Small facts about me you never knew you wanted to know:
I went to school 'til I was 11, but now am Home-Educated.
And, I've been vegetarian all my life.

I go to a drama group every Thursday, run by a professional LAMDA (London Academy Of Music and Dramatic Arts) teacher. I'm working my way through LAMDA exams.

I am currently at a FANTASTIC summer 2 week drama course at the Mercury Theatre, where I'm having a wicked time. And stop doing the knee dance!
"It was... his knee. Yes, that's it..."


THINGS I OFTEN SAY:
And then I said, what fish?
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Wow - what a beautiful day.
Ok, ok, I'll be off the 'net in 5 mins! Just 5 more mins...
It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing.
FLY, you fools!!!
SHIBBY!
MELVIN??!?!
Are you local?
*mumble mumble* Stupid Ron Howard, didn't deserve to win... bloody Oscars... *mumble mumble*

His name... is George.
"Can I speak to him?"
No, he's dead. But! You can speak to him, through me. *pause* Now I am George.
"George?"
Yes.
"Is that really you, George?"
Yes it is, ask me a question!
"Oh, say my name, George..."
All right. *pause* What was your name?
"Annie"
Hello Annie, give us your wedding ring.
"What?"
Your wedding ring! Give it to Papa Lazarou...
"Why?"
I'm dead now, there's no point in keeping it! Come on!
"Oh.. are you all right George, are you happy?"
Yes, I am, it's nice in Heaven, you'll like it, oh.. I'm fading Annie, good bye!! Good bye!

The first thing I think when I wake up in the morning:
"No, Mr Bond! I expect you to DIE!!!"

Oh. Just a...dream.

Other pointless hobbit-related quizzes:

Sam is the faithful servant of Frodo Baggins. He cares an awful lot about his master and would probably give his life for him. Though Sam meets many marvelous people as he journeys with Frodo, he still wishes he was back home in the Shire.

Take the "Which Hobbit are you?" quiz created by Cora Black!

If I lived in Middle-Earth, it would be in: The Shire The rolling green hills, the springtime weather, and especially being surrounded by the ones you love makes the Shire a comfortable area for you. You love being surrounded only by the ones you care about, and you only desire this in an environment that is vast and open to nature, unlike in the cities or the caves. Take the "Where in Middle-Earth Would I Live?" Quiz by skepticism

I'm getting there. I don't suck, but I've got a ways to go.






Hmm...... fun......

My general beliefs about life and the world in general
Some people obviously won't agree with me, but then, that's what freedom of speech is all about.

PRO:
Vegetarianism, animal rights, gay rights (Section 28 - WHY??!), Home Education, Amnesty International... other things as well.

ANTI:
Conservative, BNP, GAP, Nike, Esso, NF, consumption of scorched animal carcass, Section 28, George W Bush (he is the most powerful man in the world, and he says things like:
"It's hardly rocket-science"
when referring to the NASA Space Program. Hmm...), War, Nuclear Bombs, any bombs, killing, Fox Hunting, religion
(well, not exactly anti-religion, but look at ALL the hate and war and fear and pain and suffering it causes!)
Education System, Monarchy (Do we really need them? What do they do?) and other things as well...

You know, sometimes I can get really upset when people say stupid, ridiculous comments like "that is so gay".
It is because of continued comments like that, and the institutionalised homophobia, helped along by Section 28 of course, that gay people in this country can't get married, adopt kids as a couple, etc etc etc.

Oh, that Tory guy who 'came out' - like that wasn't staged!
I have no doubt he is gay, but, seriously, all they want is to create a better image for themselves!
So, you want more gay people in the party, but you support Section 28?
How does that feckin' work??!!!

Every day is beautiful
As far as I believe, this is the only existence I get.
Maybe I'm the only person who does exist - nobody else can prove their existence anyway!

My point is, unless you're actually clinically depressed, do you want to spend your day being grumpy?

There are more important things in life like... truth, beauty, freedom and above all else, love.

Every day I think
"Hey-I'm still alive today. Lucky me!"

And you may think I'm kidding but I'm not.
I really do appreciate every single day.

Life is so precious.
*resists temptation to hiss "My precioussssss"*

I've just started meditating, have re-started my dream diary and have Feng Shui-ed my room.

Ah, I feel better...

I suggest reading Soul Searching by Sarah Stillman, if you're feeling a bit ... lost.
