About Me

MyGen Profile Generator So what do I say now?
If you know me there isn't much I can say that you don't already do know...
...and if you don't know me surely you would be better hearing it from me face to face.
hmmm.... difficult....
maybe I should make a list of stuff I like
except there's one of those over their that we can all seehmmm.... very difficult
well the basics are;
I live in Blagdon most of the time, except for from October when I move to Birmingham for terms at a time and go study English at the uni.
I have two parents and a brother (right little nuclear family)
I also have a bear called splodge, though he doesn't like to travel as much as he used to, so though he's coming to Uni he doesn't go on holiday anymore
I sing a lot and occassionally it's in tune (hurrah!)
I also drive a car, who is called 'little car' by me, and 'my car' by my mum. When I drive little car we go on adventures, although they aren't always fun and sometimes result in accidents or near misses - but only sometimes
I went to Reading Festival this year. It was my first festival and I had a lot of fun seeing bands, going on random trips to random places, ranting about the manwash and getting my nose pierced
Not sure what else I can say really... guess you'll just have to read what there is!
