About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

5ft1,natural blonde but currently brunette, brown-eyed lass, 3rd Year at Liverpool University studying Medicine. Music is very much a passion. Indie lass at heart swaying and weaving my way in and out of alternative and electro and folk and rock etc etc, one ought to never pin themselves down to one genre... Absolutely adore seeing new bands and watching them progress... nothing beats seeing live music. Also busy studying and learning the guitar, slight progress being made.
Loves/Likes/Dislikes/Hates: Front row of gigs is a must. I hate marmite. Autumn days are by far the best. I like Ice Skating. I dislike peanut butter - a lot. I like dancing away to my ipod. I love Greenwing! I really dont like the dried banana and berries in breakfast cereals. I hate it when people use the laws of science incorrectly to explain something in a book/film. I love it when you hear a song on the radio and you can remember an exact point/time in your life when you felt like that. I love HP Fruity. I like being up early when the morning still feels fresh. I hate when southeners (or anyone for that case) calls tea-time dinner-time; dinner-time is lunch time- fools. I like shooting stars. I love it when you have heard of a band that very few people know and in conversation with another you realise that they are just as bigger fan as you are. I hate the sound of material being ripped, it shudders right through me. I hate it when I don't have enough blu-tac and my posters fall down. I like the fact that our student home now feels complete with our very own traffic cone. I hate that our student house is falling to pieces and will one day kill us through faulty wiring. I like popping bubble wrap. I like the cold side of the pillow in the mornings. I hate that I spent too much time messing on facebook and myspace. I belong at Lowlands. I like looking at all the guitars in the guitar shop window when waiting for my morning bus. I like skimming stones- especially when you get more than 6 bounces. I love Cherub. I adore doing all the graphic art designing work for the "Get It Loud In Libraries" music project in return for guestlist status mwhahaha...

My Interests

Obviously music. I like Arty stuff. Occassional bits of painting and drawing. Photography is amazing. I easily waste my afternoons taking arty/abstract photos. Sports I like too, hockey, badminton, running etc walking out in the mountains.... Adore rock climbing, fantastic when I get the oppertunity. Trained as a Rock Climbing/Abseiling Instructor so I teach groups of kids to climb/abseil when I can. oh and science. I like Science.
