Hey I'm Jessie, and I live in the land of Oz (ie it's highly likely I will just smile and give you a vegemite sandwich if you should ever ask me if I speak-a your language).

Rowling, Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen, Back Home- Michelle Magorian, Good at Games- Jill Mansel, Across the Nightingale Floor- Lian Hearn, Getting Lucky- Susan Andersen, Eleven on Top - Janet Evanovich, Daughter of Fortune- Isabel Allende, The Chase- Louisa May Alcott, The Horse and His Boy- C.S.

Okay basically Australian and British pop/hard/punk rock and musicals litter my CD collection with a bit of hip hop here and there and soundtracks because who doesn't like a good soundtrack?

I will inevitably be listening to Triple J, thank goodness for being Australian and, therefore, having a good radio station!

Favourite TV shows: Gilmore Girls, Spicks and Specks, Coupling, Night and Day, Firefly, From Hero to Zero (does anyone else remember that show?), the Pride and Prejudice BBC mini series (honestly who doesn't love that?)

Favourite films: Geez here we go...The Leaving of Liverpool, Pirates of the Caribbean (only the first one, it all went downhill from there), The Emperors New Groove, The Princess Bride, Far and Away, Cry Baby, Willow, The Shawshank Redemption, Corky Romano, Goldeneye, The Negotiator, National Treasure, The Long Kiss Goodnight, The Phantom of the Opera, Purely Belter, Clueless, The Breakfast Club, Safe Men, Enemy of the State, About a Boy, The Abduction Club, Zulu, Casino Royale, She's the Man, ...and as with the books I'd better stop there.

Favourite Football (as in soccer) team: Liverpool fc

Favourite AFL team: Adelaide fc (Carn the Crows!)

So I suppose that leaves me with nothing more to say than thanks, think hard before voting conservative or leaving the tap on when you brush your teeth, and have a good life.

Cheers,
