Started studying Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy at Edinburgh university this year. I know for sure I'm going to love the city and the uni, I'm just not so sure it's the perfect course for me.
I really am worryingly mad, but I have great friends and that's all anyone really needs. I'm a straight edge, always have been, but the majority of my college friends were stoners, so I'm used to sticking out. I live in the middle of nowhere, and don't drive yet, so I spend a lot of time at home and, as such, on the internet doing anything from gaming to writing short stories.
I believe in great personal fortitude in all things; I will defend both my beliefs and those dear to me with great fervour. I love to debate. If I want to do something, I want to do it properly, but if I don't want to do something I will rarely waste energy on it. I hate feeling powerless and weakness is my foe. I am gradually stamping out each of mine. My ignorance is bliss; the ignorance of others is frustrating.
I'm a (hopeless) romantic and writer, although my writing is supernatural/gothic/horror, not romance. I can sing, and am currently being coached, but I'm too shy/lacking in confidence at present to sing in front of people. On the other hand, once I know people, I talk like there's no tomorrow. The music I listen to is varied (although I get called narrow-minded for not liking more popular bands who all sound the same, go figure), I tend to prefer things that are a little different, such as alt rock. I'm also fond of pretty much anything with that "epic" feeling to it, the kind of music you'd lead an army to war with.
And call me old-fashioned, but I'd love to die in battle.
