Culture Sucks Down Words

About Me

No big spiel here- I am an English degree student, in my final year, and preparing to begin a three year PhD in English Language. I play in an indie band (The Remedy, also in the process of starting a new band- watch this space! ), and enjoy music, football, tennis, mc donalds, films and alternative comedy. Without these things my life would involve sleeping and eating. My friends are all wonderful and the only problem I ever have is that I don't always have time to see them all! If you're really interested then here's a survey I nicked off a cool mate!
