About Me

I pimp other people's wares to the meedja to pay for my lavish Champagne and smack lifestyle. I like to eat and overeat, to listen to words and songs, to strain my voice hitting the high notes, to say and write the word "poo", to crush on James Purefoy, to read novels by precocious Jewish americans, to use an online thesaurus, to wear any colour but black, to draw cow's udders on other people's notepads, to wish my eyes worked properly, to dance like I'm reversing a car, to hang out with people whose names also begin with J, to cackle, to hear others cackle, to be hit with mittens, to shout, to sleep, to be rude.

I once had a dream that Whitesnake ate my family.

Sometimes I write for a magazine called Venue - the clubs section. It is all about Bristol. It is nice.

And my best friend at uni convinced me that she had a willy. For about three seconds. Honestly.
