About Me

I'm really little, and I really don't like myspace, but I'm jumping on the band wagon to keep in touch with my mates the lazy way when I go to uni. Yeah, I like all the usual, music, films, reading, vaguely into politics (I'll put my stance in if necessary, but its not my favourite pass time), looking at emos and thinking "why?", looking but not thinking like an emo - apparently that makes me "scene", I dunno. I can come across as a bitch if I'm not being really quiet, in which case people think I'm just being rude, but mostly I am neither of these. I'd like to think that I'm fairly stable without being old lady-ish and dull, but I may appear that way I guess. I'm a pretty angry type, not for any reason other than I have a horrendous temper which I struggle to control at times (as Alice and Tim experience fairly frequently), but most of the time I'm very chirpy and can be regularly found bopping away in the Tache or at work, generally to Dexys Midnight Runners or Slipknot. I do love to dance, although I should probably stop - I look like a proper tit when I dance. My best friend describes me as "The Tactless Wonder" due to the fact that I just never know when to stop talking, particularly after having had a tipple or two. I just say bad things to good people or I'm really unsubtle like shouting "Loook, that guy that you fancy is looking RIGHT at you - he wants you!" so that they (and everyone else in the vicinity) can hear. I imagine that causes embarassment for my friends, but I'm so ignorant/thick-skinned/dim that I don't notice or even care that much. I get angry when I'm drunk and tend to tell people to fuck off or I hit people. I'm working on that though, I guess it will result in serious injuries if I say it to the wrong person one day. I'm possibly the biggest technophobe ever - it took a long time to sort this myspace up, and I still haven't mastered how to put music onto my MPGAY player - I have to get my brother to do it. I'm that bad. I can't even copy CD's because I have no idea how to do it - I have been shown, but its just too hard. I find myself slightly emotionally stunted for one reason and another, but I just get on with things because I'm too keen to dance to mope around feeling sorry for myself. I do ocassionally have a cry, but that's fairly standard stuff and it just feels so good afterwards. Dear Lord, does that make me emo? Comment me on that. Oh yeah, and I talk a lot. I never used to be this way.

My Interests


adopt your own virtual pet!

I'd like to meet:

Pretty much the same as my heroes, but I'll add George Harrison separately because he was beautiful, and that's most important thing in the world. Also Polynesian Studies Boy, as he is also beautiful. I want his babies (and Jeffrey's, obviously)I think I'd like to meet Anne Boleyn if she didn't hate me, cos she was a bit of a bitch but cool none the less. I think Elizabeth I seemed cool and I think I fancy Robert Dudley, which is just a little odd. I would just love to meet His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama - I nearly did once but he got cancer just before we were meant to go :( He's a legend and I want to see his watch collection. I'd quite like to meet my Grandma (both in fact) but I'm meant to look like one of them plus it'd be cool just to see them in real life instead of just photos all the time. I'd like to meet Johnny Cash and steal him and marry him - he was just lovely, if a little crazy.

Music:

Muse (amazing live btw), Belle and Sebastian (ditto), Jeff Buckley, Tim Buckley, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Radiohead, The Strokes, Led Zeppelin (to an extent), Simple Minds, The Automatic, The Futureheads, Hed PE, Tears for Fears, Leonard Cohen, Primal Scream, Duran Duran, Bonnie Tyler, The Pixies, Faithless, REM, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Portishead, Spiritualized, Massive Attack, Gnarls Barkley (sp?), Chemical Brothers, Johnny Cash, Tracy Chapman, The Kooks, Send More Paramedics,I have Moby on my laptop (still not sure if I like it or not though) Kaiser Chiefs, The Streets, Franz Ferdinand, Joy Division, Dexys Midnight Runners (admittedly only one song), Cranberries, The Proclaimers, Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, Nick Cave, Neil Young, Marvin Gaye, Snow Patrol (a little bit), Otis Redding, Van Morrison, The Beatles, Blur, Oasis, The Verve, Shen, WPBN, CSOD, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, I do like some early Britney Spears stuff, Tool, The Eagles, Korn, Slipknot, anything played in the Tache (aside from the emo shite), John Martyn, System of a Down, Neil Young, Death in Vegas, Paint it Black by Rolling Stones (its the only one I like) Sublime, NOFX, Madness, Tori Amos (my new favourite), The Jam, The Smiths, Incubus, A Perfect Circle are growing on me. I love Rage, and old Lostprophets and Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss (nearly called my cat that). Head Automatica (again, just for one song), Nirvana (in very, very small doses), Coldplay, White Stripes, Radiohead, JT, one Shakira song, Smashing Pumpkins, Turin Brakes, some Razorlight, Scissor Sisters. I dunno, Jose Gonzalez is cool. I like my mum's Pure Moods CD, sad I know but there you go. Also recently got really into Cat Stevens, James Taylor and Al Stewart. Basically, I have an eclectic taste in music, sometimes it is brain mush music, othe times its good- it all depends on how I'm feeling at the time that I hear it.

Movies:

Gone with the Wind, Watership Down, all Disney bar Beauty and the Beast, 10 Things I hate about you blah blah blah

Television:

I only really watch Hollyoaks, but Pride and Prejudice was good when it was on - I have the DVD of it. Food programmes are cracking too, but I only see them when I'm at Alice's because I think we're the only people in the world who are content to sit in with a glass of Ribena, a Wild n Whippy and watch Delia or Nigella all day long. Brass Eye was ace when it was on. I do watch Cash in the Attic - I have no excuse for that, and I do think they should bring back David Dickinson to Bargain Hunt! I've also got into My Name Is Earl now (thankyou John). I'd never really watched it before, thought it was a bit stupid and low brow (which I guess it is) but its really funny - I love it. I've also started watching Arrested Development, and it is funny. And the IT Crowd (Christopher Morris is an absolute legend). Green Wing is also pretty funny. I'll be watching more now though - my boyf has some website with good programmes on - yay!! Also enamoured with Scrubs and anything on UKTV History. If that makes me a geek, then so be it.

Books:

Pretty much any books, but my favourites are Watership Down, Wuthering Heights, The Other Boleyn Girl, American Psycho, The Chronicles of Narnia, Memoirs of a Geisha, Falling Leaves, The Constant Princess, The Virgin's Lover, The Queen's Fool. I love books where you can just get lost, not in fantasy particularly, but lost in a time that we missed.

Heroes:

Right now, my heroes are probably my kittens (Titus and Samson) because they're just the acest animals ever, Jeff Buckley, the obvious Che Guevara (sp?), Bill Hicks, Bill Bryson, Winston Churchill (based on the story about the woman being ugly and he'll be sober.... I dunno, its hard to explain wothout babbling, but its ace), Prince Harry cos he's royalty AND hot, Anne Boleyn, my mum is a legend because she just does eveything for me and I miss her when I'm gone : (. Also, my sister, Laura, because she's had to work really hard to get to do what she wants and now she's done it. Grandad's pretty cool, especially now he can hear stuff so you don't have to shout anymore. I think pretty much all my friends are my heroes for a variety of reasons, but mainly cos they all manage to make me feel good whatever's going on. Heroes should just make you feel warm and fuzzy when you think of them. MyGen Profile Generator
