Television
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

About me: about me... i'm a person who generally considers complete sanity to be a boring (and therefore not worthwhile) state of existence. i aim to live life to the full (and have lots of fun along the way). i'm an obsessive person, though my obsessions tend to change quickly and easily. i mostly just get obsessed with my current fav artist (renoir), music (kaiser chiefs), writer of: poetry (sylvia plath), short stories (roald dahl), blogs (greta christina), philosophy (friedrich nietzsche).
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Who I'd like to meet: people, i suppose... still not too fond of the animal species, save for the dog who adopted me, which, i suppose, is why i am called his "mummy"...
people can be interesting though....
