About Me

I live in Northern Ireland and do youth work whenever I get the chance. I'm an adventure-mongerer and love old square-rigged tallships. I have worked as a sailor on a tallship, I have stayed in the tower of a castle, I have slept in a stable, I have been a cheerleader, a band nerd, a journalism geek, and a wharf rat. I love knives and dictionaries. I believe in what I hope for and I hope in things unseen. When I was wee my favourite bedtime story was the Ledgend of Sleepy Hollow, which explains a LOT. However, despite any morbid tendancies I may have, I have a God-given light inside of me and that's the important one.
