About Me |
|
| Birthplace: Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
Childhood: Bulawayo & Harare, Zimbabwe.
Adolescence: Cape Town, SA.
Early twenties: La Coruña, Spain.
Late twenties to date: London, UK.
Seen a few things, done a few things, would like to do a few more things.
I probably do a lot more thinking than is good for the health.
I swear a lot. Especially whilst hoovering. 'Fuck' is such a talented word because it can be used in pretty much all grammatical forms. Noun, adjective, adverb; you name it, fuck does it. I admire that in a word.
I want people to be themselves around me. No airs and graces, no pretences, no bollocks.
My life up to now has gone in 8-9 year cycles, each in the different countries mentioned above. I've broken this tradition by remaining in my "UK Cycle" for a year longer than the norm and have that itchy-feet-feeling has developed into an overwhelming itchy-body feeling... Nearly 36, and still getting itchy feet? Is there a cream for that?
More than a little disappointed with humanity and my as yet undiscovered or unfulfilled role within it, so music, reading and writing is kind of cathartic for me while I trip, stumble and fall through life.
I hate all the games we're forced to play in order to kill the time we've been haphazardly allocated to spend on this planet. Tom Waits sums it up better than I can:
'The laws that govern your private madness when applied to the daily routine of living your life can coagulate into a collision.' And collide they do. |

My Interests |

| ..Music, Music, Music
The Moon
CURRENT MOON moon info Going to gigs Well-crafted works of fiction Writing, or yearning to more like People-watching Travelling (but who doesn't like it?) Awe-inspiring landscapes Language, grammar, punctuation Films that inspire some sort of inner reflection Cats, dogs & other four-legged beings Trees, I love trees (but I don't hug 'em) The winter sun on my face Sleeping Dreaming Dreamers Laughing & making others laugh Being in the company of those I love Diseases of the mind Tortured souls Eau de parfum Chocolate (addict) Tea (addict) Jack Daniels Oh, and did I mention MUSIC? |

I'd like to meet:HERE FOR THE MUSIC. Well, at least when I first signed up for MySpace I was. You know how Oscar Wilde's mother, Speranza, held a regular "salon", i.e. gathering of stimulating people of quality under the roof of an inspiring hostess or host? That's kind of what I wanted this space to be, but the other way round: a gathering of talented musicians who take their art seriously - as well as those who are, well, doing their best - who can inspire the hostess. And she requires MUSIC and lots of it ALL THE TIME.Things have moved on somewhat. Where I began my cyber-existence with only bands as 'friends', look, people have taken over!! Thanks to the groups I've joined and to the dynamics of this little cyberworld, I've met some damn fine people. Avid readers and thinkers. Music-lovers. Kindhearted folk. Selfless individuals. Inspirational souls. All scattered around the globe. So, completely unintentionally, the salon is full of bands AND people. Music AND friendship? I'm a lucky monster.Clock extract.. Add to My Profile | More VideosI don't search for people I may get on with; I prefer them to find me instead. One thing I do ask of anyone who feels they'd like to add me to their 'friends', how about sending me a wee message saying why... Kind of helps to establish the Girl Collectors from the Genuine Cyber-Friendship Requests... Also, it's a better cyber-icebreaker than just being another profile in a queue of friend requests... |

Heroes:..mother, father, sister & partner - they've all at some or other time sacrificed something for me & for that, I'm grateful Josh Homme for bringing the music home (See what I did there? Homme? Home? Awesome. Or pathetic.) TOM WAITS FOR BEING THE GOD OF MUSIC AND POETRY Fuck it, anyone who gives without expecting anything in return - that's true heroism. Egret for being the personification of the above line "Anonymous" for being the catalyst that inspired me to find the desire to live again. I will always be grateful. |
