Well that was an end of an era. I've now finished working for Sony Pictures and at the time of writing this, I'm on a two week break before I start a 3-year degree at the University of Warwick. I'll start on 30th September 2006. Absolutely loved the past year, and I feel I've learned one hell of a lot. It's now time for another phase of my life... scary to think I'm already 25% of the way through it! I think I'll definitely have a mid-life crisis when I'm older.

I'm a strong supporter of Make Poverty History - I have the band on my wrist, I went to Live 8 and I even wear the boxers.

I'm not someone that always/never likes to do things. For instance, you can't say I love or hate marmite - cause I will eat it sometimes and think 'mmm!' and other times I'll think 'oh thats not very nice at all'. If you get to know me well enought you'll also be able to tell that I contradict myself in the same sentence all the time. For instance I'll say 'ah i love that band, but they are a bit shit' or 'He's a really nice bloke but is also a bit of a twat'. Things like that! Jonny & Loz know what I mean. Finally, I don't like, in fact I generally hate people who cheat (in games e.g. poker, not relationships - though I frown on that), manipulate, bully or belittle people. I like people who are their own person, different, don't care what others think. I don't ever look down on people for being the way they are - thats one of the main reasons I have a variety of friends. Those that are intellectual and going to Cambridge Uni, and those that left school at 16. I have friends that don't drink at all, and those that only seem to drink! And I like them all!

I've also realised recently, that (strange though it may sound), I like to know people really well. Well enough, in fact, that I can argue with them and not feel awkward or bad about it, and not having to worry about damage to a friendship. It's healthy to disagree. Although that doesn't mean I want to argue!

I'm also a little strange in the way that I like to avoid odd numbers (I got out of that when I was younger until Sophie refreshed the irritation caused by odd numbers!) I am a bit of a perfectionist, and I can't let things go that easily. For instance, there should always be two spaces after a full stop, capitals are important in sentences - its a bit of a niggle if they're missing. Also symmetry is good. I'm sure theres a fair few strange little things about me, such as the above, that I haven't mentioned!

I was recently told I am 'metro'. Not too sure what that meant at first but I took it as a good thing. Technically I suppose it means metropolitan, and you see a lot of people like me in London. However I understand it as 'straight with gay clothes'. Hmm!! To be perfectly honest, thats all a bit of a joke that I play up to though! I probably also ought to stress that I'm not gay. Someone asked me if I was the other day - it was a little embarrasing! I have an "edge" to me apparently. That makes me "edgilible". That's thanks to Loz, Lucy & Kate.
