Beshemoth's Interests
|
| General | Music, gigs, hanging out with my mates and talking shite, gossip, bad movies, stupid tv programmes, liberal applications of alcohol, dancing, burlesque, having adventures, homebrew, reading sarcastic weblogs, cartoons, attempting to create 'art', astrology, astronomy, half-baked home-made herbalism, various New Age-y things, photography (of anything that doesn't move fast enough), cocktails, making cakes, ill-advised attachment to purple and/or spangly things, chainsaws, paintball, tanks, stripey tights, corsets, zombies, zombie survivalism, getting a few pints in of a sunny afternoon and arguing in a half-arsed way about the laws of phyiscs. | | Music | Specifically: Pop Will Eat Itself, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, Depeche Mode, Carter USM, Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Green Day, Offspring, Wildhearts, Killing Joke, Therapy?

| | Movies | I have really shite taste in movies! Pineapple Express, Balls of Fury, Shaolin Soccer, Fear of a Black Hat, Hercules Returns, Spaceballs, Withnail & I, Shaun of the Dead, Dog Soldiers, 28 Days Later, Battle Royale, Labyrinth, Aliens, erm, any Michael Biehn vehicle really... you can't accuse me of intellectualism! Oh and martial arts flicks! Go Jackie Chan! | | Television | Futurama, Simpsons, Spaced, Teachers, Black Books ... er, I notice a pattern here. And nature programmes. Sad, but true. | | Books | I endorse Michael Marshall Smith, Cordwainer Smith, Kim Newman and China Mieville. Many authors I like, few I love though! I like ancient history and science and biology tomes and comedy and sci-fi and fantasy as long as it's not anything by Anne Rice or Piers Anthony (not making any friends here, hee) but will give almost anything a go. Just... not too much chic-lit, please, I can only read so many stories about some dizzy secretary being saved from her credit card bills by a deus ex machina. Because I have to sort mine the old-fashioned way! | | Heroes | Ooh, loads. Anyone who's done something to change the world (for the better), or taken a big chance in following their dream (especially if it all went tits up but they weren't bitter!) |

Beshemoth's Blurbs |
About me:
As a one-sentence summary: general space-cadet and drama queen.
Yeah sure, other people actually DO interesting things, but thanks to a healthy imagination and overwhelming sense of entitlement, I can make a trip down the shops sound worse than an overland hike across Asia.
Sadly, it turns out there is nothing I can get up to that is so inept, misguided or downright embarassing that I can resist the temptation to tell everyone about it for cheap laughs. After years of giving examples of my astounding gormlessness to my mates, I was quite miffed to see they had all taken me at my word.
In other news: Scottish chick. No muscial ability whatsoever, slight 'artistic' pretensions, great love of gossip, humour, music, sarcasm and very bad movies.
At the moment my spare time's all about fighting, shooting, gigs, engineering, guerilla gardening, pencil portraits, climbing mountains, wind turbines, industrial music and wine, but any and all of that could be different by next month. Probably not the wine, actually.

Who I'd like to meet:
People! People I agree with, people I disagree with, mainly folk who'll make me laugh. Or think. Or whatever.
