falling over, reading autobiographies (try to at least), sketching, singing, cooking & re-heating, printing every photograph I’ve ever taken in black & white (they always look so much better..) painting, wandering round art galleries, listening to my grandma tell me about the escapism she indulges in while she dreams....- She's amazing... I also like to make fun of those less fortunate than myself and indulge drunk Irish men in conversation (potential SugarPappies only..) I love learning key words (i.e. vocabulary that involves the use of 'Your Mum' and 'F**k Off') in different languages and am able to converse in both the Queen's English and Ghetto. (I am also fluent in BS-BSL - Bullsh*t -British Sign Language. To date I can sign Old MacDonald, the alphabet, and I can also give the finger and inform others that the guy peering down my top is infact a Merchant Banker...)
Anyone who’s eaten Green Eggs and Ham and lived to tell the tale, a T-Rex with cola bottle jellies for teeth, a Psammead (with the voice of Eddie Izzard), Toby the Dragon from Puddle Lane, She Ra, Napoleon Dynamite, oh, and a Thundercat (pref. spotty lady, Cheetara)
