I am writing this because a toilet door told me to. Hope this is worth the effort. I’d love a reply if you can.

I am a film student so basically my main passion is film, my favourite directors are Danny Boyle, he is my absolute hero and the person I aspire to be. Followed by Stanley Kubrick and the Quentin Tarentino. Others I love are Ken Loach and John Landis. My favourite films are rather dark but they’re Trainspotting, A Clockwork Orange, Control (Biopic of the life of Ian Curtis), Pulp Fiction, This Is England. I could go on because my DVD collection takes up half a wall. But yeah, favourite actors are Heath Ledger, Sam Riley, Gary Oldman, The amazing Malcolm McDowell and the beautiful Ewan McGregor, Actresses are Uma Thurman, Audrey Tatou and Audrey AND Katharine Hepburn (My middle name is Katharine after her, so its kind of good I’m a fan). 
 
Musicwise I LOVE The Smiths, before 500 Days Of Summer. I saw Morrissey last summer in his big Manchester show and it was one of the best day of my life so far. I also love Oasis, Pulp, Joy Division,  Girls Names, The Beatles, Nirvana AND Hole (despite the fanwar, but I hate Blur so ho-hum.) Blondie, Alabama Shakes, Janis Joplin, Deap Vally, Haim, Peace, The Jam, Stone Rose and Jake Bugg. I like more but that would be reciting my iPod which is boring. 
 
I live in Manchester and do far to much to have a proper job, but I create original designs that I’m hoping to put onto canvas bags and sell to the Northern Quarter shops. I an currently assistant producer to a public service broadcast- unpaid but its my first professional thing so I am rather excited. :) I also manage an indie folk band named The Absolute Zeros, I wrote them a few songs and they sound pretty good if I do say so myself. I am also working at a theatre being an usher and selling ice cream -_- But I do have an audition to be a radio DJ in Salford so :D 
 
After a shit last year I can say that I’ve never been happier. Its since I’ve given up on academia and realised that I can have a future without being good at Maths and Science. I want people to remember me from leaving a pretty mark on the earth rather than being a pencil pusher. I was honestly close to depression, I cried myself to sleep most evening thinking I had no future but am all better now. 
*I get by with a little help from my friends* They’re called Eleanor and David and happen to be dating. I have a date next week with a rather cute boy who shall remain nameless. 
 
My favourites food is fried chicken, peanutbutter sandwiches, spaghetti, crumbly cheese, and gummy bears.
 
You should write on toilet doors more often, this was rather fun to do and I hope you appreciate it :)

Snowboarding – I love flying down a mountain really fast on my snowboard with an amazing view infront of me. it makes me feel free, and few things compare

travelling – I can’t think of anything better to do with my life than seeing as much as I can while I can. I love exploring new places, having adventures and particularly roughing it in budget hostels and ancient public transport

Painting/sketching – Lets me forget everything else and be creative

books – I love holding books just as much as I love reading them. in fact I have a habbit of stroking the pages as I read but I love it and find it really relaxing lol

writing – Lets me use my imagination, can be a great escape

Partying – I love parties with good friends, old friends, new friends – I love parties that last all weekend with good music, good conversations, making good memories and lots of photos. and booze :)

Sunshine – makes me feel happy nomatter where I am, could sit out in it all day

Beaches – I love being by the water, in the sun, in paradise and some of my favourite places in the world are beaches – Phi Phi-Thailand, Aranbol-goa, Ostional – Costa Rica

Films – I’m addicted to buying dvds, I have so many I can’t even count them. films I love I can watch over and over again.
