B

Ballet - I'm not entirely sure why, but it's wonderful!

Bloomfield, Nicholas -
He's been there when I've needed him. He's given some good advice during our friendship. Should we ever part, I shall never forget our friendship.

Bober, Ed
- My year 11 form tutor. He supported me though the time I was dealing with the death of a close friend and coming to terms with my dying sister.

Britt, Lawrence
- He was my course tutor at university (Yr2). He's been a good bloke! He, I think, can understand me more than most there. He is very supportive. 

Business Group, The
- A term applied to my Year 13 business group. The final group consists of Matthew Hutton, Daniel Cheung, Nick Frost, Kelly Little and Emma Underwood. I never thought that we'd still be a 'group' once we'd left high school, but fortunately I was proven wrong!

C

Camping - Some how it seems to clean my soul and replenish me! I hope to go camping more in the future.

Cheung, Daniel
- What can I say! Daniel has the strangest vocabulary of anyone I know! He's been there for me when I've needed advice. He's 5 years older than me, but looks my age if not a few years younger! Sorry Dan! He's always up for a laugh.

Christianity
- This is one thing which I can't put into words at the moment. Perhaps one day. All I know is that it's a part of my life and I hope it continues to be.

Church
- Same as Christianity... 

Classic FM
- I guess this influences my wallet more than anything else. It plays classical music 24 hours a day. It helped me get the assignments done on time (usually!).

Clarinet
- I started to play the clarinet when I was 8 or 9. I must admit there were times I really just wanted to quit it, but managed to keep going. I did GCSE and A Level Music. Music was my favourite subject at school. Also see Music

Computers
- look at the sizes of my sites, need I say more?

Cooper, Jo
- Jo and I re-sat English together. We stuck though it and finally gained the grade we both wanted. She's really been there for me and I hope that I've been there for her. When we weren't in English lessons we could be found at the 'le coin français', right Jo??!! I think there may still be a desk at our high school which says 'Jo est mon esclave, mais mon amie aussi!!' Now we are both working in the big 'adult' world - we meet up for lunch quite often.

D

Debussy, Claude - We studied his works for A level. I love impressionist music, therefore love his works. He has a gift!

Dolphins
- They are very unique animals. They have a very calming influence on me. I love them!

DuPoint, Arieanne - Ma meilleur amie! Most people know the history, there is so much I'm not going to bore you with it. Basically - we are the two closest people I know!:) 

[Top]

E

Elphick, Marie - She helped me gain the grade I wanted in English. She made things so clear and we had a really good rappor.

Elder, Ian
- He gave me the influence to carry on! I don't think he knows that, but he did. My final years in high school were not easy by any standards, but during that time, Ian helped me, in different ways, to write a composition, dedicated to my sister, which I am so proud of and also that other people are proud of. Thank you very much Ian!

Elgar, Edward
- He can change my emotions easily!!

[Top]

F

Family, My - Everyone needs family. I have a lot to thank them for. They have been there for me during the hard times and during the fantastic times. They are really supportive. I don't think that I'd be where I am today with out them being there for me.

Fisher, Sarah - Always there, no matter what. Sarah has made me feel happy even when all around me is crumbling down! Sarah has the rudest mind but at heart is one of the most caring people I know. She certainly livened up our lunch times with all that she'd come out with!!

Fitzmaurice, John - Despite labouring under his own illness, he had time for so many people, including me, especially when I laboured under my own illness! Probably near enough to a Saint amongst Men. God rest your soul, my friend. Forever endebted ...

Friends, My - My friends form my extended family!! See my family!!

[Top]

G

Gates, Sarah - My American friend! We have shared a lot. I love her dearly. Forever in my heart.

Greenwich Park
- It has a lot of memories for me. I hope to visit every time I go to London. If you ever get the chance - you should visit it.

Howes, Tony - A good friend. Can be extremely funny!:) I'm a bit lost for words.

K

Kendrick, Andrew - One of my 'bestest' friends. Out of all my friends, I think that we've been though the funniest time. We've gone through a lot and pulled through! At one stage we were not friends for a long time, but we managed to get through that. It surprised a lot of people when we weren't friends because the never thought it would be us! To be honest, I was a little surprised.

Kendrick, Chris
- I went camping with Chris in the Summer of 2000. I got to know him as Chris as opposed to Andrew's little brother. Glad I know him as Chris:)

Kendrick, Terry
- Andy's Dad! I guess indirectly he's an influence for having had Andrew, but also he's been useful when it comes to Business work. He's in marketing and has produced a few publication articles. They have proven to be very useful!:)

L

Law - I studied law in my business courses and thoroughly enjoyed it.

