I am snarky, witty, and picky.
My Self-Summary
I'm into
music, I
play piano and
sing,
and I can't be doing with spiders, one of which is crawling up my
wall even now. I'm a film addict, with special liking for the
utterly wonderful
Tim Burton and
Luc Besson, both of whom i
adore. I read all the time as well, with an eclectic taste ranging
from cheap tacky bestsellers like
Laurell K. Hamilton to
Jane Austen
and
Thomas
Hardy. er, i hope that's enough. ;)
What I’m doing with my life
ooh - update time. i am now in fact living in scotland! big
changes! no work right now, though. I'm waiting to find the thing
that i REALLY want to do with my life that isn't totally
unrealistic. I mean, a girl can't get by on baking cupcakes for her
friends and reading books, can she now...
I’m really good at
music. singing, playing, listening... I knit and make jewellery as
well, and you know knitting is fashionable again, so I'm clearly
right on the beat. or something. most of the other things i'm good
at probably shouldn't be mentioned in a public site.
The first things people usually notice about me
my eyes and my... assets. and how loud i am
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
A)
Memoirs
of a Geisha,
The Princess Bride,
Anansi Boys,
anything, in fact, by
neil gaiman, and non-fiction like
the
man who ate the world, which is very funny and classy. I also
make every effort to read Lord of the Rings once a year. And,
weirdly, I didn't steal that idea from Christopher Lee, I've been
doing it since i was about 13.
B)
Star Wars,
the
Princess Bride,
gone with the wind,
Lord of the
Rings, anything with
Sandra Bullock in it, because
she's amazing, and any
audrey hepburn movies
C) anything by
tori
amos,
seth
lakeman,
kate
bush, old
peter gabriel
D) chocolatey things. and pringles. also italian food. and thai.
and indian. not slimy things, though. so no silky tofu or oysters
or okra. and this morning, pancakes for breakfast, with loads of
cinnamon and just a teeny bit of golden syrup. I almost enjoy
cooking more than i do eating, but it's a very close call.
particularly with cupcakes. this week's recipe: Ginger cupcakes
with brown sugar icing.
The six things I could never do without
er.... Vaseline - that means lip balm, you filthy minded perve ;),
bottle of water (but filtered tap water put into a bottle, not
needlessly expensive and ecologically ruinous spring water),
notebooks, good chocolate, new shoes, and music
I spend a lot of time thinking about
knitting projects, finding a nicer job. and also about how
chemistry is very *very* elusive, but worth keeping looking for.
(and sometimes it really does come along... who knew?)
On a typical Friday night I am
likely to be watching movies, either at home or out in the big wide
world of the independent cinema
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
that i have a secret penchant for men with bad hairstyles...
You should message me if
you have a sense of humour, and i mean a real one. not just the
kind of sense of humour that laughs at people on You've Been
Framed. that's NOT a sense of humour.
