[ MISS EDITOR ]

 

 

Name:  Changes daily, but for now its Miss Bee Havya

 

Starsign:  Cancerius

 

What I do:  I’m a pseudo-student spending far too much time doing naughty things and cruising the net.  I also write, fake-DJ, jump on my trampoline, check out fresh sounds and avoid the telephone. 

 

When I grow up, I want to be:  somebody who’s remembered for being crazy or being different.  Other than that, a ballerina or an electro assassin.

 

I get out of bed for:  about $25 a day, depending on whether it’s pay week.  If its not, then it’s the subtle call of my PC beckoning me to come and do some work

 

What I listen to:  anything kick-arse and funky that I can either sing to, robot dance to, or chill to- funk, dub, breaks and reggae are current faves.  Old skool hip hop and electro. And anything on Grand Central!

 

Things that inspire/excite me:  The fact that I can change my mind like a chameleon changes colour- that’s sometimes exciting, but sometimes frustrating (I’m a closet procrastinator/perfectionist)

 

What inspires me: anybody who’s not afraid to stand up and fight for what they believe in.  Wicked tunes, good company, inspiring conversation.  Also springtime, and anything that makes me feel like a kid again.

 

My philosophy: always strive to be creative and challenge everything about who you are and what you think and feel.  Don’t be afraid to do something different- whether it’s to do something you’ve always wanted to do and never had the chance, or to just be more spontaneous and adventurous. 

 

Rocking my world right now:  My love, my passion and ideas, and my resurging sense of fun that comes from a change in season (I live in the southern hemisphere, OK.  It’s getting warm).  Bubbles, flute loops, curiosity.

 

My biggest regret:  I try not to have too many regrets in life.  If any, it’s that I didn’t start travelling at an earlier age to get over my total paranoia of flying.  Not being able to sing like a diva. Oh, and also not developing a sense of balance when I was little, cos’ I’d love to be able to skate and/or breakdance.

 

Quote:  Don’t fight it, feel it……one love

Name:  Mike Hovancsek

 

Starsign:  Larry the Cowboy (one of the lesser-known signs of the zodiac)

 

What I do:  I work with cattle and teenagers.

 

When I grow up, I want to be:  I’m 35.  It’s too late to grow up and too late to die young.

 

 

I get out of bed for:  …at least four hours a day.

 

What I listen to:  Swarms of insects and distant car alarms.

 

Things that inspire/excite me:  Swarthy women with low self-esteem.

 

My philosophy:  You are only young once but you can be immature forever.

 

Rocking my world right now:  The thought of the Backstreet Boys’ plane going down in flames.

 

My biggest regret:  Filling out this profile.

 

Quote:  “Please don’t sue me
