About Me

GO FAIRTRADE. RECYCLE.Check out my Canada Photos onhttp://gemstuff.spaces.msn.com/Me...I am a 21 year old lass hailing from the beautiful little village of birtley...really nice place....*coughs* aaanyway, im doing a philosophy and politics degree at newcastle uni after spending my first year at Glasgow. Final year undergradyate - wow I sound all grown up! I do like philosophy and talking and debating and generally talking crap which i can do suprisingly well. I like live things, like bands and gigs and comedy and breakdancing and being in the midst of fun stuff. I like outdoorsy stuff and things that are fun and challenging...climbing (though fear of heights is a drawback) skiing, breakdancing (though am rubbish as it is a new hobby so lots of unsightly bruises) kayakking, scuba diving, fencing, and wing chun kung fu. I love music (who doesnt) and anything that gets me up dancing or singing or contemplating or being angry or in love to. I love going out with my friends and getting in ridiculous hippy moods where I proceed to go on about how much I love life and friends,etc! And I love going to the cinema and curling up on the sofa in a duvet watching neighbours. i love neighbours...Hey and if u wanna add me, if i dont know you then know that its completely redundant sending msgs saying "great music taste"..would you start a conversation like that in the street...i think not. Just because it's the internet doesn't mean you can completely disregard the art of conversation. Cheers!
