I'm shy and bold, creative and logical, adventurous and lazy, messy and a perfectionist. sometimes reckless often careful, enjoy walking up mountains and flopping on sofas. I love music and art and most things creative. I'm kind and gentle and easy going.

I'd like to meet someone to do fun and creative things with, to visit museums, eat donuts, have pillow fights, and stop me from watching family guy, along with all the usual cinema, nice meals/sofa/movie, pubs and nightlife (though these days I'm more likely to dance around the kitchen than a nightclub). Be great if you're creative and clever and kind and full of life, and slightly quirky...

For a living I stare at a computer screen, move pixels around, drink coffee and make everyone tea... actually I'm fortunate to have a lovely job...

I love to make mostly chilled electronic music and acoustic with occasional gigs and have played in a few bands.

I shoot loads of photographs

Watching the entire series of battlestar gallactica with my housemates...

going to tiny festivals. the smaller the better.

oh and recently came back from 3 months sabbatical in Africa

[listening] (and at times giving advice), computers, massage - (trained and I'm told I'm a natural!), playing guitar and keyboards badly and then fixing it all on a computer. I make a lovely cappuccino. smiling.

my red hair, unless I'm wearing a hat or fancy dress in which case my hat or wig

books... The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time, Alice in Wonderland, The Hitchhikers's Guide to the Galaxy (infact anything by Douglas Adams), The Lord of The Rings, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, I'll think of more. Currently into John Wyndham's early stories.

films... Star Wars (the first film I ever saw in the cinema!), Pulp Fiction, Monty Python's Life of Brian, The Third Man, Some Like it Hot, Brazil, Blade Runner, L'Atalante and most Quentin Tarantino films.

music... A huge range of tastes including some oddball electronic stuff as well as the usual singer songwriter songs, including in no order Four Tet, Boards of Canada, Nirvana, Squarepusher, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Aphex Twin, Air, Philip Glass, Autechre, Metric, Manu Chao, Bowie, Sly & Robbie, Dylan and Pink Floyd.

food... pasta with homemade pesto, thai food, pancakes, curry, fresh coffee, I'm 90% vegetarian and a fan of organic fair trade but I still eat a little meat. Apparently I have a typical Aquarian trait of throwing random ingredients together with equally random results, though I do a good thai.

In no order...friends, fresh coffee, some kind of arty creative outlet (and that can be music, doodling, painting, drawing etc. :) ), cycling, music, love.

everything and anything. examples include: Why my plants need so much water. Where my personality awards come from. What my real height really is (I haven't measured in a while). Why my local council don't do cardboard recycling. What to paint on my canvases. Whether I could afford an eco friendly car (I currently share a car, which is one step in the right direction). Why motorway roadworks never seem to have anyone working on them. Whether bleaching my hair would be fun and attract a different type of woman(!). Why there are so many lovely people in Leicester. Why some people make me serious and others silly. How to improve my wizard outfit for the next fancy dress event. Composition in design and photos. What to cook for dinner (I like variety).

Meeting friends for drinks or escaping london for the weekend. Or sometimes just going home, cooking a nice meal and flopping in front of tv.

nothing today...

you think we might get on
