About Me

And, so...here.
It is of course worrying when we only have a digital space to represent ourselves in the world. But no matter.
I am currently residing in Northampton where I also attend University studying Philosophy & Media Studies. People often assume the latter is a worthless subject to divulge in, to those people I say - put down the Daily Mail. Or any other paper for that matter. But, anyway, I find that in each of my university lessons I am surrounded by people who are much more intelligent and, additionally, more beautiful than I could ever dream of becoming. Education is the decaying corpse of this generation - but some still give it a good poke.I adore animals and, therefore, wish to care for them as much as possible. So I have decided, to the best of my abilities, to become 'vegan'. I am not interested, nor do I particularly care, about the arguments from either faction. Becoming vegan is a deeply intimate decision paralleled only by one's religion and/or sexuality. I am not here to convert or challenge your morality, so please do not question mine. You'll only end up dying of frustration (or laughter) anyway. Yes, I maybe a twenty year old University Student who is bound to rebel against something...
Like some people I am a huge book, music and film fan and I try to climb on all branches of these cultures.
Morrissey & Madonna are my idols.
Before I splert out fanboy-fact-drivel I will stop only to say this- my heart(cold and black as it is) belongs to cricket and, in particular, my beloved Northamptonshire County Cricket Club.
Unfortunately, I do not assign to the usual quota of youth, e.g. parties and alcohol, so I usually spend most of my time in solitude and this can be hugely comforting. People are so terribly tiring.
I realize I come across awfully pompous but there is very little I can do about this now. Regrettably, the mask is now so thin I can barely tell where I begin and where it ends.
