: About Me

Favorite Music:
Ambient, emotional, really cool bands;
whistlin', hummin', clappin' me hands.
.. and Good lyrics.

Favorite TV Shows:
Waking the dead, Silent Witness, Spooks, Medium, Desperate Housewives, Big Bang Theory, Skins, many that have gone to their grave or moved to a channel I can't get... Ally McBeal, Sex in the City, Northern Exposure - and loads more

Favorite Movies: Yet to see it...

Favorite Books:
Pretty shallow when you think of all the great books in the world - but I like books written for 'big children', those that contain short stories and great illustration. - Like Varmints by Helen Ward & Marc Craste; The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Dave McKean; Twenty Five December Lane & The Tin Forest both by Helen Ward, and illustrated by Wayne Anderson. My long time favourite small book of life, that I think all teenagers should read is Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, then followed by Illusions both by Richard Bach.

Favorite Quotes:
'It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.'
Woody Allen, Without Feathers, 1976

'How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?'
Woody Allen
