almost witty

About me:

Shortest version: As a drunken wife-of-a-friend once said: “Now that I know you, I’m getting to like you”. Read into that what you will…

Short version: A reluctantly 30something Londoner mildly obsessed by web 2.0, film, comedy, pop culture, people, digital culture, London, random happenings and life

My friends would probably describe me as being someone with always something interesting to say that grabs their attention (for good or evil).

I pride myself on my dark, dry, cynical and occasionally outrageous sense of humour. I can always see the darkly funny side of (almost) everything. Then again, if I can only see a lightly funny side in something, I'll use that too. Whatever the tools are at my disposal. I tend to improvise and just use things around me instead - which can be far funnier. Either that or rip off lines from a stand-up comedian I've just seen and hope you won't notice ;-)

Film is an absolute passion of mine - sitting in a darkened room totally sucked into the vision or the story on-screen is just about one of the best ways to spend an afternoon. Then talking about it afterwards!

Music-wise, I tend to know what I like when I hear it - prior to that it's a bit of an eclectic mish-mash, from the Pet Shop Boys to Garbage to Propellerheads. Which is best, I think - who wants to be a close-minded snob about something like music when it's supposed to liberate you?

I've got a little of the ol' wanderlust in me. I've lived in West London, Bradford, Baton Rouge, Cardiff, traveled all over the world (Vietnam, Egypt, Hong Kong to name but a few) and lived in the United States for a year. But I'm equally at home playing silly games and watching music videos, or reading The Guardian. Sometimes both - it's amazing how flexible my fingers can be :-)

I'm a slightly contradictory mix of being able to name pretty much every kink you can think of (my first job was reviewing erotic books!), and at the same time being romantic enough to know the rudest thing of all is to allow each other to exchange emotional feelings, as well as bodily fluids.
