About me

Gender Female
Occupation SAHM
Location West Midlands
Introduction Married, one tiddler who is now my full time occupation, deep thinking shy person until I get to know you, then I become loudmouth eejit (but still likeable), Soon to be full time university student - eek! - and harbourer of dreams...I want to live in an idyllic cottage a la Hugh Fearnely-Whittingstall and live the Good Life (which is one of my fave sitcoms) - quite how I will finance this move is something I have yet to work out. Daydream quite a bit (something to do with being Pisces maybe...?) am very messy and hot tempered but you can't have everything can you? The eyes are the windows to the soul, so they say. I think my vegetable plot says a lot about me too. It is messy in places, tidy in places and practical in places. There are pretty things and pretty ugly things; it is chaotic and charming and constantly "half done". I feel peaceful and satisfied there - it's a place with a good vibe.
Interests Since producing my offspring I no longer seem to have time for "interests" other than flopping in front of the evil tellybox in the corner with a large glass of wine of an evening. But I USED to enjoy: reading, writing, love music - as in listening to it, gardening, history, folklore, FOOD, the environment, genealogy - though never got far, vampires all things occult and slightly wierd, art, painting, making cards, photography, animals - (partic love cats), nature, wildlife, theatre...I think that will do for now.
Favorite Movies Pulp Fiction, Dusk Til Dawn, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Lost Boys, Braveheart, Plunkett and Macleane, Dangerous Liaisons, The Libertine, Witch Board, Elizabeth, Dogma and anything with Jay and Silent Bob in it, Rita, Sue and Bob Too, Educating Rita, Interview with The Vampire, Fight Club, Legend of Zorro etc, all the Harry Potter films, Witches of Eastwick, Practical Magic, Danny the Champion of the World....I think I could go on for days...
Favorite Music Adore, adore, adore Kate Bush. Also lately Seth Lakeman, Paolo Nuttini, Ray LaMontagne, James Morrison...like glam rock, also stuff like Marilyn Manson, Metallica, The Zutons, White Stripes, The Jam, Blondie, Sam Cooke, Madonna, Glen Miller, Norah Jones, Incubus, Aerosmith, Radiohead, The Verve, Rod Stewart, Gerry Rafferty, Bon Jovi - a diverse and eclectic mix I think!

How tall would you be if you had never cut your fingernails?

How the **** is height relevant to cutting your god damn finger nails. Stupid question.
