About me:
OK ... where to start ....

CHECK OUT MY MYSPACE MUSIC PAGE!!! - /RaiStudleyMusic to listen to my attempts at singing/guitaring/recording and let me know what you think!!

I'm 28. ... crazy (isn't everyone) .... strangely enthusiastic about life (even tho i've seen some of it's darker corners) .... a musician (am a rock star in training at Leicester's Access To Music course: vocalist and crap guitarist) .... complicated .... computer geek (insomnia helped me get into web design) .... lover of pink sparkeli things (was a band tshirt/jeans lass when i was a teenager, so making up for lost time)

i'm an artist (kinda .... as long as i can use a computer i'm fine) .... songwriter (definately) .... i sometimes feel like a little girl inside (but at the same time i know i'm stronger than that) .... i cry when people die in movies (unless it's horror, then i'm either hiding behind a cushion or rolling around the floor in fits of laughter)

i love real ale (even tried a grapefruit one once .... mmm) but will drink just about anything .... i'm a uni drop out (mainly cus i spent my time in the pubs and clubs of sheffield instead of in my lectures) .... i want to take over the world (or at least save it a few times .... and lets be honest, it needs something ... so vote for me!) .... i'm unbeleivably disorganised (but make a good show at organisation when people depend on me)

i run a website called MadNOTBad (a space for people going through mental health probs to share their experiences, opinions, artwork and creativity) and am trying to help fight the stigma surrounding mental distress .... being mad don't make you bad y'know and it's nothing to be scared of

i love my sofa (owning your own flat is great ... it's the place i run to when the world gets too much) .... i'm stubborn and independant (but in a good way) .... i do too much (but like it that way) .... i like honesty, humour and people who don't feel the need to be sheep

Who I'd like to meet:
random people to say hi to, people wanting vocalists to work with (hint hint)

Siobhan Leanne McIntosh	Aug 30 2007 12:37 PM Yes, I heard that someone from Leicester had moved down there recently. Fortunately for her though, she has more business sense than me and is a lot better in these situations too. And has a male companion for company. I'm not coping well with basic...life in lil ol Leicester. I was thinking of staying at the "Genny" for a week down there in October.
