooooung, be foooolish, but be happppppy do-do-do-do-do-do. Going out, saying you'll be bac...

It's all sweaty, and I need a wee.

So, the day before college has come. And I don't know about anyone else, but I'm crapping it. I. Hate. The Place. Then there's the what to wear dilemma- of course, having put on weight, none of my su...

I don't know.

The past week has been fantastic. Discovered the joys of Up The Racket/cheap doubles/cocktails, found someone who's lit things up a bit, etc etc. So why is it I have the gnawing feeling in my tummy ag...

Oh I wish I was born a man...

That way, I might understand them slightly better. Amongst other things, blokes seem to be the root of all my bloody problems at the moment. Setting stupid essays, wanking on about tents, losing me mo...

Corporation Pop 2.

So, second night. I think I did well getting 12 people in, considering I'd only had my tickets for 3 days beforehand. The walk from the bus station this time thankfully wasn't anywhere as scary as the...
