About Me

Well hello there. My name's Cass and I'm currently living in Leeds being a pizza wench and getting drunk and doing all sorts of silly things. I like to write TV scripts: this is all well and good but the pay isn't spectacular, as no-one important likes them. I've just started an MA in Writing for Performance, which should either dictate whether I am up to the job or not! However, me and all my friends think I'm hilariously funny and talented which is pretty cool... and obviously true. I'm half-Yorkshire, half-Scottish so you won't get a penny out of me, unless I'm wrecked, which is when the whole world suddenly turns into some sort of charity and I give money to people I meet on the street. I like laughing and people who make me laugh and things that make me laugh. I try and laugh at everything and I even laughed at a funeral once because the lady in front of me had blue hair. I try and follow Buddhist principles throughout my life, in particular the principles of compassion and tolerance. My dad is a Buddhist and he makes it look all so easy. However, I lose all compassion and tolerance whenever elderly people act impatiently in shops, whenever female drivers refuse to reverse park, whenever people are described as 'crazy' or 'nuts', whenever people call me Cassie, whenever people drop litter, whenever I see a cat, owl or whale (I HATE all of these creatures), whenever customers can't wait to be seated in the restaurant where I work and whenever I see Eamonn Holmes. Apart from that I'm pretty chilled and very easy to walk over. Aside from my beauty, brains and extremely advanced - yet somewhat misunderstood - sense of humour, there isn't a great deal there.

My Interests

I like to make shorten my sentences and words because I'm generally too lazy to speak. For example, 'hilar' = 'hilarious', 'amaze' = 'amazing', 'atro' = 'atrocious', 'ridic' = 'ridiculous'. That's pretty much all I do...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone! I need to look popular so that my virtual world reflects my real one.

Music:

This week I have been mostly listening to Aretha, Erma Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Air, Beastie Boys, Daft Punk and Beck. I like anything with a thumping bassline and some real soul. Motown and old school RnB rule my world. My tastes change with my moods, if I'm driving in the country it's classical, if I'm driving home it's something I can sing my heart out to, if I'm feeling amaze I love a bit of funk... and for everything else there's Morrissey.

Movies:


..
Elf is the greatest film on earth. I have no interest in any other film... ever. However I would really like to find out from which film the clip above is taken. I feel like i've died and gone to to tv heaven when I watch it. I don't understand even one second of it, and the third lad sat on the bed really gives me nightmares. Truly amazing.

Television:

TV is where I want to spend my life and I take it seriously, as we all should. I'm rather jealous of Paul Abbott, the writer of Shameless. In a few series he achieved what I would wanna do in an entire lifetime. I like to laugh at tv: Green Wing (perfect because you never really quite understand it), Father Ted, Jimmy Carr in general (my ideal man), anything involving Vic Reeves, old things like Reggie Perrin (CJ is my idol) and Fawlty Towers, anything that even slightly involves Chris Morris: I would like to have his babies for simply having the bollocks to use TV to attack the very people who are consumed by it... (I'm probably one of those people!) I like TV that makes people think outside of the realms of Ant and Dec and anything that involves humiliating people. I like seeing things that don't represent a 'regular' viewpoint, so that we may perhaps somehow delay the inevitable cloning of Britain's masses by having a wide variety of things to watch. I don't like boring things like golf or racing and I don't like things that make you sad.

Books:

I did a degree in English but always picked the easy stuff so I'd get good marks. Actually, I didn't read a thing, I just slept with the freshers in fresher's week and the tutors in term time, and paid people in Cambodia to do my essays. Easy.

Heroes:

is a song by David Bowie.
