About Me


adopt your own virtual pet!
I'm a complicated girlie; intense/quizzical/deep thinking yet also ridiculously scatty/dippy/silly. I love doing random things, people watching and making up scenarios about people. I miss the ease of uni days; taking the piss out of lecturers, bunking off, endless visits to pizza hut + shopping in London!
I like the simple things in life;...curling up infront of a tv show or film, eating out, the feel of wet sand under my feet, going to gigs and jumping about like a loon, alternative pubs/clubs. I love lemonade, starbucks frapachinos, the smell of fresh bread, feeling the sun on my face...freshly cut grass, lighthouses, animals esp dogs, my scallywag dog paddy!, fairy lights, art, tennis, lip gloss, beady bracelets, piercings, tattoos, ebay, buying clothes, family, driving, paul frank sock monkey, grannies on bikes/scooters, strangers smiling at me, laughing until my sides ache, being in love, being loved, friends, vw camper vans!, candles, the smell of jasmine, finding beauty in ugly places, taking photos, sleeping, thinking, dreaming, analysing, being inspired, meeting inspiring people, inspiring others...
