im into music in a big way; well ,for a girl. cos girls know NOTHING.seriously, they're pretty rubbish!
but anyway, i'd like to think i knew alot about what i care about; music being top of the list.
other than that, my other obsessions... vintage arcadia, penny machines, coin-operated fun, british seaside nostalgia, donald mcgill postcards, military uniforms, hats, s.s.adams, johnson smith and co catalogues, h.fishlove, old joke shop gags...
Music
the band that first made me LOVE music, the band thats sure to stay with me forever is..

...more to be added soon...
my profile used to be very very serious and far too long, much to the suprise of most people, this is the shortened, less miserable version!...
what am I up to these days?...
well...
im studying interactive arts at mmu...its quite wonderful/terrible...
other than that, the usual wonderful mix of dancing about or sitting in my bedroom listening to some wonderful music. Because im great.
erm…
i take myself far too seriously
i like to dress up alot. particular as my favorite music heroes... it used to be Robert smith long ago, the Morrissey/gary numan.. but yeah… lots of militaria makes me happy!
i love receding hairlines on young men. Loads.
i really really love 80s electronic/synth/stupid stuff, it really is my life.
at the moment I have a mega problem with in nowhere indie clubs that look down on me because im a girl so obviously no JACK SHIT about music. Piss off! Big fish in a small pond syndrome methinks.
i however, am gonna kick arse one day and i can laugh at them because i won't be playing the music, i'll be making it, recording it, performing it... YES!
i hate it when people thinking im joking about dead serious stuff
i hate that NOBODY seems to get it
i hate that everyone thinks 80s music is a joke or the best thing since calvin fuckin harris did that SHITE song
german electronic voices. WOW
put your snobbery to bed...
look down on snobs - call them twats for being so anti-you. but hate scrubbers as well. posh twats and stupid scrubbers are equally fucking ignorant and rubbish. however, at least rubbish scrubbers have an excuse - they're often uneducated. come on mr.suited and booted private school boy? whats your excuse for being a complete fucking TWAT!
i find black people unattractive - this doesn't make me a racist
i find asian people unattractive - the same applies
i think religion is refuge for the cowardly and silly; i would never judge you for your choice to follow it.
however - more fool you!
i think i am more intelligent than most people i know.
i AM more intelligent than most people i know. But its no good thing.
i am not 'funky' or 'cool'. i am, however, brilliant. FACT.
i swear 2 much. its disgusting.
i love it.
i am obsessive.
i am !A! romantic - i am not romantic.
i am cynical
...and rightly so.
I have my issues. but there’s blogs for that.
i am a walking contradiction. i quite possibly have some sort of personality disorder. this is frustrating but better than being you... i should imagine.
i am loud and destructive. i am thoughtful and complex.
i get spat on far too often for my liking.
i am one of the best dressed people you are EVER likely to meet.
i care too much
i love too hard
be foolish. be a comedian. be a rockstar. be an intellectual. be serious. dance well. dress well. be a man.
i don't understand my life. and i don't particularly enjoy it.
challenge me... i enjoy it.
i wear army jackets and boots, it makes me feel good.
my headphones are the ideal size - thankyou very much.
no. my glasses don't have lenses... but thanks for pointing it out.
i hate people with no good reason. its one of many personal flaws i am well aware of. thankyou.
i am very much a snob. but very much 'anti-posh'. this makes perfect sense.
most of my friends are bitches and liars.
others are nieve and/or socially inept.
a few. are brilliant.
if you are a well dressed man that can carry off a nice pair of riding boots. where do i sign?
romance.
weird stuff.
militaria
quiffs
...more to come... feel free to post suggestions for the list...
'cunt', 'arrogant snob', 'loser' - its all worth posting! more fool you for reading the fucking list
Who I'd like to meet:
...oh tons of folk... but most of them are probably sadly past their prime/dead...so yeah... erm... past their prime.
beautiful men like...
dave gahan
billy mckensie
green gartside
nick cave

...so yeah... people like this!
I sure don't Lora, sowee.....ha, it seems so many people these days are going over there.....I have only been getting online maybe once a month here lately but only because I do not have ISP right now but in the coming month I do finally plan to get my own place {again, and for good!} and so then I will finally have regular internet again, yey.....heh, heh, heh.....
i know, what on earth happened to myspace?? i still use it loads! and, i much prefer it to facebook as it's more colourful and less pervy - and when i put it like that how could anyone disagree?? xxx
Heyyy Lora, I just noticed you were online and so decided t ohave a gander at your profile, and may I just say, amazing! Wierd! Wonderful! Strange! Serious! But most of all, well said! I couldn't stop reading it! Well I think I'll stop kissing your bum now and get back to work lol! See you soon x
knowing you this is probably in your favourites already, but it's worth a try! hope you didn't get too swept of your feet last night - i'd hate to think people were doing my job for me. today i accidentally bought a nice little casual beige 70s jacket - complete with pointy collar, camouflage detail and a tag on the pocket that simply says 'outrageous'. sigh - how sweet! xxx
alright miss. :) just checking your still on for going manchester tomorrow, i'll give you a bell in the morning think i'm heading into town for 10ish something like that xxx
I am doing okay, Lora, thank you.....things are V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y coming around all around but they still are, nonetheless.....oh, that sounds like *quite a lot* you went through with the surgery! I do sincerely feel for you.....and I really do wish you the speediest of recoveries, aye. The group does seem a bit slow, I have noticed, but it still rocks! -Lu |m|^_^|m|
