About Me

Don't you remember me? I know you're just being nosy.
I got a first from Salford and decided that I was going to put my degree to good use by not doing journalism in any form whatsoever. Since then I have variously been doing lots of travelling to places like the Netherlands and Switzerland, lots of temping- some of it good, some of it bad, and some just very very strange- and working in retail management which is really, really rubbish.
After uni I moved home to Leeds, but it's not as good as Manchester because it doesn't have Night & Day, a giant wheel, OR dancing hobos. Plans for the not-too distant future involve moving back there to live with my man, our cat and the friendly local scallies.
My ambition is to own a llama, one of my legs is slightly longer than the other, I can speak handy phrases in seven different languages, and I am in love with Josh Homme. My boyfriend doesn't mind because he is too.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Harold from Neighbours, and Dr Karl too. Dave "The Ledge" Grohl. Josh Homme and his ginger baby. Rita Hayworth. Mark Lanegan. Jesse 'the Devil' Hughes, because he likes the ladies. The man from the Cillit Bang adverts- HE'S BARRY SCOTT.

Music:

I love me some Queens of the Stone Age, and Foo Fighters, and Incubus. Also liking: Trail Of The Dead - Audioslave - The Distillers - Eagles of Death Metal - Oceansize - Air - Kyuss - Eleven - Screaming Trees - Marilyn Manson - No Doubt - Desert Sessions - Faith No More -PJ Harvey - Fiona Apple - Mark Lanegan - Nirvana - Regina Spektor - Fun Lovin' Criminals - My Vitriol - Reef - Garbage - And the Spongebob Squarepants theme. OHHHH...!

Movies:

40's noir like Gilda and Double Indemnity. Geeky sci-fi like The Matrix and The Fifth Element and Serenity, even though no-one else gets it. Arty foreign films like Amelie and Kitchen Stories. Butt-kicking nonsense like Die Hard 3: With a Vengence! None of your chick flick rubbish please.

Television:

Alias - Lost - Monty Python- ER - Spaced - Family Guy - American Dad - Peep Show - Firefly - Kath and Kim - Neighbours - Neighbours again at 5:35. You've got to watch it twice in case you missed anything the first time round. My secret guilty pleasures include Charmed, Jeremy Kyle, and the fabulous bitchiness of America's Next Top Model.

Books:

I like to keep up my degree tradition by having ten books on the go at once, but I especially like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Anne Rice and Bill Bryson. I am also enjoying New Scientist and National Geographic, because they make excellent train reading and are good for hiding trashy nonsense like Reveal in the middle. Other things to list include all of Paul's science fiction books, of which I can only read a page or two before giving up in despair. Then he gives me another one which is REALLY REALLY GREAT. Yes.

Heroes:

Josh Homme, for being quite lovely. The legend that is Barrie McDermott, for having less eyes than most. Lu and Han, for enduring being called "The Twins" by everyone annoying in the world. Me, for being apparently the only person on the planet able to resist the urge to jazz their MySpace up to apocalyptic eyeball-bursting levels.
