I'm a bit daft, but mostly a pretty chilled-out girl (this may or may not mean lazy, but I have been known to wear my pajamas for an entire weekend) and I can usually be found either reading or watching a DVD when I'm not propping up the bar with a Southern Comfort and lemonade. I prefer dogs to cats, Futurama to The Simpsons, and my New Year's Resolution is to actually wear all the hats I keep accumulating. What occasion calls for a bright red cowboy hat?

I have M.E. which means I am not terribly mobile a lot of the time, but I can be counted on for online chats, coffee meetings and the odd night out. Just don't expect me to dance on any tables!

And this should go without saying, but somehow it never does: being bisexual does not mean I want to have a threesome with you and your boyfriend/girlfriend. Flattered, really, but not my thing. Keep it clean, please!

Right now I am in a monogamous relationship and really only looking to expand my social circle and make new friends.

I'm waiting for my real life to begin. Or insert some other dopey song lyric ripped from one of those super-deep tear-jerking Scrubs montages. Oh my God, you guys! This time ALL THREE OF THEM DIED! :*(

Accumulating useless information and remembering ancient plotlines from tv series (such as when Josh from Neighbours pretended to be blind because he liked having Lucy wait on him hand and foot - why do I remember this crap and yet have forgotten just about everything I learnt at univeristy?). Also I can raise both eyebrows independently of the other, which I use to make myself look either scholarly or sarcastic as the mood takes me.

Hmm, I don't know. My stupidly-long hippie hair, possibly. Especially if I've brushed it that morning.

Books: Watership Down by Richard Adams, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman, The Hours by Michael Cunningham, In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O'Brien, Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Also I am a fan of a variety of graphic novels whose authors are legion or beyond my current ability to recall, such as Y: The Last Man, The Authority, Tank Girl, Hellblazer, Strangers in Paradise and Preacher.

Films: Aliens, 28 Days Later, Pan's Labyrinth, The Hours, Jaws, The Lord of the Rings, Kevin Smith films (yes, even Jersey Girl... to an extent), Let the Right One In, Hardcore Logo. Also, practically any stupid film that has a bunch of disparate people getting picked off one-by-one by werewolves, vampires, dinosaurs, or any other nasty beastie.

Music: Tori Amos, Sugababes, Tom McRae, Britney Spears, Girls Aloud, Erykah Badu, Siouxsie and the Banshees, *NSYNC, Heather Nova, Fiona Apple, Basement Jaxx, Babybird.

Food: Chow mein, strawberries, chocolate pennies in little orange plastic string bags, bacon sandwiches, scones, millionaire shortbread, raspberries.

What I would do in the event of an apocalypse. Especially, if said apocalypse took the form of a zombie invasion. Also, I like to make lists in my head when I get bored or can't sleep. Lists such as Ten Best Superpowers, Five worst British accents in American Films/TV, Ten Celebrities Most Asking for a Punch in the Baby-maker.

When I'm being halfway serious, I do like to think and have discussions about the ways race/gender/sexuality/disability and other are portrayed in (or omitted entirely from) the media and popular culture. If you think such concerns are boring or get offended at the notion that a little diversity in our media entertainment would be nice. Well. I don't think you and I are going to get along.

... I don't know? Depends what my friends are up to, I suppose. Maybe I'll take a crack at that knitting I was meaning to get on with.

Few things in this life annoy me more than people who use "lol" as punctuation and type as if they have lost most of their fingers to frostbite. I don't care if it's the internet and not an essay - rite lik dis an' i fink u is a maroon.

You too like making lists in your head (as long as they're not lists of people you intend to actually murder: I can't help you there). Or just if you're bored and like chatting about science fiction, daft films, comic books and whatever else gets you through the day.
