View from my window. It's a pretty rock and roll neighbourhood as you can see

My main talent is an excessively good memory. School, conversations, useless information; it all goes in and never gets out. Can be useful, can make me look like a stalker/ enthusiast for odd topics I couldn't care less about. Either way, an uninteresting talent.

My top 10 actors. Some major decision making was involved, I'll regret it all tomorrow.

1. Monty. The single greatest person who ever lived. If I had an imaginary friend it would be him.


2. Roger Livesey, Laird of Kiloran. "She walks in beauty like the night, only she's bicycling and it's daytime."


3. Tom Courtenay. Someone give the man a hug.


4. Jack Lemmon. I want to cry whenever anyone's mean to him. It's hard remembering what's fictional.


5. Warren Beatty.Quietly, hilariously terrifying.


6. Clark Gable. "Do you love her?" "YES! But don't hold that against me, I'm a little screwy myself!"


7. David Niven. That video says all that needs to be said.


8. Cary Grant. Easily the coolest comedy actor ever.


9. Michael York. Blue is his colour...


10. Terence Stamp, he of the ultimate scary eyes. Anyone ever tells me they collect butterflies; I'm running for the hills.

Done. That was stressful. I'm going to have to go and watch at least one film of theirs now, so long.

The last piece of art I did, probably over a year ago now, for my art gcse (really poor picture quality, taken sneakily with my phone before the end). This exam was one of the most terrifying parts of my education to date. 10 hours and one chance to get it right (eek!) I'd also managed to box myself into a corner of flipping miners on my project; who are some of the liniest people on the planet and impractically difficult to draw. I quite liked art at school but I'm not great and with all the busyness of a-levels haven't had chance to do more than some doodles and birthday cards since then.



My terribly modern family is far, far too complicated to have any photos or anything all together but never mind. I love my family, they're a little eccentric mostly.

Most recent photo of me which isn't already on this blog. All dressed up, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's style, for a friend's school thing.

My favourite actresses are more difficult to discern than my favourite actors. Not sure what it says about me but I don't get as enthusiastic about individual actresses as I do their male counterparts. There are lots I love in certain roles but very few who I consistently like.

Shirley Maclaine. For always being in things that make me laugh and cry like a baby.

Audrey. I don't think a girl exists who doesn't wish she was her.


Lillian Gish. Essentially invented film acting and had hair I've been obsessed with as long as I can remember.


Joan Fontaine. Aside from always being in films I love, she looks so much like my mum. It's the rabbit in headlights thing. :)

My preferences with actresses are pretty standard. I also love Julie Christie, Vanessa Paradis, Clara Bow, Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe, Gene Tierney, Vivien Leigh, Brooke Shields and Sissy Spacek to name a few.
