About Me

Hmmm... these things are always hard to write. So I'll be boring and talk about myself :P I'm from Issaquah, WA but I study at King's College in London. It's an amazing city to live in. There is so much life and always someone new to meet or things to do. Sadly I'm a bit of a lazy one so I don't go out as much as I should. I've got some amazing friends here, some of the most interesting people I've ever met. I'm studying English Language and Communications so basically I don't have much class... 8 hours a week! I have the most amazing boyfriend, Shahid. He is perfect and I could never ask for anyone better or more perfect for me. I will be moving out of Central London next month to live with him! Eek! An hour commute! Hehe. I'm a huge Bollywood fan and love southern Asian culture. I like to go out with friends, go for coffee, see the city and generally enjoy myself. I also love to travel and see new cultures and learn new languages.

My Interests

Learning languages, meeting new people, travel, volleyball, horseback riding, and going out.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone!

Music:

Lots of alternative. Snow Patrol, The Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers, The Bravery, The Strokes, The Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse, Damien Rice, Joy Division, Ash, Hard-Fi, Bloc Party, Queens of the Stone Age, Arctic Monkies, The Subways, Lost Prophets, Funeral for a Friend, We Are Scientists, Editors, My Chemical Romance, Tom McCrae, Fall Out Boy, Bright Eyes, The Thrills, Stereophonics, Ocean Colour Scene, Embrace, Athlete, Coldplay, The Frames, The White Stripes, Magic Numbers, Razorlight, Jimmy Eat World, and whatever else anyone wants to share! Also Tango and the odd Portugese ballad that Sergio sends. :)) I am a huge fan of Bollywood now. I really like the movie Dil Chahta Hai and a few others. I worship Aamir Khan ;) :P I also am hooked on the song Maula Mere.

Movies:

I love foreign and independent films. Among my favorites are Goodbye Lenin and The Motorcycle Diaries. I also like classics like 10 Things I Hate About You and all. Also I Heart Huckabees. Can't forget good ones like Zoolander. I also really like period pieces like Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. A recent favourite would definately be 'Y tu mama tambien'. Sexy, sexy Mexican boys!!! You and Me and Everyone We Know, De Battre Mon Coeur S'est Arrete, Old School (just because I love Will Ferrell), Baraka, Dr. Strangelove, Bollywood flicks, Ghandi and Beerfest :)

Television:

Little Britain, QI, lots of American crap, Father Ted, Family Guy, American Dad, Hollyoaks, Neighbours, Simpsons.. I don't watch TV that much anymore.Twin Peaks because it was filmed near where I live! Plus I mean great story line. Have found that people really do watch Big Brother live. Fascinating watching people sleep isn't it....New favourites: The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I may just offer to have Steven Colbert's children on the sheer fact that he is a genius and will forever stay in my heart and is THE MAN!!!! :)

Books:

Anything by Steinbeck, I also like comedies. I like to read almost everything. I should since I'm studying English! My favorite book is Second Helpings. It is too good for words. My modern Scottish lit course this term was amazing. My fav book was definately Way To Go. So morbid,but so good! It's deep exploration of the concept and reality of death is mind blowing. It made me get over my fear of dying. I think I may have to try lying in coffins like he did as a kid. Could be a bit too creepy though...

Heroes:

Hmm.. I'd have to say Elizabeth the first and Father Dougal...haha just kidding... well sort of...

Home

Well I'm back in Seattle now. It's so weird. My house seems really big, but then again my flat in Hillhead coudln't exactly be described as spacious. It certainly had personality though. Lots of rotti...
