About Me

my name is Nicola.
I am a girl, and I'm 19 years old.
I have newly red hair and weird green grey eyes.
Am at uni now, which makes me even more lazy than previously. oh well. i have lovely flat mates though, which is good!
i am an eternal pessimist. oh well, at least i'll live longer.
I like wearing my sunglasses and pretending im a 50's movie star. even though its probably quite obvious im not, and i just look like a girl posing in some cheap sunglasses.
I like music a lot, I'm usually listening to something and more often than not singing along also. I like buying cds and vinyl.
One day I shall be an old spinster and live in a big house in the countryside. i shall be the rudest old person you ever did meet because i shall never find a nice man and it will be really sad. oh and i shall smoke a pipe. thats the only bit of old age im looking forward to.
i like old lady names and tea-dances.
at the moment i'm also addicted to drinking jasmine tea. i dont think its good for my throat but oh well. it tastes nice.
i play the piano. i usually play chopin. or the dresden dolls.
thats all you really need to know.

My Interests

Chiefly I am interested in:
music
tea-dances.
tea in general, drinking it, visiting tea rooms etc...
old lady names.
vinyl.
being happy
watching old films
burlesque performers. i think they are beautiful.
learning new things. unless they involve exercise.
sleeping. i love sleeping a lot.
driving in florence(my car). she is lovely.
shopping at blue rinse in leeds.
reading.
talking, laughing, having fun. oh and drinking. musnt forget the drinking.
