About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
Hmm...well, how to describe myself? You can probably tell already from my profile that I'm a student in London, studying Anthropology. I can't be bothered to explain what that is, sorry! Google it. Student life is cool, just got a house next year in Turnpike Lane so everythings sorted :). Even if I'm going to have to study monkeys again next year :(
Depending on who you talk to, I'm sarcastic, miserable, interesting, mean...I dunno. But recently the interesting has been outweighing the bad stuff, so maybe I'm growing as a person or something cheesy like that. I like good conversations, not much for the small talk. HATE talking in clubs, I can never hear the other person. Plus, there are far more interesting things to do on the dancefloor...
I'm very liberal- you'd have to go a long way to shock me or to stop me supporting your lifestyle choice. It's probably a side-effect of studying anthropology! One of the things that scares me most is religious fundementalism, or indeed fundementalism of any kind. Richard Dawkins is as bad as anyone. Beware people who use the phrase 'for the greater good'.
I am obsessed with websites like www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com and I'm not ashamed. Meh.
I attract wannabe teachers like nobody's business. This is because I am special. Or because they sense that I need to be disciplined. Lol.
Mmm...I like lots of things and hate a few others, there's some handy lists below for reference. I like a good whinge sometimes but who doesn't? At least I'm honest, lol.
I like...
♥ GHD hair straighteners ♥ chocolate ♥ cats ♥ Topshop ♥ pies ♥ pumps ♥
♥ lipbalm ♥ American TV ♥ Accessorize sales ♥ Absolut vodka ♥ MSN ♥

My Interests

Reading, drinking, gymming, pubbing, whinging, shopping, sexing, tidying, eating and anthropology-ing.

Taboos; gender issues; trying to find the problem with feminism; city life; unanswerable philosophical debates; moral dilemmas; things that cannot be articulated or defined; consumerism; manufactured music; manufactured culture; globalism; localism.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that understands sarcasm, won't mess me around and likes a good drink.
p.s. Must have good grammar and spelling.
p.p.s. Must be fairly clean.

Music:

Imogen Heap (an orgasm for the ears), Frou Frou (ditto), Garbage, Placebo, Prince, Girls Aloud, Peaches, Faithless, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Jeff Buckley, Arctic Monkeys, Regina Spektor, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi. Bit of everything really, except reggae or death metal.

Movies:

Anything shiny, fake and well-choreographed e.g. 'V For Vendetta', 'The Matrix', 'Equilibrium'. I can't really claim to be a discerning viewer I'm afraid.

Television:

'Heroes', 'Peep Show', 'House', 'Scrubs', 'Black Books'...don't have a tv at the moment...

Books:

I spend way too much money on books...they should just pay my student loan to Waterstones at this point I think. Love reading anthropology books, those popular science thingies - the exception being Richard Dawkins - and dystopian novels such as '1984' and 'Oryx And Crake'.
