...too much for you?

About Me

I recieved alot of compliments this week so will put them down :)
I have a 'morale boosting smile' (Sir Johnny Allen, creator of the biosphere!) and 'a lovely voice' (Ms. Jane Pyle) which sounds 'all posh and a bit breathy' (Mr. Tom Webster) but that's only when I'm doing announcements at work. Normally I sound a bit like a toddler, constantly chatting away in Bracknell-ease, throwing in swearwords where they do not really belong and giggling alot. I swing between being either hyper and foolishly optimistic, or horrid like a troll and whinging, usually about the nonsense that is inflicted upon me at work every day. I like singing in the car and shouting the names of animals and things I see out loud.
All of this makes me sound dead dizzy, which mostly I am, but I'm a theatre techie too, which makes me akin to a superhero in many ways.
Fact.

My Interests

Tea and cake. Used to say going to the gym there, but turns out I don't really enjoy it at all, so tea and cake it is :) Scones in particular, with clotted cream and raspberry jam. I like theatre and stuff, cheeeese, kittens, posh ice cream, eating out, going to gigs and 'socialising with friends' as you would say on your cv. I like aquariums and playing arcade games and going to the zoo. I love a good bargain, and free food is the best. I like visiting foreign places and doing things that will probably not make me look cool. I will address you with a variation on your full name at the first chance I get. Am thinking of learning to play the guitar.

I'll let you know if I actually get round to it.

I'd like to meet:

Captain Jack Sparrow, and Simon Pegg; Legend.

Love this:
