AvengedSevenfold

I am 20, I live in Norwich where I am at University studying Fine Art. I enjoy writing, reading, making things, art, music, singing, photography etc etc. I live with 3 awesome housemates and we have a blast. I especially enjoy books, handmade items, necklaces, make up, well anything really :) I like talking to people and meeting people from around the world as well.

Lately I have been struggling a lot with depression, so I thought joining here would help put a smile back on my face and realise that people can be really nice!

Send me a message, I am very nice! :)

This is me !

I have a very varied taste in music. Avenged Sevenfold are my favourite band, along with All Time Low, Nightwish, The Jonas Brothers, Anti Flag, The Ramones, The Misfits, IAMX, Debussy [Composer rather than band]. I like every type of music, especially if I can sing along - as I am a singer :) Acoustic to Punk - I love music.

I am completely obsessed with books and writing. I like conceptual writing, but also novels, cook books, comic books, manga and anything that just looks pretty!

My favourite book is "To Kill A Mockingbird", but I have read a lot of awesome books lately aswell including "Starter For 10", Loads of Stephen Fry and I am reading Labyrinth at the moment.

I even like books in different languages. I use a lot of pages from books in my installation works and I think writing/text is beautiful!

I am a complete sap for movies! I cry at almost all of them, even if they are not sad! I hate horrors, but can deal with weak thrillers. I love love love comedy, including stand up, and I like the feel good films like Peter Pan, Twilight, etc. I also love arty films and indie style. I love The science of sleep by Michael Gondry - SO GOOD. This is England. Maggie is a twat.

I LOVE anime, especially Bleach, D Gray Man, Full Metal Alchemist & Hitman Reborn!

I make my own plush badges and sell them in a local shop where I live, I am also on a Fine Art degree so I make a lot of artwork. I write poetry, statements, lyrics and conceptual pieces. I sew clothes and make my own clothing when I have the time. I love collage, and music.

I am not picky at all, To be honest - I am a complete hoarder. These are general things that I like though:

• Anything to do with my favourite bands, especially Avenged Sevenfold.
• Rock, Punk, Rockabilly styles.
• Anime, Manga etc.
• Anything handmade.
• Random crafty bits I can use in my found artwork and in my installations.
• Books, text, writing, anything!
• Art supplies, always in need!
• Anything cute, random, different looking. Such as figurines, plushies, notepaper, anything!
• Comics.
• Interesting cuttings from magazines etc.
• Necklaces.
• Notebooks, writing paper, pens.
• Letters.
• Cultural things.
• Clothes [Small], Accessories, Hair clips, Make up.
• Leopard print, Zebra print, anything alternative.
• Things that will make me smile.
• Anything Mod/Skinhead/Punk.

I say that I am not picky, however there are a few things that wouldn't go down very well with me I am afraid :(

• Religion related items, text, images etc.
• Strongly scented things [Allergies!] however, mild or "soft" smelling things are fine. Normally more affected by sprays or candles, not so much smellies.
• Anything really scary, including books, images and films.
• I think thats about it!

I am new here so I don't think it's fair for me to post a huge wishlist, however these are a few things I need rather than want!

• Things to help me be organised! Eg. Desk tidies, folding boxes, pretty boxes, anything to help me organise my studio and desk and room!
• Cards, Letters, Things to make me smile because I have been so down lately, would just help me get back on my feet!
• Notebooks, Sketchbooks, Paper, to feed my writing obsession!
• Anything arty/crafty. Doing a fine art degree is very expensive for materials hense why a lot of my work is found art. Anything that would help me out a bit, be it glue, pens, or specialist items, it would be greatly appreciated!
• I would like to learn loads of new crafts and techniques, so starter kits and instructions would be nice as well! Especially want to begin making ATC's!
• Any patterns.
• Polymer clay, never used it before and want to try!
• I have just started to learn how to cook things other than frozen pizza and ready meals (blush) so easy and cheap recipes would be AMAZING!
• Just anything to help out a poor student! Lol.
