About Me

'I been silent so long now it's gonna roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my God; you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! But, please. It's still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it's the truth even if it didn't happen.' - Chief Bromden. Ken Kesey, One flew over the cuckoo's nest (Oxford: Picador, 1983 [1962])
I study English Literature at Cardiff; it is very exciting. I live in a house with lots of other people, but they are all very nice. I love music - I play bass guitar and alto sax and am in need of a project!
I used to have more written here, but I thought if you wanted to know something you'd ask.
