Catherine is my anti-drug.

About Me



My Interests



Need to send me a message? Erm.

Want to add me? Ta-da.

I'd like to meet:

Who I'd like to meet?
An abstract mouse.
Failing that, Alfred Hitchcock - so he could tell me who actually coined the term 'MacGuffin'. It's been bothering me for quite some time.
Peter Singer, and I don't even need to give a reason for that.
Joss Whedon, so I can try to persuade him to pick up on that idea of the hemorrhoid-consuming robot. I imagine it'd be quite a riot.
Aristotle, so I can slap him for being such a misogynist.
And Alan Rickman - because he's so darn sexy.

Heroes:

This girl.
Most of you probably don't know her.
As such, I doubt you'll care about her.
After all, why would you care about a girl you'll probably never meet?
Because she's perfect, that's why.
Yeah, I feel sorry for you...
What we have is better than any relationship you've ever had.
Catherine.
- Because you feed me raisin toast.
- Because you let me swim in your pool mid-winter, and refrain yourself from lecturing me.
- Because you're every teacher's dream student.
- Because you're so adorable when you whinge.
- Because we're both hopeless romantics, and Titanic just about kills us.
- Because you sleep on me when I stroke your hair.
- Because you're so intelligent, and you have the cutest blonde moments ever.
- Because you share my Harry Potter fanaticism.
- Because you find my redhead obsession humorous.
- Because you put up with me and my ridiculousness.
- Because you give me colds.
- Because you catch me when I fall, both metaphorically and literally.
- Because you have the best sneeze I have ever heard.
- Because you love emo music, and deny it incessantly.
- Because you're the most perfect thing I could imagine.
- Because this list is pointless, as it will never end, really.
- Because of our gushy heart-to-hearts.
- Because you accept me.
- Because you're my other half.
