Writing, talking, shouting, music, little tiny ducklings, lego, cars, etc. I'm crap at pretty much anything involving strenuous physical involvement, except drunken dancing (which everyone is good at). I just learned how to bake cakes, which is a double-edged sword as it's fun but fattening. I also like shopping (even without buying stuff) because it can almost count as exercise and sometimes you get given free samples of stuff. Oh, and I forgot to mention that fancy dress parties rule and everyone should have one for every event. One of my main loves is travelling; there's nothing like getting away from my everyday life and seeing a different view from the window. Places I really enjoy are Las Vegas and Turkey, but I'd like to visit Thailand, Canada and Australia at some point. Just got to win the lottery first! As you can probably tell I love to write; there's nothing like talking using writing - it means that people can't fight back when you say something that pisses them off. I also like to ride my bicycle (but only to get to places - I don't understand how people see it as a pleasurable sport). I love driving, even moreso now I've replaced my beloved Fiat Cinquecento with a Ford Ka (which has novelties such as leg-room, a glove box and power steering). It's harder to spot in a car park though as it's silver and everyone has one!
Music
In no particular order...Nizlopi, Eels, Athlete, Zero 7, Maximo Park, Kasabian, James Morrison, OK Go, Snow Patrol, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, Lemon Jelly, Killers, Hard-Fi, Editors, Easyworld, Massive Attack, Damien Rice, James Morrison - you get the picture. I also like obscure funky house because it doesn't matter if you don't know the words to stuff because no one else does either.
Just in case you're sad enough to have never enjoyed this piece of music video genius, here's the OK Go video to A Million Ways -
OK Go Dancing In The Backyard
.. Buy the A Million Ways video at iTunes.
Movies
There are a lot, so I'll keep it short - South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Star Wars, Shrek, Dodgeball, Trainspotting, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Top Gun, Toy Story, Aladdin, Waynes World, Snatch, Team America, Billy Elliot etc.
Television
Well, this is quite a fiddly thing for me to talk about as I don't really watch much TV and when I do it's usually repeats of something I've watched before. For example, I must have watched every episode of Top Gear from the last 4 years at least 10 times. I blame this on UKTV's constant repeating of old episodes and the fact that I've taped them all/bought them on DVD. Same thing applies to my other favourite serieses - The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Spaced, Peep Show, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, QI, Bottom, Faulty Towers etc. Damn you, DVD box set creators! You're eating into my wallet and my sanity!
Books
Harry Potter, The BFG, anything by Jeremy Clarkson or James May, The Secret Garden, Adrian Mole (only the first two though), books about technology from the 50s, travel books blah blah blah - I'm not really a bookish person (although I wish I was; I just don't get the time). I also found an old Smash Hits under my bed, but binned it when I realised that the free stickers were no longer adhesive enough to use on my car dashboard.
Heroes
James May (the reason I got into writing).
Jeremy Clarkson (I'd just want to outsmart him about something).
Sabine Schmitz (that woman on Top Gear who drove like a genius in a diesel Jag and a Transit van).
Ok Go (for doing the Million Ways video).
The inventor of pizza.
The inventor of Post-it Notes.
Charlie Mopps (the mythical inventor of beer).
David Mitchell (for making deep-set side partings cool. Well maybe not cool, but mainstream).

I started life 24 years ago as a female human baby, and to be honest I haven't changed much since then (height-wise, at least). I got a degree in 2006, but it's yet to prove itself as having any value in the workplace whatsoever. I'd like to be able to say that I'm a shy and sweet young lady, but I'm actually an outspoken lager drinker that gets all angry at various articles in The Sun and says rude words out loud. However, I am actually a very nice person. No, really. My main aim in life is to have a Lego person made to look just like me. I know that sounds crazy, but I really love Lego! I live in the murky hellhole that is Croydon, and I'm longing for the day I can leave and live somewhere else. When I grow up I want to be a WAG (preferably to an actor or a famous musician) so I can spend all my time shopping and having sexy cars. Just so you know, my beer of choice is Corona with a lump of lime and my spirit of choice is Malibu with pineapple juice. I also really like chocolate covered strawberries and marzipan. Now have a look at the pictures of me, learn my face, then come find me in random Croydon pubs and get me a drink. Cheers!
Who I'd like to meet: James May (he is a journalistic genius), Mike Myers (comic mastermind), Jeremy Clarkson (I'd try to get him all riled up about something really trivial), and that Australian bloke on telly who gets animals all wound up by poking them (yes, I know Steve Irwin has now passed away, but he lives on in spirit). I spose I'd also like to meet Russell Brand, just so I could sing him my jingle for the radio show (there's a competition for the best attempt). I want to hug David Mitchell (doesn't everyone?). In real life I'd like to meet people who have to deal with the same everyday crap that I do (epilepsy, being a bit slow, being scared of Curly Wurly bars, having to endure mockery from people who think that a 24 year old girl playing with Lego is weird etc), and that enjoys doing stuff that I like too.
