Interests include Music (anything and everything, except Alvin and the Chipmunks), Reading, the Occasional glass of wine, Cooking, looking after the people in my life.
Music
My favourite iPod setting is Rock/Anything (interspersed with Classical) Shuffle.
Movies
Possess a wide selection of DVDs and CDs. Top film WAS Star Wars, now I must say Fight Club... Top directors could be the The Cohen Brothers, Gueillermo Del Toro & Takeshi Kitano (I have a very good friend to thank for opening my mind to the wonders of world cinema).
My past recommendation
A Matter of Life & Death
My upcoming recommendations
Daywatch & Sunshine
Television
I watch too much of it and its aaaaaalllllllll rubbish!!!! (with the exception of Family Guy & American Dad. I have much time for Seth MacFarlane's take on life...)
Books
As for books, Pratchett, Pullman and the Oxford English Dictionary are highly rated.
Heroes
Those amongst us who respect the fact that this is a one-shot gig and live according to a set of principles that fulfil their requirements to be well-rounded individuals.
Female, Irish, 31, 5ft 3in, left-handed, PhD, guitarist (part-time), singer (when no-one's around), down-to-earth (most of the time), sensitive (but not easily ruffled), diplomatic, animal lover. Hope that's enough....
One amazing thing I have seen or done: I have yet to find anything that measures up to the moment I left home to start college in another country (but that could be a sign that I am letting myself get old.....)
*****Open your mind to the wonders of your daemon and meet mine at www.ascentofmonkey.com*****
I am experimenting with my music and I know I have a LLLLLOOONNNGGGGG way to go..., but you can't stop me from doing something I love!! In my defence, I am true to me and write what I feel... The songs are all my own, and I am hoping that the voice and guitar playing will come into its own in time. (*All song material copyrighted*).
Incidentally, I discovered a rather useful website for those of you who believe in the Vertical as well as Horizontal Growth of your guitar playing. Have a gander at www.guitarprinciples.com.
Who I'd like to meet: My previous life incarnations to see if I have actual made any personal improvements (or if I have always had a big bottom throughout the ages...).
Despite my gender, I consider myself an uncomplicated creature so appreciate it when I meet people of a similar disposition.
Animal from The Muppets..., seeing as Keith Moon is no longer on this celestial plane...
The photo above represents a species of mammal for whom I have a lot of time. I am pleased to say I have met two of the people (Lone Dreisher Neilsen & Michelle Desilets) behind the campaign to save them and their habitat in Borneo. If you are curious as the Orangutan (and you should be, because we have a lot in common with them), click on the image above to find out more.
hope you're having a good tuesday:) it's a bit rainy
and gray here.
Just thought I'd say hi and wish you well for the rest
of the year! only something like 47 more weeks left now...

kills himself for love. just wondering what you think.
It's sad, but, he's cute. :)
