I live and was born in South Australia.

I hope to one day live in the TARDIS.

Amoung my favorite things are characterisation, history, plot-lines, what words can mean in different situations and in different phrasing, reality and perception (a personal quote: "It's all about perception. All of it!"), and of course good comedy.

My favorite characters (from TV, movies and books, ect. ect.) are many, so here are just a few. From Doctor Who: the Doctor, The Master, Davros, Ace! Romana (we miss you both), Rose, the Daleks, From Dad's Army: (equally) Jonsey, Pikey and Walker especially, but also Frazer and Godfrey...and all the others (except the ones who were in it to 'compensate' for Walker...not their fault though). From Diskworld: Death, Susan, the Luggage, Rincewind, Twoflower, Death of Rats many others.

Don't ask me about my favorite actor/s because I'll launch into a rant about old actors from those old English comedy shows who are mostly dead now...Eric Idle, John Cleese, James Beck...only one of those is dead...

I have been practicing drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon (as many of us have). Nowdays, I use pencils, felt-tip pens, and even biros. Only recently have I gained the ability to draw humans (I'm still pretty rubbish) so I usually do caricatures. With animals, I can draw realistically, (well, sort of) abstract, surreal and just plain weird.

I'm also an author, who has yet to finish a book....I'm working on it! Being able to write AND draw really helps, because I can do my own character designs. My own illustrations. Almost all my books are based on the lives of wild animals, and occasionally humans who really like animals....

I am a Christian who is still learning.

Personal Quotes:
"Quite..."
"Oh my everything!" Technicaly, not one of mine...it's Doctor Who....
"Why SAY OMG when it takes just as much effort, and just as long to say 'Oh my God?'"
"OM...E!"
"Bad grammar! Bad grammar! It's not VERY unique, it's just unique! Something can't be VERY not at all similar in any way to any other thing ever!"

Why is a raven like a writing desk? Lewis Carroll said that originally, there was nevar (he really spelt it like that! raven backwards!) meant to be an answer. But as an afterthought the answer is: because both can produce notes, but the notes are very flat.

The best thing in the world is Doctor Who. Especially 7, 5, 8, 10, 2 and 3. ALL of them, actually (exepting 6...mostly). But every Whovian knows, that the best Doctor of all Time, is the Forth. Really.
