About Me

"The only thing worse in the world than being talked about is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde

My name's Marina and I study Government & Politics, English Lit and Philosophy at Crosskeys College.

I plan to rule the world either by becoming Prime Minister or globalisation by running a chain of second hand bookshops. (Or I may just marry a millionnaire, I havem't decided.) My major ambition in life is to get on the front cover of Private Eye.

I'm also a bit of a geek who loves books, politicians, Eastcliff Richard, webcomics and history.

I come from Ramsgate in Thanet, AKA the Tip of Kent.
