I'm a little bit from column A and a little bit from column B. I like intellectual pursuits as much as I like creative ones and I'm interested in most things in general.
I think I'm stubborn, competitive, passionate, nerdy, a perfectionist and a feminist in denial. You'll probably agree.
I'm excessively talkative and therefore have a talent for putting my foot in my mouth. I'll offend you at least once at some point. I apologise in advance.
