About Me

I am a woman. I am a singer. I am a writer. I am a drama teacher. I am a genuine bonafide freak. I am in love. I am driven. I am loyal. I am a Chorltonite. I am loud. I am sarcastic. I am never satisfied. I am proud of who I am. I am never truly happy. I am a music journalist. I am an actor. I am a vegetarian. I am one of those people who wants to change the world. I am a lightweight. I am trying to be healthy and fit. I am a music lover. I am anti-consumerist. I am a film fan. I am a gobshite. I am always stepping over the line. I am fast becoming addicted to this realm which bears my name yet does not truly belong to me...I'd like to meet: Anyone who has the chutzpah to be a genuine individual. Anyone who truly doesn't care what others think of them. Anyone who isn't afraid to stick it to the man.
