Introduction I tried blogging a while ago, it was fun at first but it was directed at a very small, very niche market... namely my two closest friends who pressured me to rant about my life anonymously. I wasn't good at censoring things back then. I could be very harsh, and I suppose the anonymity of it made it easier to be a cut throat bitch. For a while it was fine, I had no conscience about it. I thought I wasn't hurting anyone, but then I re-read the things I'd posted. Wow. I couldn't believe I'd become that person. So I stopped. But recently my lovely, intelligent, hilarious cousin encouraged me to start a blog. I don't think I have a great deal of wisdom to contribute to the blogging community BUT I do love films. I love them so much that my study is all about creating and analysing them. I am no scholar but as my life is fairly uneventful and I don't want to start a burn blog again, I thought I'd be an amateur film critic. I'll mostly be blogging on what I liked, didn't like about the films I'm watching for school. But I'll also slip in little anecdotes about my life if it ties in with the theme. I might rewrite this intro later... I got bored writing it... ugh!
Interests Art, Music, Movies (especially Wes Anderson films), books (especially Alice in Wonderland), dancing (especially my hauntingly beautiful 'sprinkler' move), avocado, giraffe's, high heels, designing and making my own clothes, people watching, stand up comedy, dreaming about Audrey Tautou, dreaming about Rupert Grint, dreaming about Tom Hanks, dreaming about Rosario Dawson, dreaming a bout Meryl Streep, pretty dresses, kittens, collecting novelty tshirts, making the same mistakes, starting over, venting, excel spreadsheets, beer, gin, the beach, driving my old knock-off jeep with the top down listening to WHAM! and... you know... other more intellectual stuff...

Well, maybe they don't need them, but don't you think that some fish might like a bicycle?

I do think that they might like it. I mean, think about it, I have NO use for a space suit.. I'm not going into space.. but I'd really really like one. Fish are constantly living on the edge, they know at any point they could be caught or eaten by a bigger water-dwelling being, they're thrill-seekers by default, they'd love bikes. I just know it.
