Our grief is not Greek as we bury our dead, we know without knowing there is reason for what we bear

About Me


I am what is known in polite society as a 'character,' a happy-go-lucky maniac getting into hilarious scrapes with mental illness.I like to hoard things in the words of my mother to my therapist "like a mad person" and I'm currently building a fort out of Penguin paperbacks. MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

Playing the ukulele, making obsessively detailed drawings, staring into the distance enigmatically, pina coladas, gettin' caught in the rain, caring for my elderly pets and generally not leaving the house if I don't have to. I would like to get all non-visible skin tattooed. .. width="425" height="350" .. IT ROLLS DOWN STAIRS! This is the LOG SONG from Ren & Stimpy!.. width="425" height="350" ..This is one creepyarse film, don't watch it in the dark or with a cat on your lap unless you're wearing suitable mess-proof underpants.

I'd like to meet:

Unwholesome strangers, in unsavoury places. Oh and Dale Winton cause he's an evil minion of the anti-christ.

Movies:



adopt your own virtual pet!I like everything by Lukas Moodysson, Pedro Almodovar, Julio Medem, David Lynch, Matthew Bright, Michael Haneke, Michael Almereyda, Mohsen, Samira and Hana Makhmalbaf. I love The NeverEnding Story, it's so schmaltzy and frighteningly eighties. I also like Mina Tannenbaum "Tiny head, enormous rear, when you fart you disappear." Blade Runner, Willow, anything featuring Fred Savage, Crummy Sci-fi and Fantasy, the lower the budget the more I love it.

Television:

My favourite Star Trek captain is James Tiberius Kirk. Shatner's rendition of 'Rocket Man'is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, the man is obviously a genius. Captain Janeway has a voice like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang being violated by the Blue Man Group. Captain Benjamin Sisko tries too hard to seem charismatic. Captain Jonathan Archer is far too goody goody. Captain Jean Luc Picard always seems like he's thinking "I used to play Hamlet, how did I end up starring in this crap?" His resentment is palpable. I love sci-fi series like all the Star Treks, Babylon 5, Andromeda (crummy), Battlestar Galactica (the original seventies series) and the current series and Firefly (seriously under-rated). Other than that the TV is mostly a hateful box of talking faces that mock me with a kind of polished insincerity.

What New Battlestar Galactica character are you?
