I am here for Friends

About Me

I can't normally do this bit of profiles very well, I tend to babble and get carried away with irrelevant things, a bit like this. So. I'm Hayley, I'm 19 and I'm from London.I like to think of myself as a fun, easy-going, tolerant and generally amazing person, without any severe psychotic tendencies. I try (and usually succeed) to get along with people, although obviously there are those irritating specimens that make trying completely pointless.I'm a second year student at Leeds Uni studying English. No, I don't want to be an English teacher, but thought that if I was going to put off joining the real world for a few more years, it might as well be whilst doing a subject I enjoy! The real world has an irritating way of invading the carefree uni existence I was trying to lead - I've managed to end up doing two jobs, one of which is at a beauteous call centre, phoning lovely individuals who are always eager to listen to what I have to say and spend thousands of pounds buying the amazing software I try to con them into liking.As you can see, I am not at all delusional...

My Interests

World Literature, politics & current affairs, am a proud member of the Lib Dems and of Amnesty International, sport - football and cricket, theatre, cinema, languages, spanish culture, creative writing. I'm going to Namibia this summer to do some volunteer work at a wildlife centre, which looks absolutely amazing.
