About Me

I am 24 and live in Liverpool. I spend most of my time at work these days, which is not too bad because I have a briliant job, but there is always loads of other stuff I would like to be doing as well! I am very passionate about the environment which lead me to do a degree in Environmental Science at Liverpool Uni. Nowdays I acutallly get to make a real difference working for the leading Environmental Charity in Lancashire. I work for the Lancashire Wildlifre Trust at a Nature Reserve in Wigan. I am a football fan and support Everton, I try and get to as many of the games as I can, which sadly is usually 3 or 4 a season. I spent my youth living on the Wirral and subsequently went to many Tranmere Rovers Games. I have fond memories of STANDING in the family enclosure at Prenton Park with my Brother and running the whole way home to see the highlitghs on T.V. I haven't been to a TRFC game since moving to Liverpool in 2000, but maybe one day i will go again. I'm an Irish Dancer and if I ever get time to do the study required I will become a qualified teacher some time over the next year or two i hope. I really love my music as well and I go to lots of Gigs in the Liverpool area with my friends.

My Interests

Everton FC, football in general, Irish Dancing, Conservation and Wildlife, I particularly love Otters! I like to read as much as I can and I read a lot of comical Irish novels aimed at middle aged catholic women! Its a bit sad but I really enjoy them - Marian Keyes especially! I like going on long walks and going to the Cinema and Theatre.

A bit of everything, DON'T LIKE Happy Hard core - yuck, or commercial R&B but I am definitely still forming new music passions.My Friends: Three Hundred Clear, Maevapop, Razor Bianca, Bren Collins, Ricky Russell and Monkey Harris. Been to see Jose Gonzalez, Zero 7, Siguros, Four Tet, Foo Fighters, Strokes, Phoenix and Broken Social Scene this year. I have all the Morcheba albums, love Kosheen and the Frou Frou. Enjoy most of the popular indie stuff around at the moment Arctic Monkeys, Hard Fi, Razor Light etc. Ben Folds is a God and I loved Damien Rice's O' album. I must mention my big favourites at the moment, The Kooks I can't imagine ever getting tired of their album its amazing! I have been known to enjoy dance music when I'm out including Drum & Bass and particularly enjoyed nights like Bugged Out.
