Someone else's life is flashing before my eyes - what the hell is that about?

About Me


I am a MySpace whore. But in real life I'm not a whore, so I'm going that this way around is probably prefereable. Some part of me needs to be a bit whore-y.
Apparently this is my heritage (eh? lol) With a very scary photo.
I'm in my second year studying archaeology at the University of York. Apparently it can't be York University, because that's somewhere in Canada. I love archaeology (except the theory) and am doing a BSc, which seems to put me in a minority. Whilst everyone else is fascinated by Romans, I think bones are interesting. And I hate the Romans. York is great to shop in, but the university is boring and has no social life. It's also populated by southerners who think they're better than me. This is annoying, since everyone tells you university is full of diversity. It certainly isn't in Alcuin Q block. Although I am a member of Vanbrugh college (I'm one of the merchandise reps) my old college was too shitty to live in and we all moved over the shiny Alcuin with it's en suites and kitchens which actually had ovens in. Wooh. Now I live in a rather manky house but it has cheap rent, woooo.
I like my friends, photography, trying not to think, alcohol, general things and films. I am, quite frankly, insane, and I'm damn proud of it! I also find taking pictures of random things (including myself, as can be seen from my pics- eek) rather fun, and think light is very pretty.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests


- Films

- DVDs
- Martial arts (mainly Tae Kwon Do, but there isn't a WTF TKD club in York)
- Having a laugh
- Going out

I'd like to meet:

Ha ha! Stupid bands, you can't add me any more! No more friend request box full of crap every time I sign on!
I'd like to meet amazing people! Like:

Music:

Anything, really. Like rock stuff the most though :-)
Favourites include:
- HIM
- Green Day
- Foo Fighters
- Goo Goo Dolls
- Killers
- Thursday
- Mars Volta
- Remy Zero
- REM
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Evanescence
- Stereophonics
- Muse
- Snow Patrol
- The Automatic
- The Used
I also like less mainstream stuff (because it's old/Celtic/totally weird) which include:
- Enya
-Ultravox
-Duran Duran (which I liked before Donnie Darko, new album etc. that made everyone else notice... notably people who had mocked me earlier for singing "Rio" to myself)
- David Bowie
- Lord of the Rings soundtracks
- Alison Moyet
- Jean Michel Jarre
And so on... also like classical, but in small amounts, although I do love Moonlight Sonata.
I don't have any particular music scene or whatever- Ali insists I'm emo, but that's only because I have floppy hair and look a bit tragic most of the time.

Movies:


I adore films!
I think the new Asian cinema coming out is fantastic. I love a lot of them, but my favourites of Asian cinema are:
- Ringu trilogy
- The two Grudge (Ju-On) films
- Dark Water (superb)
- A Tale Of Two Sisters
-Phone
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- House Of Flying Daggers
- Hero
- Kung Fu Hustle
- Sleeping Bride
- Whispering Corridors
- Memento Mori

I basically love Asian cinema (with probably the exception of Audition which makes me feel sick). People who say they don't want to watch it "because it's subtitled" really annoy me. My father is one of these people.
I do love Western films too! Favourites of these include:
- Muriel's Wedding
- Nightmare Before Christmas
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Donnie Darko
- Shaun Of The Dead
- Van Helsing
- Overboard
- Delirious
- The Ring
- The Ring Two
- The Grudge
- Memoirs Of A Geisha (it is Western, lol- written by an American and produced by an American company)
- Lord Of The Rings trilogy
- X Men 1 and 2
- The Mummy
- Indiana Jones (well, I am an archaeologist, after all)
- All Monty Python films!

Television:


Modern TV kind of sucks. I do love old stuff, hee hee. The more modern things I like are:
- Neighbours
- Doctors (yeah, student afternoon TV!)
- DEAL OR NO DEAL
- Lost
- Scrubs
- Green Wing
- Planet Earth
- Life On Mars
- My Family
- Smallville
- Hustle
- Cash in the Attic
- Balamory!!

Yes, I do love the rubbish daytime TV. It's so easy to sit there and feel your brain slowly melt.
I do admittedly love the old stuff. This includes:
- Blakes 7!! (And I'm not ashamed... although I probably should be)
- Red Dwarf
- Bugs
- Vicar of Dibley
- Monty Python
- Blackadder
- Porridge
- Not The Nine O Clock News
- YES MINISTER
- The Good Life

And so on. I do love the old stuff!

And, of course, I do love this guy!

Books:


I love most books (although I've never managed to get the hang of Dickens for some reason). Favourite authors are:
- Terry Pratchett
- Robin Hobb
- Harper Lee
- Alexander McCall Smith
- J. K. Rowling (not a big fan of book 6 though)
- J. R. R. Tolkien

My sort of "stand alone" books I love (because I haven't read others by them, or they haven't written others- although that should probably include Harper Lee, since the only book she wrote was "To Kill A Mockingbird") are:
- The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
- Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
- Lucky by Alice Sebold
- The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gatiss


Heroes:


- Leon Trotsky
- Che Guevara
- Ernest Shackleton
- Humphrey Appleby?
Humphrey must be a real person!
