About Me

When I was growing up, I was a geek. I watched X-men and transformers, I played computer games on my amiga, and was generally very clever and good at science (but sucked at maths).

When I became a teenager, I realised this was not a cool look. So I started karate, got a haircut, got fitted for contact lenses, and took up witchcraft (as you do). I chose artier subjects for GCSE and A-level, and drew naked ppl in st. ives

Now that Im technically an adult, I find that geekery is "in". You cant win! :-P Fortunantly I never really left my nerdish ways, so now that I find myself needing to sprinkle HTML and graphic designs here and there, it is easy. Also, I still sometimes read other people's copy of new scientist. I work at Lush in Carnaby street, study part time at the Barbara Brennan school of healing, and next year am gonna start a social work BA (I dropped out of psych BA because there was too much maths in it. Ha!)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Urm. Anyone vaguely arty, or musical, or academic, or broad minded, or spiritual, for good times! Yeah Im here to make real life friends rather than create a myspace empire of ppl I dont know and will never meet, so definitely people up for day trips, shopping expeditions, gig outings, coffee drinkings, and popstarz visitings.
