Hi, I'm Lee. I'm a journalist from Newcastle Upon Tyne, where I live by myself in a flat just next to St James Park. Apart from arsing about on the internet (which I do far too often), my other main interests are music (dance and indie especially although I like a bit of everything), going clubbing/to gigs, going out with friends, watching football and basketball (I support Newcastle in both), reading and watching TV. I also love stand up comedy (Ross Noble is my fave at the moment) and have been known to be very sarcastic at times. At the moment, I work as Online Content Manager for Sunderland City Council as well as doing other freelance work mainly for dance and entertainment magazines/web sites. Errrmmm...I think that's about it really but I'm always up for meeting new people so feel free to get in touch if you want to. Cheers!

THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR is basically
my bible. It taught me about butterflies, which
are kick ass. It taught me about the days of
the week. It taught me how to count. It taught
me that gross weird looking bastards turn out
to be amazingly pretty. But most importantly,
it taught me that binge-eating is fucking
awesome. Particularly combining salami and
cherry pie. For this glorious education in
hideous amounts of food and eating until you
feel sick, I salute you, you hungry little
caterpillar. (In other news, it's been 27 years
and I've been eating as much as possible and
I'm still not a butterfly. I'm beginning to
think it was all a clever lie.)
I Love:
love
I Hate:
