About Me

chickens, sushi, george's, friends, tattoo's, alcamahol, british comedies, music, acting, drinking, LAUGHING, partying, travelling, improv, sarcasm... are but a few of my favourite things... in fact it would be easier to list the things i dont like, its a very short list: Raw Tomatoes. :)my name is Dawn (and YES i HAVE heard all the jokes regarding my name, however if u have one u think i havnt heard dont hesitate to mail me!! heheh) Im one of the first people to laugh at anything, including myself and what i deem to be clever 'wit', this often has bad results as i also tend to react to awkwardness with laughter or at least a snigger, chortle, giggle, or barely repressed burst of insanity. i suck at telling lies, like to spell things correctly. i can be fickle at times, dread being bored and love everyone to be themselves, however weird that is!!!!I have now just finished uni, (major Zoology) and thus must face reality yet the world is my oyster!!. . (ew, marine gonads!!) ookay the world is my chocolate cake (coz everyone likes cake...). To do with it what i may.im from the lil country of NZ but recently went to the middle east for two months which ROCKED so am passing the time until i can do the whole "europe" thing!! :)Holla to me if you have a good stupid joke to tell me (PLEASE!!!) or if ya want to chat about anything really, i will most likely reply coz IM not a snob!!Myspace Contact Tables Myspace CodesMyspace Online Now Icons Myspace Codes
