Zombies, a little less conversation.



While the undead genre as a whole has been a popular cult following for a long time now, in recent years there has been a surge of interest in the undead. Is this down to the public becoming more aware of the subject through films and books or is the subject striking home somewhere altogether deeper in the human psyche? The popular culture of zombies has traditionally been followed by horror enthusiasts, those who enjoy the spectacle of the movies, the suspense of the slow shambling… Continue

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?
one waiting for the Hobbit!
About Me:
Currently in the process of making a zombie film!! (hence the prop guns and body armour in pic!)

Born and bred in England, specifically Yorkshire:

"Yorkshire born, Yorkshire bred, strong in the arm, thick in the head/good in bed (depending if you want to insult/compliment someone!)"

Also part of the staff on www.lostzombies.com who are currently in the process of making the World's first community generated zombie film/documentary *cheap pop*

I LOVE Lord of the Rings, when going past particularly awesome small hills I rate them on how good they would be for turning into a hobbit home.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more
Night of the Living Dead (original)
28 dayd/weeks later
Survivial of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead (original)

I like bits of all music, always loved classical, Puccini, Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky especially. Ludovichi Einaudi is rocking my socks at the moment also. But I also love Ozzy, classic rock, Lady gaga is insane at the moment but I guess will get annoying in a year or two, oh and Eminem somehow sneaks in there, I hate rap but I find his stuff great!

Books, by golly do I love to read. I have always been interested in history, particularly Ancient Rome and Egypt, Napoleonic/Penisular war and WW2, as such most of my fiction takes place in those times but I am going through a phase of reading anything and everything on the Nazi leadership..not sure why, maybe to figure out where their heads were, reading about their kids lives nowadays is crazy also.

I also love sleeping, chocolate milk (nesquik), cheese and Errol Flynn's Robin Hood (fuck you Kevin Costner...Men in Tights you're still cool)
What's your favorite thing to put on your head?
pillow..I sleep wierd...yes it goes on top
If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?
Errol Flynn

by the way sorry I didn't write back earlier, I've been really stressed and busy recently.

Haha, toblerone is good . . . seriously though, sucking hot chocolate through a tim tam then eating it is tantamount ot a tastebud orgasm.

They're BOTH unrealistic, bad and involve people that can't act! I feel almost personally affronted that anyone can believe that they're accurate representations of Australian life . . . and don't even get me STARTED on the Crocodile Hunter!

Oooh that's UGLY. We're still on cake-faces, short dresses or 'jeggings' (particularly with canvas shoes and white socks pulled up), 13cm heels . . . some things never change . . . except the colours of the sequins *grimace* I saw a girl I used to go to school with a few nights back by chance and discovered she'd got a swallow tattoo on her shoulderblade!

It's pretty sad isn't it?! Who really cares that much?! I know I don't . . . only make-up I ever use is a bit of eyeliner!

OOHH never tried it with flake bars! Must do that next time . . .

Eastenders seems absolutely god-awful. Please tell me you don't watch Home and Away too!

In theory, the only time I would ever consider a tattoo would be a very small monochrome symbol of sorts somewhere discreet (I'm talking inside of the wrist or something not down there you gutterbrain!) Tattoos as fashion statements or as proof of your scenester street cred annoy the hell outta me. You've got dolphins on the back of your spine?! How touching. A butterfly on your boob? Classy. You have Chinese characters on your arm that even YOU don't know what it means? Read this and reconsider . . . grrr I could go on but I won't.

Oh no, vegemite is entirely different . . . well not entirely, it's still barley from beer brewing in a black spread but it tastes better. Tim tams are incredible and tim tam slams are the best way to eat them - google them both ;)

LOL Eastenders is godawful from the half episode of it I've seen!!

Don't get me started on my opinions of tattoos!!

LOL caveman! Sounds like fun!! Yeah, pictures aren't my favourite thing . . . I've been given to making a succession of stupid faces when people try and take photos. My friends despair. Yes, I do indeed . . .

Not quite, doesn't dissolve as easily, grains are slightly bigger . . . it's just better. Like vegemite is way better than marmite and tim tams kick the shit outta penguins :D You could still probably tim tam slam with a penguin, didn't try while I was over there.

Neighbours is god awful and a national embarrassment . . . then again, I do enjoy watching The Bill sometimes (pikeys with ASBOs and ringtones are hilarious)

Probably Clooney . . . or Pitt or Orlando Bloom . . . Yeah that is true though, there's always the emphasis on the female to make that effort - my guy mates certainly don't feel any (or that much) pressure to do anything.

