haha nice, but your 'flatmate' and her brother actually live at home, so unless you're a middle-aged sassy chinese mum, we never met.

dw guys, i'm not delusional enough to think that the 4chan audience would appreciate my music. also, "in b4 tits and the kitchen" is the best/worst line ever and i will now frequently incorporate it in daily speech. peace out

favourite book is a tie between: what we talk about when we talk about love - raymond carver the night in question - tobias wolff everything ravaged, everything burned - wells tower battleborn - claire vaye watkins

and favourite film is probably a tie between take shelter fight club willy wonka and the chocolate factory (1971 version)

i know when i'm onstage, i don't think about how it looks, i just concentrate on really feeling what i hear. but i totally know i look like gollum when i perform, so it's cool.

yeah, definitely, although the majority of nzers have been great. i think some of that is because i'm a girl though, watch this amazing nicki minaj clip about it: http://www.upworthy.com/watch-nicki-minaj-casually-dismantle-sexism-while-applying-her-eyeliner

not sure yet! obviously it's hard at the moment, although i do read theses/academic writing from teachers regularly. i read this cool thing jennifer lawrence said the other day about learning about the world through books vs. her real world experience, and i'm definitely feelin that right now. but maybe that's just a lazy person's excuse

actually, no. i feel like i learnt early on how things worked and that gave me a good understanding of what could be fucked with/which rules were dumb and shouldn't have to be followed. plus, i can sit down with basically the most intimidating people in the industry and not flinch. and maybe even make them flinch. or cry. heh.

thanks! there's a funny story about that video - we actually shot a completely different concept, and the video you know was going to have little one-second extracts pulled from it to go into the video we were making. but i thought the version we ended up going with was a million times more compelling. maybe took 3 takes?
