About Me

I am a nice girl. I like the sound of rain. I like baking (and eating) cakes. I like hugs. I am a bit of an introvert. I like to knit. I am a realist. I like looking at rainbows. My favourite colour is Yellow. I am a natural born worrier. I tend to over analysis anything and everything. I think a lot. I am slightly paranoid. I like red wine. I am quite a fussy eater. I like watching the sunset. I like taking long walks in the park. My favourite vegetable is Broccoli.www.madewithhands.co.uk (DITCHED MAGAZINE NOMINEE OF THE GUARDIAN STUDENT MEDIA AWARD 2006)
