Well, I think I was supposed to be a gay Englishman, but instead I'm a female playwright/actress/novelist/musician originally from Glendale, Arizona, spent the last five years in Pittsburgh, and am now transitioning to a Chicago state of mind, but eventually the UK will be my perminant residence. I love classic rock, movies, classic literature, comedy, rainy days, baseball
GO DIAMONDBACKS!!!!!
and pretty much anything having to do with the British. Getting tired of the British referances yet? If so, you probably don't want to talk to me. But if you can handle a true blue Anglophile and if you're extra special nice and interesting, maybe I'll put you in one of my books ;-) Man do I need to write more stuff in here! Seems like everyone's got huge paragraphs for profiles that tell you everything you could want to know about them! I think I work better under interview circumstances (wow, pretensious anyone?) So if there's anything you wish to know about me, please feel free to ask. I'll make sure to do the same for you ;-) But if you really are interested in the my everyday thoughts and actions, check out my blog here: MY BOWIENET BLOG
You can't leave comments on it, unless you're a Bowienet memeber, which sucks, but hey, when you really think about it, isn't David Bowie really more important than you, and shouldn't he get money from people who just want to post on my blog? Well, if you do want to comment on something I've written there, just post it here and it'll all work out in the end. Awe, I love happy endings. (Disclaimer: My version of a happy ending is where no British people were killed or accused of evil doings. If only movies worked that way...)
Thank you kindly my angel. Went out with my best friend Jim, and had a couple of beers and a wee bit of wine. So, not entirely plastered, but quite "relaxed". And just so you know for next time, I'll have an ice cold pint of Guiness, if you're buying. Have a lovely weekend, speak to you soon. Soupy Twist. xx
Hello my lovely. Are you aware of Mr Stephen Fry's new PODGRAMS. The greatest living actor/comedian/writer/credt card fraudster and all round fluffy fun bundle, now has a podcast available from i-Tunes. (Other download sites are available) Go on, get downloading. Soupy Twist. x
hey! I am SUPER psyched! I hope I make it in time...I stupidly drove to work today, and the roads are atrocious! So I'm going to drive home, and then take the bus to your place. I watched the season 3 finale last night to get caught up again. I had almost forgotten how I do love this show. I even got choked up when Charlie died. I knew it was coming! I'm a loser. But I will see you tonight, and yes I agree with Missy- no talking until commercials!!
Happy Birthday Jess!!!Hope you have a great day! So, next Sunday root for the Giants because they have a former Steeler...hey it's the best we can do this year. i miss polamalu. and doing glitter gold eyeshadow with you...hahaha.
No! I totally need to. Hmm...Maybe that's how I'll spend some time this weekend. It's at 7pm this Thursday, right? I've ben here over a year and I still have to second guess what time shows come on. A Lost viewing party sounds oh so fun. Count me in! Are they going to show anything about last season leading up to it like last year??
Are you geeking out about the LOST season 4 premier??? I AM!!!! I'm so excited:) I just wanted to share that with you b/c we share a common love. Hope you're doing well!