Fashion is corporate manipulation of the mindless all-consuming all-bullshit-swallowing majority at its best/worst. My younger sister reads glossies and follows fad fashion, she recently bought one of those tutu skirts and wears it in earnest. Last night I went to a party where the dress up theme was 'exaggerated indie' and because I knew I'd get "nice costume" if I went in my normal clothes I figured I should give the 'scene kids' a norm to rebel against - cake-faced, sporting a shitton of shiny bling (my sister's), a see-through black lace tank with sparkles (my sister's) over a pink singlet, a zebra print handbag (my sister's), hair in a quiff (done by my sister) . . . the make-up was one of the most disgusting things I've ever experienced but I made the right choice coz my best mate rocked up in a perfect imitation of my favourite outfit complete with my favourite t-shirt she'd managed to con me out of the day before XD

mmmmnnhhh chocolate milk . . . if you like Nesquik you need to procure some Milo - it's the malt flavoured Aussie equivalent that is as good in cold milk as it is in warm (also fantastic on vanilla icecream)

Neighbours SUCKS! It's SO inaccurate! Absolutely shocking and god their fake country accents!! Nah, Australia's really really not like that. Normal Australian day to day life is like normal English day to day life with a shitton more sun XD Seriously though, it's not that different.

You loathe the female Hollywood image?! Trust me, you'd loathe it more if you were compared to it and made to feel inadequate if you don't measure up. I'm 5ft9 but curvy so I'm a damn sight heavier than your average Hollywood girl, yeah I have short hair, yeah I have small boobs and guess what, I even have a little cellulite. That's what's known in the vernacular as 'NORMAL'. Gah I hate it all so much. I hate fashion, I hate the objectification of women and more than anything I hate the men who encourage it. (just a bit of a feminist yeah...) Yeah, there are male equivalents - the toned, tanned, muscley, hunky guy with a cheesy smile and a six-pack. Personally, no thanks. Gimme a skinny arty boy with a twisted sense of humour and a guitar any day . . . perfect example = the Maccabees (yes all of them, one of the few bands who defy the attractiveness rule that only 50% of the band can be bangable . . . other notable exceptions include Mumford & Sons and quite possibly Everything Everything). What you need is someone who gets you, who you can carry a conversation with, who laughs at your stupid jokes and doesn't care about your character flaws - attractiveness is all good and well but it has to be secondary to personality and intelligence.

The science behind being left or right handed is pretty interesting (as is the success of left-handed batsmen in cricket) . . . both blue eyes and red hair are recessive genes making me genetically rather boring (dark brown hair and hazel eyes) but yeah, we hafta preserve the ginger gene!! If not, we can never have another ginger as badass/scary as Josh Homme XD

Screw Hollywood! Am I a size 8? Ha no. Do I have C cup boobs and long blonde hair? HELL no. Who gives a crap. The only people who think that matter are too shallow to hold my interest anyways.

Oh god. That's SO bad for you. I love stuff like Spaced and Monty Python! Also, I'm a huge Doctor Who fan . . .

My soccer club's strip is green with yellow trimmings and the AFL club I follow is black and red although we're not doing very well this season . . . evidently you'd agree that red and black are good colours ;)

Blue and orange?! WTF?! That's hilarious!

no genius, I'm not a lefty - if I were a lefty my right hip would be screwed coz I'd be rotating all my weight through my right hip! I've always wanted to be a lefty actually . . . I've also always wanted auburn hair or really green eyes . . .

Ahhh toilet humour . . . almost as bad as my penchant for deadpan sarcasm and dead baby jokes! I surprise myself frequently with just how much of a bloke I am and how often I find guy humour exceedingly funny - I could list the ways that I'm more male than female but that would just be weird.

Yeah, good thing you haven't heard them butchering Beatles songs!!
At 1:05am on July 27, 2010, accelerando e agitato said…
HA no I didn't run into a post!! I do, however, make a habit of running into strikers and midfielders (not my own, evidently) - my coach jokes that I make a hobby out of charging people . . . which is kinda true. I figure if you get in fast enough, lead with a shoulder or shin, protect the squishy bits and pull out before the other person knows what hits them then you won't come off worse (only ever have about twice). On the injury front: In light of our senior keeper leaving I was going to be moved up two divisions (at least) they had me training twice as hard and since they'd neglected my spot-kicks for years they had me doing them over and over . . . all this = pressure on where ligament joins bone in left hip = repetitive strain injury (nearly tearing bits of ligament off my hipbone)

WOO Queen!! I've got a younger sister who worships Glee and hearing the Glee versions of the Queen songs make me feel sick . . . easy on the weights matey or else the ladies will think you're compensating ;)

I'm very familiar with the stickers on cricket bats (I'm an Aussie remember! For the record I'm pretty damn handy with both bat and ball and since I'm a football keeper I can wicketkeep a little) But fuckin hell that sounds like a lot of work!

I just had a read of the timeline and that sounds so fucking cool . . . that's so original and quirky!!

About me?? I'm studying atm and my strengths are all arts/humanities stuff - history nerd, literature enthusiast, actress, classical soprano and part time poet/writer/guitarist XD Normal weird arty gal stuff . . . And yeah, as I said before I play soccer but I'm injured at the moment unfortunately - been out for 4 months and won't be back for another 6-12 months :'(

My favourite is the 2nd piano concerto - my mum did music degrees and we have an old amateur recording on cassette tape of her playing it!
