Books
Harlan Coben for an easy read (I have to like him because he signed a book 'To Helen, You Rock!'), Nick Hornby, Tony Parsons, Mark Haddon, Terry Pratchett, Anne Rice, Brian Lumley, Stephen King, Bernard Cornwell, autobiographies... Pretty much anything except soppy romance.
Heroes
See music. Basically anyone who can play an instrument (well) and/or sing (in tune). And people who stick to their morals and see things through.
Oh, and him...
So...me. Um... I like music and going to gigs. That's an understatement. I like making friends with real people on here. I live just outside Nottingham city centre which means I can walk/cycle to work with my mp3 player on, singing along like a lunatic.
I'm on facebook, but only make friends with people I actually know on there. I don't like it and I don't trust it. Maybe I just hate change. Anyway I'm quite happy here with my music, thank you very much. Speaking of which, I occasionally dabble in a bit of songwriting of my own. If you fancy a listen check the red guitar in my top friends.
Who I'd like to meet:
Me...10 years ago. Oh the wisdom that could be imparted... ;-)
And Neil Finn again...so that I prove my ability can to a sentence together string.
Hi Thanks for being a friend! How are you today? If you have a minute, Could you give our songs a listen on our page and drop us a comment.It would mean the world to us. Catch us on facebook too! :) Love Kiss Corona xx
Thanks for the birthday wishes Helen. I'm in sunny Florida at the moment so no. Lol. Hopefully I'll see him in derby later in the month. Or is it October? Can't quite remember!
