About Me

Well I guess it's about time I told you something about myself,there's not a lot to tell really. "I am me myself and I." I am quite capable of being boringly normal(whatever that is)but I do consider the name freak to be a compliment ;o) I was born with one foot in the past, something that I think shows up in my clothing designs (a glorifed hobby at the mo but hopefuly soon to be a proper business)they are mostly based on historic costume.I love history due to the fact (I think) I've been lucky enough to live in some wonderful places, from a haunted 14th cent pub,two houses in Grasmere that William wordsworth lived in.To a 17th cent manor house in Yorkshire (most haunted in Yorkshire evidently) I also do a bit of glass painting, as gothic as pos but I have to do the touristy stuff too,which I hate but it does sell quite well in the two shops I have my creations in. I have also been known to organize the odd Goth night or two, it started with the one off "Dance Of The Vampires" in Barrow years ago.To our latest monthly outing "The Thing" in Dalton. What else? Oh yes I am a cat magnet,so it's just as well I love the little beasts (much nicer on the whole than your average human) I have four,would be alot more if I wasn't strong lol,all are strays and all are very odd. And that's your lot! (or at least all I'm saying on here ;o)
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
