Hi, I'm Ellie Jay and I have an internet problem. (original) (raw)

I'm a 19-year-old female from the UK (Devon when I'm at home, Derby when I'm at university). I like all sorts of music, within reason, but my favourite bands are Mr Bungle, Eels, Hole, Weezer, NOFX, Blink 182, Reel Big Fish, Jimmy Eat World, Something Corporate, Alanis Morisette, The Cure, Kate Bush, Tears For Fears, Garbage, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Atom and His Package and Picture House.
God, I love obligatory music lists. It's generally when I post them that I get the xinsertsomethingstupidherecorex people saying "Like, ew! You don't like Sonic Bowel Movement or Gargling Phlegm or any of the bands I pretend to listen to so I can look cool! You're no individual, maaaan!"

Other interests include:

Piercings- I have 15 of them.

Tattoos- I only have three. But hey, I'm working on it.

Cartoons- I shit you not. Cartoons rule.

Comics- My favourite being Johnny The Homicidal Maniac. Oh yes.

Writing- Duh. Like pretty much every other person to own a livejournal, I like to write.

Reading- Because I'm so uber-literate like that. Terry Pratchett rocks my socks, as does Melvyn Burghess, Stephen King and a load of other people. And no, I don't like Lord of the Fucking Rings. I'm starting to think I'm the only one left who doesn't.

Humour- I like funny people. I try to be funny, and occasionally succeed (according to existing LJ friends). So let's all have a good laugh.

Theatre- Nuff said.

Movies- Especially Kevin Smith stuff. Other favourites include Donnie Darko (yes, I know everyone else has it as a favourite too), Labyrinth, Kill Bill (both volumes), Battle Royale, The Ring (Japanese Version), Dark Crystal, and....um..... Shrek.

OK, so the sort of people I like to make friends with (yes, I'm well aware that beggars can't be choosers. Go away. Leave me alone. Stop pulling my hair!). I'm actually not very fussy. You don't have to have identical interests to me, nor do you have to agree with me on everything. Having said that, the following will be removed my friends list and stepped on:

- PeOpLe WhO tYpE lIkE tHiS
- ppl hu type lyk dis lol omg wtf rotflmao
- People who constantly do memes and quizilla quizzes and hardly do proper entries.
- Stupid people. They smell, have cooties, and no-one likes them.
- Over-sensetive types who lack a sense of humour.
- poepel woh mak eloads of typos adn dont spel lcheck (translation: people who make loads of typos and don't spell check).
- People who write nothing but bad angsty goth poetry. I like poems, but show some variety in entries.

I think that covers it. Guys, girls, hermaphrodites.... I'm not fussy over the gender of my friends.

In conclusion (fuck, this is starting to sound like an essay), I'm a nice person really.
Here, have a picture, taken the other night (I'm dressed as a fairy because it's my birthday, m'kay?).
