Playing my beloved old Fender acoustic whilst writing songs which I perform to anyone who cares/dares to listen! I love watching films especially arty or horror genres. Painting, drawing, making stuff...I love origami, it's the only thing which shuts me up apart from sleep (and even then there are exceptions!). I have a new found love of working out- yeah feel the burn! I am a social butterfly & love meeting new people, going to gigs and clubs and travelling about.
My favourite thing in the world is kissing Scott- I could get lost in that feeling! Nothing beats love does it?!
I'd like to meet:
Tori Amos & Suzanne Vega because they've inspired me musically since I was a child.
QUESTIONNAIRE:
What is your favourite taste? Amaretto sour cocktails...I could be drip fed that stuff!
How do you like to relax? Sat on my arse watching Ricki Lake obviously!....nah not really! Playing my guitar, writing songs, having a cuddle from my man, sat on the beach etc...basically anything that doesn't include much moving or brain power!
When was the last time you threw up? At my mates house in Chesterfield because of mixing my substances...it was all over myself actually, and really took me by surprise but I just cleaned it up and carried on yakking...as usual!
Tell me a phobia! Heights without a doubt...went up the sky tower in Auckland city and nearly bobbed my pants! Stood on the glass floor though- how brave I am!
Who last made you laugh? Mum last night; we were recounting how mum had made a naive comment and made us laugh. It was in "The hills have eyes" and the policeman dad opens a box with an ear in it and mum said "OOhh...he'll know what that is being a policeman!". It's amazing but my mum is very far from being blonde! No offense to blondes- I myself am of the fair genome!
Which is nicer; sex or chocolate? SEX!!!! Unless it's Thorntons...then I may have to reconsider...NOT!
What would you NOT do for a million pounds? Eat poo, kill someone, go bungee jumping, lots of things that are gross/dangerous/scary- life's too short to not have a good time!
Favourite colour? Green- with sparkly blue bits in it! Like a peacock!
Favourite place? In bed with my man...2nd place goes to Paris though...I just love that city!
Are you a health freak? Lets see...don't do any formal excercise...eat pretty much what I want...I guess that's a "no" then.
Are you a CONTROL freak? I like spontaneity so probably not...do like getting my own way sometimes though so maybe a bit...room is a dump and life pretty much just flows along so probably no then...arghhhh I just can't decide, but I want to...does that make me a control freak?!! Hehe!
Were you a naughty child? I was good as gold, thoughtful and kind to animals and humans alike, intelligent and caring...blah...blah...blah...I made up for it from my teenage years though I tell ya!
Cats or dogs? I like cats better (don't have to give them loads of attention and stay cuter for longer- I know, I'm so fickle!) but the irony is I'm allergic to them!!! Damn you cruel fate...why did you forsake me this way?!!! Arghhhhh!
Any regrets? Not really- life too short for regrets. Yeah with hindsight we're all Einstein, but you can never go back, what's done is done, and it's made us who we are...I cherish that (seen as I'm such a fantastic person and all)...I probably wouldn't be saying the same if I'd been on Crystal Meth (Blimey that stuff ruins you dude!)!! Don't do it kids! Drugs are bad mmmkay?!!
Biggest achievement to date? Probably getting my degree- that was like torure! Having to actually do all that reading nearly sent me blind ah tell thi! Plus getting my arse to NZ- what a palaver...but I did it...yey!!
What do you want most in life? To be happy. That's it really...oh...and get married, have some kids, have a nice house, travel the world, always have loads of friends, become famous for my song writing skills (eventually when I get my arse in gear!), and live until I'm very old! Apart from that, just to be happy really!
Have you ever blamed a fart on the dog? Who hasn't?! It's like a natural tool of deception and fool proof too!...I'm waiting for the day when Poppy says "Ahem...I think that was actually you Chelle!". I would really laugh my ass off if that ever happened!
CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!
Create Your Own!
Music:
Allsorts- I just wrote this section then accidently deleted it somehow...grrr! I'm a free spirit and don't like to pigeon-hole myself to one genre- if I like something then I like it. The Police are a favourite as are Bob Marley, the aforementioned Suzanne Vega and Tori Amos...Folk, Rock, Punk, Reggae, Break Beat dance, it all depends what mood I'm in...something which varies with the weather and the wind!
Movies:
The Matrix, Fight Club, The Nightmare Before Christmas (most Tim Burton films actually- genius!), Equilibrium, old Jet Li martial arts films are ace too! Amelie, The Labyrinth, Memento, Garden State is one of my very favourites- simply beautiful film!
Television:
Lost, Desperate Housewives, The Simpsons (SOOOOOOO FUNNY!)Grey's anatomy, Hustle, My So Called Life (from back in the day!)When Good pets go bad, Classic! ;)
Books:
Memoirs of a Geisha is a lovely book. A favoutite genre of mine is horror/fantasy/crime though, The Magic Cottage by James Herbert is ace, as are The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. I also love reading true stories about the extraordinary and sometimes sad lives others have lead- they humble and educate me. My recent reads are: Ghost Girl by Torey Hayden, A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, Leaving the Saints by Martha Beck, I Choose to Live by Sabine Dardenne, A Child Called It and The Lost Boy by David Peltzer, Sickened by Julie Gregory and at the moment I am reading My Feudal Lord by Tehmina Durrani. I'd recommend all of them!
Heroes:
My Partner and soul-mate Scott, he's the most wonderful and most brave person I've ever known and he makes me feel like the luckiest woman in the world! Also, my mum and dad because they've given me so much and we had a wonderful childhood, I couldn't have asked for better parents!
