About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)Hello and Welcome, My name is Nina and I am from Glasgow in Scotland. I live at home with my Mum, Stepdad and our 6 Cats. I have Type 1 Diabetes and Aspergers Syndrome which I was diagnosed with in 2005. It means I am quiet and reserved around people I meet and find it hard to talk to them but once I get to know them well then I am ok.
