I am 31 years old, I live in a small town called Elgin in North East Scotland. My main interests are music and Psychology. Whilst working in a call centre for 6 years I studied for a Degree In Psychology with the Open University, much to my surprise I passed this with a good grade. I am now going down the counselling line and am studying towards a Diploma in Counselling at Moray College, I also do some voluntary Listening for a helpline in the UK. As far as music goes I do tinker around with a a few instruments, i own a guitar, tenor saxophone and keyboard which i can almost play ha ha. Mainly i listen to music and I love going to concerts all over the country but mostly in Glasgow and Aberdeen although I have been to concerts in Dublin, London and Prague. Dont know exactly how many Ive been to but its between 50 and 60 from the time i was around 18, now many moons ago. I also like to travel when i can, not in a back packer kind of way but on holiday...I love America, i have now been there twice namely to New York City and Madison WI where my friend Maria is from. I would describe myself as a pretty calm person, i like simple thngs in life such as walking, listening to music as i said, going to gym/fitness class, watching movies and seeing/speaking to friends. Im not a wild party animal, never have been, never will and although some people may find that and the fact i dont drink boring....I love my lifestyle and am happy in myself so whats the point in changing to suit others??? I have had a very varied background, after school i worked as an apprentice plumber which i quit shortly afer qualifying, probably for all the wrong reasons. I have also worked as a Postman, Garden Centre nursery labourer, Factory worker, Call centre agent and now Security guard. For 6 Months in 1999 I was a student Mental health nurse in Aberdeen but I left that course because I knew very quickly it wasnt what I wanted to do. Im still really glad i did it though cause it was a great experience and I met some great people along the way. At one time when I was unemployed I did a short Gym Instructor course with the YMCA in 1997 which I am quite proud of even though I have never worked as an insructor, it meant coming out of my comfort zone a bit and it still feels like a real achievment.
