close About Me

Me, Myself, and I
It is my life’s ambition to do nothing, achieve little and surround myself with the talented, the witty, the young and the pretty to scoff at and drool over…

I write, but I dare not call myself a ‘writer’. I know a few very talented writers and it would be a direct insult to them, I assure you, for me to start getting about with such terms in regards to myself. I do write, nonetheless.

I am also known for sarcasm, acerbic tones, and wickedness. And a propensity to talk entirely out of my arse in an effort to talk myself up. Which is, physiologically speaking, as everyone knows, easier to do from arse level than anywhere else.
Music
My tastes are eclectic, but current playlist includes:
David Bowie
Powderfinger, particularly 'Internationalist'
Red Hot Chilli Peppers (pick an album, any album)
The Doors, 'Waiting for the Sun'
Silverchair's 'Young Modern' and 'Diorama'
And my favourite composer has to be Dvorak for the Second Movement of the "Symphony From the New World'
Movies
Oh! There are too many but my favourite film has to be Peter Greenaway's 'The Pillow Book'.
Interests
Poetry and Literature. Philosophy. Religion and all things that strike at the heart of what it is to be human. I have a great love of Art (all and any, provided of course that I like it) and those who create it.
Books / Writers
I can tell you that I love Jane Austen and my favourite book from my time as a child is 'Nicar, the White Deer'. I've a great love of Henry David Thoreau's 'Walden'. But I don't think I could live without Keats' poetry.
Favourite Quotes
"Resolve to find thyself; and to know that he who finds himslef, loses his misery."
Matthew Arnold

"It is a sign of your own worth sometimes, if you are hated by the right people."
Miles Franklin

"Matrimony, as the origin of change, was always disagreeable."
From 'Pride and Prejudice' Jane Austen

"It seemed to me that all over the world intelligent people were waking up to the indignity and absurdity of being endangered, restrained, and impoverished, by a mere uncritical adhesion to traditional governments, traditional ideas of economic life, and traditional forms of behaviour, and that these awaking intelligent people must constitute first a protest and then a creative resistance to the inertia that was stifling and threatening us."
From 'What are we to do with our Lives?' by H.G. Wells

"A good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit" John Milton

    OK. Let me tell you my SHIT news. I am told by my 13 year old student (always a good way to receive such news) that the son of my landlord is not enjoying his year in the south of France as much as he was hoping to, and so for a Christmas present will be getting to come home with his father six months early. Now it's not THAT bad, it's only six months. BUT.... *takes deep breath* WHAT SORT OF SPOILT SHIT-BAG 13 YEAR OLD TURNS AN ENTIRE FAMILIES LIVES UPSIDE DOWN OVER THE XMAS PERIOD BECAUSE THEIR OVER PRIVELIGED ARSE IS NOT HAPPY IN EUROPE AND THEY WANNA COME BACK TO WHITE-FUCKING-BREAD-TASMANIA!!!!!!!!????????

    I like your skin. Over all, I don't mind Bebo, I will admit, Facebook is easier to understand, but that being said, for how much longer will that last?
