Rock On!!!!

About Me

Drummer and actress. Drum for rock band Emerald Sky. Former British chess champion, started chess aged 5 and was in the top 20 juniors (aged 18s) by the time I was 7. Lived abroad for a few years (France and Spain, with a couple of months in Belgium and Portugal) and toured Europe playing the pro tennis circuit. I guess the main thing I learned was the huge dedication and determination you need to have. I love the adrenaline rush I get from competing, and those rare moments of digging out a win or playing at your best is the greatest feeling in the world. I get the same feeling from performing, which is awesome. Competed against the world number one in 2 sports now, Kasparov at chess and Ivanovic at tennis. Highly pissed I lost both.Please don't forget to say hello to my pet tiger Bubbles below and give him some munchies as I sometimes forget - and he will eat you because that's what tigers tend to do. He can smell fear.
