ABOUT ME

My friends would probably describe me as being someone with always something interesting to say that grabs their attention (for good or evil).

I pride myself on my dark, dry, cynical and occasionally outrageous sense of humour. I can always see the darkly funny side of (almost) everything. Then again, if I can only see a lightly funny side in something, I'll use that too. Whatever the tools are at my disposal.

I tend to improvise and just use things around me instead - which can be far funnier. Either that or rip off lines from a stand-up comedian I've just seen and hope you won't notice ;-)

Film is an absolute passion of mine - sitting in a darkened room totally sucked into the vision or the story on-screen is just about one of the best ways to spend an afternoon. Then talking about it afterwards!

Music-wise, I tend to know what I like when I hear it - prior to that it's a bit of an eclectic mish-mash, from the Pet Shop Boys to Garbage to Propellerheads. Which is best, I think - who wants to be a close-minded snob about something like music when it's supposed to liberate you?

I've got a little of the ol' wanderlust in me. I've lived in West London, Bradford, Baton Rouge, Cardiff, travelled all over the world (Vietnam, Egypt, Hong Kong to name but a few) and lived in the United States for a year. But I'm equally at home playing silly games and watching music videos, or reading The Guardian. Sometimes both - it's amazing how flexible my fingers can be :-)
