im niki. i study contemporary art at the university of leeds. dont ask me to paint you a picture. i like sculpture and printmaking, basically because its what im best at. theres something awfully satisfying about beating a sheet of metal with a hammer to make something that looks pretty. im only in first year, despite being 21. yeah yeah, so i took a while to decide what i want to do with myself, what of it? i made a good choice in the end though, i love it here. im still finding my feet, but ive met some amazing people and had some brilliant times so far. the next few years will be gooduns, hopefully. i drink too much and study too little. but we're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time. i love fun. whats there not to love about fun?
i like music a fair bit too. im not ashamed of the fact that i dig pop punk and emo...id probably be a total arse if i only liked punk rock and hardcore anyway. i appreciate most things that evoke some kind of reaction or provoke thoughts. songs that make me dance are the best kind of songs. im not a fan of music snobs, im very aware that my tastes arent the only ones that count. i have big holes in my ears and a couple of tattoos. i find it hugely offensive when people say "ooh, youll regret that when youre older". well no actually, i wont. im not a twat, i didnt have something put on my body that im going to regret in 40 years time. at least when i have sagging skin, itll be sagging skin with a bit of character.
i enjoy good nights in and good nights out, weekends away, cherry lambrini and lush food. i dont enjoy early mornings, not finishing what ive started, being poor or inconsiderate people. i have all the time in the world for my family and my real friends. theyre the people who matter the most, innit.
generally, im a nice bird.
