Miss Cho-ca-ree

I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it..

About Me

I'm a slightly quirky little italian, brought up in london for the most part (except when I lived in Rome for a handful of years in my mid teens). I used to study art & design so I guess that way of thinking has still stuck with me, part of who I am I suppose. I've become more and more interested in alternative therapy and will soon be continuing my studies of massage therapy (it's about time!). As that's what I'd really like to be doing.. instead of working in the wonderful world of retail.I guess I'm slightly different to others (though everyone says that, right?) and like to think I look at the world in that way too. I like to understand and get to the essence of things.. I know chit chat and small talk is a way of the world, which is fine, as long as it's sincere. Life is short, what's the point in wasting your time over things you don't truly care about? If you can avoid it anyway.And that's enough rambling for one box ;-)
