About Me


Me.... such a complex thing am I.... how to describe me in mere words?.... I guess that to start even trying could take a while, but I shall attempt to be short and sweet - the amount of coke I manage to drink every day should make the sweetness easy.... My life revolves around my family and my friends - without them I couldn't make it through the day to day, mundane trivialities.... a have a small number of close friends, whom I have gained through time... and bucketloads of patience on both our sides!! However, those friends I do consider close to me will have their places in my heart till the day I die... love to you all xx My children infuriate me, but I couldn't, and wouldn't, change them for the world (OK, maybe I'd make them a little less hyperactive!!). Work is something I do to provide m family with what we need... I may enjoy it, but I could never allow a job to consume me, I'd be doing a dis-service to my children, and to myself - well, what's the point in earning money if you're too involved in the job to enjoy it! There have been many obstacles and trials in my so far short life, but I have managed to overcome everything that was thrown at me, and believe it has made me a far better person... I wouldn't be who I am today had it not been for the great effort it's taken to get here. And, if you're interested, yes, I am happy with who and what I am, if others aren't, that's their problem. I wont change to suit anyone! I live by a couple of basic, well-used mottos.... I am who I am, take it or leave it.... Treat me with respect and I'll give it back to you..... and most importantly, Life's too short to worry too much about tomorrow.

Which Grey's Anatomy Girl Are You?

Callie Torres
You are very fun, smart and confident, with a loving nature and a quick wit. You love to have fun and you fight for what you want. You tend to get jealous at times, and are not afraid to get your hands dirty.
How do you compare?

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who challenges me, however that may be! Be warned, if I smell a rat, I'll call you on it, so trust in the adage that honesty is the best policy!

Music:

There's too many varieties for me to be so enamoured with just one that it would be all I ever listened to... Jack - don't ever think that because I don't talk about music that I wont like what you listen to!! In fact, that applies to everyine really... there's very little in the way of musci that I refuse to listen to, from the old maestros to the barrage thrown at me everytime I enter a bar....oh, and check out Festa's thing below cos it's cool :-)

Movies:

I certainly don't watch enough films, but there are reasons... I wasted a couple of hours recently watching Casanova, hoping all the way through that it would improve... the BBC mini-drama was much better! So, basically, unless it's something that I really would like to see, I don't tend to make a point of watching it... what's the point? (Yeah, I know many of you would disagree, but I know what I like... Mr Cage, for example....)

Television:

There was once a time a couple of years ago when you'd have difficulty prising me away from the TV... now I'm lucky if I watch more than a few hours in a week.... I have my favourites... Grey's Anatomy, ER, Desperate Housewives, Supernatural.... I make a point of watching them where possible, but the rest of the time I don't tend to bother.

Books:

So many, and yet so few.... I feel I've barely touched on the vast library the world has to offer, yet have my nose in a book most of the time! I adore Harry Potter - JK is a genius, nothing more to say... roll on Deathly Hallows.....
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Heroes:

Myself... if I can't find a fraction of what I think a hero ought to encompass within myself, then why expect to find it in anyone else?
