Movies

Television
Peep Show, Heroes, Pushing Daisies, 24 (thinking about it, this is pretty much the only thing I like that's even vaguely manly), Black Books, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Torchwood, Doctor Who, stuff about the Middle Ages on BBC4, and I'd Do Anything. Eclectic, me?
Books
Yeah, I quite like 'em.
Brighton Rock, Brideshead Revisited, The Great Gatsby, Starter For Ten, and that Shakespeare guy. He was alright.
I'm one the submissions editors for a poetry magazine at Pomegranate.me.uk and if you don't already hate me for it shot me a holler and we can talk about iambs and shit.
About me:
I used to be pretty emo. Now I just listen to a bunch of nasal men yelling about Catholicism and pirates.
I'm not really that interesting so I'll let the music do the talking: you can stitch me together from my favourite songs.
We were born within an hour of each other/Our parents said we could be sister and brother.
When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers/and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees. My feet followed my eyes and found the door/I wish I didn't have to hang out here anymore.
Then Cathy showed up and we hung out/Trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean/Locking eyes, holding hands/Twin high maintenance machines. There are nights when I want you/I want you so much I could bust/I know a thing about lovers/Lovers lie down in trust. And in a darkened underpass I thought 'oh God my chance has come at last'/But a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask.
She was so suspicious of the supper I served her/One man's meat is another man's murder. Far away our parents slept in/And as we watched our fire burn/They dream of nothing and got nothing in return. Lost in fog and love and faithless fear/I've had kisses that made Judas seem sincere.
You said you looked less like the Venus de Milo/And more like your mother in a straitjacket/I think it's great that you're doing fine now/But enough is enough, and I've had enough. Love's got a ghetto and it wouldn't be wise to walk alone in the dark there. Love is for songs played on slow guitars. Love is a lie. I'm a liar.
Is your child hyperactive? Or is he perhaps a twat? I saw two shooting stars last night/I wished on them/But they were only satellites/It's wrong to wish on space hardware/I wish, I wish you'd care. The sky too is folding under you/And it's all over now, baby blue. I am a writer, writer of fictions, I am the heart that you call home/and I've written pages, upon pages, trying to rid you from my bones.
Who I'd like to meet:
A girl whose name ends with a consonant. Seriously, say any normal girl's name with O'Brien. They all end in vowels, it just doesn't WORK.
I equate love and friendship with knowing the same songs, so I'd also like to meet anyone else who wishes they'd written 'Mis-Shapes' or Joe Dunthorne's 'Sestina For My Friends'.
Not to mention John Darnielle, Craig Finn, Colin Meloy, Will Sheff, and you if you know who they are.
