About Me


Hello! I am little, bubbly and usually happy & smiley :) I graduated from Essex University last June with a degree in American Studies...yes, that's right..it does exist!

I'm currently working in Colchester at the University of Essex in the Conference Office. I did work at the wonderful fun place known as RE Austin and may well return! I love being busy and involved in life & I can't live without dancing, music & films.

I have a photo site dedicated to my life ;) Photo Bucket .

My Interests

Going for walks in the crisp air, sitting on beaches, watching the stars, sitting in front of a fire, reading, watching films, playing pool, chatting to people, drinking hot chocolate, cycling in California, admiring nature, lying in fields in the summer evenings, swimming in the ocean, watching the fish go by, listening to music, watching musicians, hugs, people who like to think deeply, dancing, exploring new places, helping people, hugs, smiles, good food and laughing....lots! [Till I ache]

I'd like to meet:


Funny, intelligent (but not pretentious), huggable, lively, but relaxed, people :) Oh...and if you dance like a loon..call me!

Music:

I love Radiohead and would pay a lot to see them ! Usually more of an 'indie' music person...whatever that means these days!Fav bands/artists would include: The Magic Numbers, Switchfoot,KT Turnstall, Nick Drake, Alicia Keys, random compilation albums, Portishead, Massive Attack, The Doors, Mew, Beth Orton, The Eels, Beach Boys, The Postal Service, Radiohead (again), Girls Aloud, Rhianna, Prodigy, Mary Mary, Bottlefly, Orson, Train, etc etc.

Anything I can dance to in a club is also good music...but I don't like hardcore trance/dance or heavy rock/metal...and yes, when I was younger and it was *cool* I listened to and aCtually liked Garage.... *ahem*

Movies:

Hackers, 50 First Dates, Disney's Robin Hood, A Few Good Men, Shawshank Redemption, Snatch, Lock Stock, Donnie Darko, Matrix, Gladiator, The Rock, LOTR, The Butterfly Effect, Mulan is fun to sing to in your pj's while eating lots of yummy food *memories* Indian Jones is cool...quite liked the new Batman too, and I guess Spiderman was cool too. I lOve films...want to hang out with me...offer a hug & a film :)

Television:

Scrubs, Desperate Housewives, Lost, Hollyjokes sometimes(!)

Books:

I quite like le bible, always something relevant in there! I love 'The Little White Horse', the Harry Potter series, love Terry Pratchett's Disco World books, and got some on EBAY recently...bargain! Am reading a book by Jeremy Clarkson at the moment. Overall I love reading, it rarely matters what the book is :) I thought I would have more time to read once I left University but rarely do now...boo!

Heroes:

Anyone who stands up for those who can't do it themselves. People who fight injustice and people who love unconditionally regardless of circumstances or colour or nationality.

Some thoughts

I've just been thinking lately how friendships are weird and how people come and go from your life, sometimes randomly, sometimes for a reason. Relationships seem to fickle and people you think are yo...
