About
I'm not a logical person at the best of times, so I'm just going to throw facts and snippets around in no particular order and for no particular reason.
I am a writer (trying to absorb that now that it's down in black and white). Yes, I am indeed a writer, but I'm as amateur as they come.
I am fanatical about music - many different genres, and in reality I don't like pigeon-holing, but the main ones would be metal, industrial, hard rock, alternative rock and anything decent that ever came out of the decades spanning 1950-1980 (and there's a veritable feast to be had there). I am always, always listening to something, and if that isn't possible, I have a tune in my head. I think that's what lubricates my cogs.
I'm also fanatical about film, and especially horror movies. In addition to that I love a lot of pretty underground, cult type viewing, but I'm not limited in my tastes by any means. My preference in comedy is usually dark and I love anything that pushes the boundaries.
Anything else you want to know...just ask me!

by Em 3 days agoHope you feel better soon, glad the court case is all over for you now. Have a big glass of cold white wine and put your feet up. BTW, well done on winning the imagination workout, it was a really good entry, especially the small print! -
by Weens 3 days agoHurrah, good result. Now it's over you can relax more. I highly recommend a facial and massage. They have to be the biggest aid to relaxation going. -
by AlanP 3 days agoPleased to see you have settled your case. Going to court is very stressful and rarely worth the upleasantness. Try never to think about it again. -
by Weens 3 days agoWell done you. That's brilliant. You have the hardest part over now, so don't give in to temptation. As an ex smoker myself, I can tell you that the smell of it becomes so abhorrent, you can't stand being near anyone who is smoking and you can smell it on them even when they are not smoking. Keep it up, and good luck for today, although I don't think you need it Let us know how you have got on.

Stay calm in court. That's all you need to do. Take a book. Let us know how you get on.
