I like films and talking with genuine people who mean what they say. I like enthusiastic people, their energy makes up for my lack of. I like people who can see beyond the superficial and the material, because I really need them to. I'm a hopeless romantic, with the emphasis on "hopeless". I like fine food and the occasional alcoholic beverage. I am tempted to say that I have an alcohol problem, but I don't. I don't have the motivation to sustain one. Let's call it an alcohol issue.
I enjoy writing quiet songs in my bedroom. I'm a frustrated poet, but nothing can be committed to paper. I'm overly emotional and sentimental but I try to curb that as much as I can, because when it gets out it tends to be cringe-enducing and tiresome.I like letters. Real letters, written by real people. Sent to my home. I like homemade cd sleeves. I am attracted to creative people. I far prefer one-on-one interaction, rather than group things. My dictionary definition is "wall flower". I do enjoy picnics in Regents Park or on Primrose Hill in the Spring and Summer. You bring the hamper, I'll bring the charm.

I don't watch television much. I only really watch on New Years Eve.
Only an Excuse and Still Game / Chewin' the Fat. I used to love Naked Video, Rab C Nesbitt, Vidz...lots of Scottish comedy stuff, I guess.
I used to love Neighbours when Kym Valentine was in it. She was hot. My mum told me recently that Kym came back. Maybe I need to tune in again.
Sex and the City is great, but I haven't watched it religiously.
Still haven't gotten round to seeing any of The Sopranos yet. But I will...
Iain Banks, Irvine Welsh, Anthony Burgess, Steven King, books about film, occasional rock biogs.
