About Me

As you can see from my headline, I love purple so much that Purplegirl is my nickname! I was born in 1979, so that makes me a 'Thatcher Baby', now that I'm getting nearer 30 I feel immature for my age, but then life is for living and it lasts longer if you let yourself be free! I long for a decade that had already passed by the time I came into the world, that is the 1960s. I love the television, films, music and some of the clothing from that period. I'm also firmly in my own time period as I love indie and rock from the 1990s and 2000s. I'm studying accountancy at the moment as I love working with figures. I don't know if that makes me sound boring, but I don't care either! Just think of all the money I could potentially make!!! One thing people hate about me is my tendency to be pedantic and I hate seeing spelling and grammar errors, my pet hates being misplaced apostrophes and using 'of' as the longer version of 've, ie would of instead of would have. Well, I think that makes up a pretty good picture of the type of person I am.

My Interests

I love to read books and magazines, cross stitch, write poems and fiction and do puzzles, particularly Su Doku.

Music:

I have a MP3 player (not an Ipod, thank God!), so I get through quite a lot of music on the bus and at work. My favourite bands are The Beatles, Space, Bluetones, The Automatic, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Offspring, System of a Down, Zero 7 and Skinny, amongst others. I own at least 2 albums by each of them. I don't know if The Beatles is an obvious choice or a cop-out, but their sound is so diverse, it's like listening to several bands in one.

I did get an interview at last, but didn't get the job as one of the other 2 interviewees ticked more boxes than I did. But it doesn't matter as I'm staying on at work until the new year! Yay, more mo...

Job?

Why can't I find a job out there? Nobody seems to want to interview me, or even let me know that they don't! I feel like time is running out...

Irritating infections

Urgh! I have been half-deaf for nearly a month now and even though a bit of hearing came back, I still have dreadful tinnutis! Went back to the docs today and I now have an ear infection! I have antib...
