About Me

My name is Els. I like the little things. I like random acts of kindness. I like being constantly perplexed. I like to dance. I like being proved wrong about people/things/bands. I like photography, and should get more practice at it. I like unexpectedly beautiful things.Before this all gets far too smug and serious, I also like green tea, The Mighty Boosh and 'Your Mum' jokes. Generally, life is good on a whole range of levels.
