Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

'Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan'...
Sooo yes, I love music.

I have a black/sarcastic sense of humour, but I'm generally a glass half full person (though the glass may be half full of gin).
'Stop enjoying your heart attack'- as said to me by my first aid course tutor.

I love reading, prolly spend too much of my life at gigs, use prolly instead of probably but hate txt spk, I want to learn Spanish (properly) and how to play the drums.

I love travelling, but have an eternal tug-of-war between loving being at home and being away.

Due to what I do for a living Scientologists hate me - which is fine with me.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

By day: Admin dealing with doctors - I pray I never get ill as I've had more sensible conversations with 5 year olds than some doctors I work with.

By night: Gigs. At times I write about these gigs and people read what I write online ...weird.
