Well Umm. Strange how your entire life disappears when you need to describe yourself.
Um well I’m strange and have an eclectic taste in...everything. Not a huge fan of biographies but i did enjoy reading Michael J Fox's Book (the first one, still haven’t started his second) so anything is possible. I HATE HISTORY BOOKS!! I don’t mind a bit but the whole thing just gets tediously bogged down in the minute facts that most people aren’t really interested in. But I did try and find something on the woman the 'The Private Papers Of Eastern Jewel' was based on. Unfortunately virtually nothing is really known about her except she was tried and hanged (or shot I forget) for treason against her adoptive country.
Anyway enough about books this is supposed to be about me.
Well I live in a small village/town and I work in a book shop (heaven except most of my wage goes back into it) and I’m currently working and hoping to start a course in teaching (told you I was eclectic).
Um I listen to a variety of music which is mostly influenced by my dad who is a musician and a murse (male nurse). Even though i have an eclectic taste for music i mostly listen to rock and some metal but its ever changing and expanding. Even though I was born in the late 80's (very late 80's) most of my great influences both literary and otherwise stem from that era and a few forwards and backwards.
I love art especially renaissance and romantics and I have dabbled a bit but not with any success (trying to get what’s in my head and actually having the skill to draw it are, so I found out the hard way, completely different).
I am the flat pack and DIY queen of my family which is no mean feat and I love reading (a bit obvious but hey ho).
I love to watch films but I also despair at their complete arrogance to believe that a book that has sold however millions could be made better by adding/taking away or completely altering characters/scenes and dialogue (Alan Moore’s league of extraordinary gentlemen being one but because of the wonderful Stuart Townsend I just consider it to be strangely coincidental that they have slightly similar plots). My passion for films also stem from my father as he working in a video store since I was *cough* years old.
I have a wonderful boyfriend and on writing this we have been together for 5 years and still oddly we can stand to be around each other without the need to kill taking over ;)
I am an animal person and have 3 cats and 3 chickens and a dog (family pets only 1 chicken and 1 cat are actually mine) and I have a very big family. Most of them are interested more in technology than reading but I’d prefer to be stuck in the Stone Age with a constant stream of books than to be staring at a computer screen for more than necessary.
Well that’s pretty much all i can think of really. Man that’s a lot of gibber.
If you have got this far congratulations and you deserve a pat on the back and you may now be my friend. Nah kidding I don’t know who you are...or do i.
Either way well done for putting up with my nonsense. Comments will be mostly disregarded or completely ignored unless your being nice :D
THANKS!
