One of my favourite quotes from Oscar Wilde, "Only boring people are brilliant at breakfast", and it is quite true I believe. I am most animated at night anyhow.

I am here because I love to write and write and write about anything, but about music, and some theatre in particular. I am writing my thesis at the moment so my head is full of complicated things, but I will write my articles on the things I enjoy for some sort of respite from the complication:-)

So, a little bit about me, here are some of the things I like:

You will always be recieved warmly by me if you give me something that is old and has a story to it. An object. I like dresses and clothing that look old but actually aren't because it is often better to go for the old "look" rather than that which is "authentically" old, since materials can harbour all sorts of unsavoury particles, I have learned. I like women with faces that you can't tell whether they are ugly or incredibly beautiful. I like men with feminine features. I like elderly people who dress in clothes that were in the fashion when they were young. I like how I used to hate herbal tea but now I could not live without it. I like when you touch the skin part of a cat's paw and they look at you like you're a weirdo and then slowly walk way. I like to read thrashy novels and be completely entertained for a day and then never remember the story again. And lastly I like people who can spin a good yarn...
