About Me

When I was but a wee nipper, I used to read the Mr Men books. I was permitted 2 of them a week, which we would buy every weekend, and I would rush home and read them straight away. Eventually I reached the Mr Impossible book. As I read it, I began to realise that there were some things in life that I would never be able to do, such as turn myself invisible or jump over a house, because they were, by definition, impossible.I have never really recovered from this realisation.

I'm a pro at crastination!

Hmmm, why yes, I think right now really would be excellent time to plan a round-the-world trip, what with that 2500 word essay I need to finish and all. Muppet.
