About Me

I think the things people usually write in this space are so funny (but not of the ha ha variety-no offense.) Is it possible to get an idea of who someone is from a few carefully selected sentences? Probably not. I mean...I could tell you about my beautiful and talented husband Jeremy and our adorable flat in South London. I could say that in only five months I'll (hopefully) graduaute from Goldsmiths college with a degree in fine art and art history and that I like to read and take pictures and ride my bike. In fact, I guess I just did. But that stuff seems so boring. Just once I want someone to be brave enough to write: Sometimes, I'm a F*&^%$G bitch who gets jealous and paranoid and throws temper tantrums, and occassionally I tell white lies to get me way. or Sometimes, I have horrible gas that even I find unbearable and I pick my nose when no one is looking. Well...maybe its better this way. Maybe MySpace is a place to be whoever we want to be, ya know, to just show off the good stuff. I mean, everybody has bad days, but who wants to share that with the whole virtual world-right? SO... here goes. Here is a little bit about me that even those who (really)know me might not know: I like to : ...wear skirts that bellow out when I spin around. ...listen in on strangers conversations when I'm on the tube. ...procrastinate. ...read books in the bath until the water goes cold. ...pick at my cuticles. ...watch game shows on tv (guilty pleasure.) ...eat until I'm way too full. Of course this list isn't all inclusive. Its just what I can think of today (16 Jan) while I sit lazily on my sofa playing on Myspace instead of working on my dissertation. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Fill in the Boxes

My First Memory...Maybe

I've often tried to recall my first memory, but every time I do I end up confusing partial memories with stories that I've been told and pictures I've seen. As far as I can tell, the first thing I ca...
