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.

I try to live my life to have no regrets, and to not say 'What if'. Thus far it's all going pretty well.

Not sweating the petty things and not petting the sweaty things.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Dancing to songs before they've even started (ooh, freaky).
Cooking, apart from tofu which is in fact the devil's work.
Answering the question 'Who's this song by?'.
Cat herding.
Doctor herding (the cat herding is more fun).
Organising people other than myself.
Being both easy going and yet stubborn.
Not answering the question 'What's your favourite band?'- for when? and where? dancing? listening to in the shower? exercising? drifting off to sleep? There is *no* answer to that question.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

The funky hair(that's changed colour - again), the big smile (or cheeky grin, as it has been described)....if the first thing you notice is that I have grey eyes you win a cookie (except I told you ...so no cookies for you).

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

my cats, music/my ipod, chicken and sweetcorn in all their guises, books, laughter, black clothing.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Why I'm where I am and whether I should be doing something more ...or what gig I'm going to next.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

At a gig or slumped on the sofa watching television or reading a book.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I have a crush on Jimmy Carr - feel free to point and laugh.

I built this city on rock and roll (I know, what was I thinking? That's not a stable foundation for a city).

You should message me if Propose an edit

You want to ask me something? you want me to ask you something? you can explain the appeal of marmite to me? you love Weebl and Bob too?

You too find that 'Just for men' advert hella creepy...hair dye for when your kids are trying to pimp you out ...ewwww.

You can complete the lyric 'I can't be in love if it's plastic....' (without googling!). If you can - then it's destined for you to message me...

Any message is better than a woo.
