About Me

I was born in Milton Keynes, England and lived there until I was 4. I have since lived in Naples, and only been back to England once. I don't have an English accent (which makes me very sad) although when I called my dad from England he said I sounded "a tiny smidge English" so there is still hope! I love pretty much anything Irish, Scottish, or English. (although the whole Irish obsession doesnt really make much sense since I am English/Scottish and they generally avoid the Irish... hmmm... go figure.) Anyway, I have been clogging for about 11 years, and Irish dancing for somewhere around 3 years. (its hard to say since I learn from watching/listening and don't actually take classes...) I work as a floral design specialist at Michael's Arts and Crafts, and I really enjoy it.

My Interests

Dance (pretty much any kind), classical literature (mostly British, but there's some other good stuff too), floral design, knitting (i can make dishcloths! yay!), history, and finally- Applebee's (no better place to be on a saturday night!)

I'd like to meet:

Michael Flatley, Jean Butler, Bernadette Flynn, Gillian Norris, Colin Dunne, Sarah Clarke, Daire Nolan, Enya, Dominic Monaghan,
Sean Bean
