Music
Is good. Unless it's bad. Then it's bad....
Movies
I like them but I never have time to watch them. It's a conundrum. Anything with Audrey Hepburn I suppose. Funnyface and Breakfast At Tiffany's. Sigh...
Television
I have one in my bedroom collecting dust. *newsflash: it got knocked over and now won't even turn on. I blame Paul even though he maintains it was me. I blame him for lots of stuff...*
Books
Anything and everything. I love words. Love them. I hate poor grammar, be warned.
Heroes
Hunter S. Thompson, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Vivienne Westwood, Dr Alexander Shulgin.
About me: I'm a ballerina, an idiot, the person most likely to answer the phone at four in the morning. I'm one half of the DJ duo 'Pretty But Drunk'. I like to write but I can't keep to deadlines. I'd like to be glamorous but I suspect I shall always be a teeny bit grubby. And I'm fairly sure that I'm probably having more fun than you.
When I grow up I'd like to be Hunter S. Thompson. Failing that, Oscar Wilde. I like words. Tell me a story please? I'm also awfully fond of a party. High-brow, low-brow, mono-brow... I'll go anywhere that might have Irish whiskey and creative types chewing the fat. And dancing, how I do love dancing...