London
- It can be both really busy and exciting, but also very quiet and tranquil. Some of my family live in London and I really love visiting.

Lord, Ian
- He taught me a lot about music. He has a library of information stored away in his memory, which is very impressive. He has been a really committed teacher for which I am truly grateful for. 

Luxton, Bob
- I don't really know how I would describe this relationship. I guess, he's like a friend and a kind of grand-dad. I never really had any grandparents, with the exception of my mum's mum. Bob taught me how to sing and got me up to a high level. I have taken RSCM exams never failing one! He's a great friend and I'm proud to know him.

M

Mad-Ozzie - Mad is not one in a million, she's unique! She's very understanding and patient. Always willing to give someone a hand. She is more than her name implies. She has always been there for me no matter how trivial the question seems. Thanks M.O.

Me, myself! - Without my creation - I would not be influenced, thus this page would not exist, come to think of it, neither would this website! lol:) As strange as it may seem I've influenced myself. We all do, but I feel as though I've influenced myself more than more people influence themselves.

MidniteBlue - AKA Gina. She has been a guiding light and at times the light at the end of my tunnel. She has helped me to understand my core beliefs and myself generally. She is a very special person.

Miller, Tom "Tombo"
- A genuine friend. He is the most genuine, I'm not saying that the others aren't genuine, but he's just openly genuine.

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus
- Mozart's works are fantastic and he gave me the want to compose more than any other composer.

[Top]

N

Nephews and Nieces - I'm thinking of a particular 2 of my 8. Clare and William are the two I spend most time with. They have really grown up in the past years. I was lucky enough to be an uncle at 5! 

Norfolk
- My home! I come from Norfolk. Norfolk has wonderful a countryside, but also has cities too. Norfolk will always be my home and when I am away in London, I think about Norfolk a lot.

[Top]

O

Opera - same as Ballet

[Top]

P

Piano - The piano enables me to release stress and also articulate my feelings. Music plays a big part in my life and this is mainly due to the piano. I started playing the piano when I was 4 years old. I love the piano and I always will. I compose mainly on the piano. I have taken several grades on the piano.

Polley, Michelle "Muppet" - My little muppet:)

R

Rachmaninov, Serge - His music, I can really identify with. His music really makes me think about things which I wouldn't usually think about.

Radio
- A medium ... can be very influential. I don't listen to the radio as much as I do watch TV, but it still can be influential when I 'm listening to it.

Ravel, Maurice
- An impressionist composer. I studied his works in my A level Music. As with Rachmaninov's pieces I have the ability to think about thinks which I don't usually. 

Richmond, Jenny
- Jenny is probably the hardest influence to write about because she has influenced me, I think, more than anyone else. Jenny and I were very close. She taught me a lot of things, more than I could ever teach her. Unfortunately she died in August 2000. She still influences me today.

Rodrigo
- I can relax to much of his work. 

[Top]

S

Satie, Eric - His music instantly makes me relax and forget my problems (usually!). His music is so delicate. I am lucky enough to be able to play some of them on the piano. 

Schindler's List (Film) 
- Such a profound film. It just makes you realise how horrible man can be to each other. The music from the film is very emotionally arousing. 

Shakespeare (and his works) 
- I love the whole language of Shakespeare. That is why I created a site with all his known works on the website. I enjoy reading his works and just wish I could write as wonderfully as that. 

Shakespeare in Love (Film) 
- It was a wonderful film. I can't explain why it's influenced me, but it's influenced me! 

Stiffkey, Norfolk
- I went camping there in the Summer of 2000. I can't say that it was totally stress free, but I had a good time there. I'm going to go camping again there at some point. 

Sudder, Cindy "CK"
- my high school friend! CK and I could talk about anything and I mean anything. Nothing was barred from discussion. We had our moments were we'd be pissed off with each other, but things are still going well.

[Top]

T

Television - A medium!! I think you know why television influences me because it influences you. TV for me is escapism.

[Top]

U

University - It's been an eye opener. Parts I like, parts I hate - it's all a part of life! 

[Top]

V

Viray, Primitivo - A good person to talk too. He listens ... :) A good friend.

[Top]

W

Wadham, Abigail - It was Abigail who made me realise that traditions were not always right. She has made me think a lot about the way people are seen and the way people are treated. She has a love of drama and you can really see the happiness it gives her. She has a lot of potential and I'm sure that she's going to go far.

White, Tom "Barry"
- A teacher who put faith in me when not many other teacher's did. He turned around the teaching system as it stood at my school. 

Williams, John
- Can relax to his music!

Wright, Glenn - Glenn was one of my finance lecturers at university. He has really helped me to understand accounting! He makes finance somewhat interesting.
