AAAAAALL of them. acting, film, drama based things. music. books. puppet making... and so on in that general direction- what happens next, people, buckets, chocolate, being in plays, singing, not having to speak to people in real life when i'm too tired to string a bunch of words together to make an understandable sentence, cheese n onion flavoured potato based snacks, hiding under things, not falling over, whiskey (those last two are only slightly related), really old carousels, kittens, going to gigs, dancing like a monkey, music boxes, being happy, cartoons, paris (the city, not the silly bint of the same name), pina colada, getting caught in the rain, makeup and lots of it, giant hair, oldschool goth and punk clothes (stuff with holes in it that you find in charity shops and stick back together with safety pins in other words :D), really big shoes, film noir, things, shiny stuff... etcetera etcetera etcetera.

CARTOONS!! the simpsons, family guy, south park, futurama, invader zim, robot chicken, harvey birdman, the boondocks... scripted comedy- yes, minister;
black books, M.A.S.H. (alan alda has got to be one of the coolest people ever. it is one of my many ambitions in life to give him a hug before one of us dies), fawlty towers, porridge, frasier, cheers and so on. topical comedy shows: have i got news for you, the panel, mock the week etc. i love murder she wrote- that oul' one was clearly on a killing spree from the get go... the father dowling mysteries are pretty good too. i've been watching a lot of drama recently though- house, numb3rs, medium and law and order to be specific, all brilliant. political satire by the likes of jon stewart with the daily show and stephen colbert with the colbert report are pure genius. and yes, i watch coronation street ok?! ;)

About me: so i'm chloë. hi. :) i'm a full time actor these days, i trained in the gaiety school of acting doing various courses over several years and i've just finished the advanced performance year there. i also studied theology in trinity college but i defected in order to pursue my true vocation. or something along those lines. i have many and varied pastimes, some of which include watching countdown of an afternoon, making clothes, watching paint dry, remembering funny things on the bus and laughing out loud by accident, going to the theatre, cooking stir fry, being startled when people walk towards me, staring into space and so on. you can use any of those as a possible conversation starter if you like. anyway i suppose if you really want to know, ask. it feels so impersonal writing things to a vast empty space for some reason... :P
You're Devi! Bad people happen to you more than is normal. You must live a cursed life.
