As well as being a film geek, comedy connoisseur and indie-type music afficionado, my interests include reading (books, blogs, fanfiction), writing, going to gigs, eating out, seeing stand up comedy (Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, Daniel Kitson and many others), magic, plays, homoerotica/slash, wearing eyeliner, polka dots, travelling the world (a tiny bit at a time), tickling my dog, singing badly, drinking wine, staying up late, watching reality tv shows then feeling guilty about it, playing computer games, philosophizing, daydreaming, doing blog quizzes, Twittering...

About me:
Hello. I am Louise - a strange and sad young lady lost in the supermarket of life. Or something. I studied philosophy at University and now work in a bank.
How on earth did that happen?
I am open minded, cynical, creative but lazy, socially inept, easily distracted, terrible with money, unusually fond of punctuation and am prone to short-term obsessions with things.
Oh, and I have penis envy. But I'm a nice girl, really.
Who I'd like to meet: WHO I'D LIKE TO MEET...Possibly....
Friendly yet cynical types
people who like a good old moan
men who can have girl friends without them being girlfriends
girls who don't like chick flicks
self-deprecating individuals
anyone with a sense of humour (not necessarily a good one)
Time divides the paths we walk,
We do not see each other's fork,
Each has our vision maimed and short,
Yet fate is feeling without seeing,
The sense the paths we walk.
Time divides the paths we walk,
We're torn to tread a different fork,
Each has our vision tears and joy,
Yet fate is harder without barter,
The Seance of paths we walk.
Hey,Louise! This day came this year,too...=)yay! I sent a E-mail to your hotmail.check it please =) Btw,Can you see it?My voice might be somewhat small...

But,,,I delete a some pics...sorry.
I presented it to BECK and the member in those photographs autographing it...
It is an opposite act usually lol!
I was crazy...hahaha.
yeah,I certainly encountered BECK directly.
And, it talked a little and the autograph was gotten.
He was kind though he was after all a very mysterious person.
He took my photograph...why?
This is an opposite act usually too lol!
