About Me

Hey I'm Karen, currently living it up in Colchester and do my 9-5 bit in London. A wise man once said life is far too important to be taken seriously. I appreciate the simple things such as having a laugh and getting pissed! I'm a bit of a party animal and can drink many under (or over) the table. Mates are very important to me. Music is my soulmate. Rock and roll is the way forward, please take note kids. One day I hope to find the cure for that monster hangover..become a millionaire and sit back and tell the grandkids over a pint how I rid the world of sickies.
