She's just killing time, what a pity

About Me


I am fully aware my profile screams GEEK!
I NEVER ADD PEOPLE I DON'T ALREADY KNOW UNLESS WE MAIL A LITTLE FIRST- this seems to be a concept many people find hard to understand. Also, i'm not going to add after just ONE mail, the point is GETTING TO KNOW YOU FIRST. Friends of friends or people i met a couple times years ago - this applies to you as well. Same as bands, no, you won't be my next big thing, no, i won't like you better than Cave In, yes, you do need to say something more profound than 'you'll dig us'. I'm not interested in bulking out friend's lists, yours or mine. DEGENERATE MORONS NEED NOT APPLY.
Aside from that, I study at Leicester uni (yes, the real one!). You'll find me at the museum and art gallery during vacations, pointing tourists in the direction of dinosaurs and Picasso (tho not necessarily the right direction).
Music is the only thing that convinces me to get up every day – my record collection is my baby, I probably like it better than you.
I have an amazing boyfriend who manages to combine fun, caring and gorgeous effortlessly.
  • I'm a (very) lazy perfectionist
  • I have a few personal issues with my height - i'm not short, just a little vertically challenged
  • My best friends are named Jack and Stella
    • ...and I cuss like a sailor.

    Garrison
    God.Fires.Man
    Campaign For Real-Time

I have a profile here to keep in touch with (read - harass/bother) them, not to make any new ones - i prefer to meet my peeps out there in the (shh, whisper it now) real world.
