My Interests |
|
| I travel, I read, I write... plus the usual punky geek interests apply: piercings, mohawks, toas, architecture and ripping the sleeves off perfectly good t-shirts. I like devil sticking, playing frisbee in the park and BBQs. I like drrrinking, dancing and being silly. I love language and philosophy and good conversation. In fact good conversation is probably the most important thing to me: intelligent, silly, intense, whatever. So long as it's good. | |
I'd like to meet:You wanna read my stuff? Check out my blogs for the briefest splash. COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! :o) ... |
|
Music:Big on electronica (especially German), funk, indie, rock, punk, ska, reggae, folk, country, experimental sound and wierd world music, but all said and done,I never say no to the occasional cheese. |
|
Movies:I like arty farty foreign films and old skool classics - Withnail and I, Labyrinth, Mary Poppins, Amelie... that kinda thing. |
|
Television:Documentaries and the occasional drama. But otherwise telly is best to be avoided. It sucks my brain out and then spits it back all mushy and chewed. Not great. |

You have to start with a bang, he said. He clapped his hands together when he said it. BANG, like that. You've got to make people want to read what you have to say, otherwise they're not going to ... Posted by em on Fri, 08 Dec 2006 06:22:00 PST |

An Unusual Birth (short story) |

It should have been beautiful.
I had always imagined it to be beautiful.

... nothing.
He must have danced, I... Posted by em on Tue, 09 May 2006 08:37:00 PST |
