About Me

Lyrics
Myspace Graphics - Myspace LayoutsHey! I am Grace and I'm a 22 year old graduate of the University of Hull (with a first in English and Film Studies). I've recently managed to get myself a fantastic new job and am hoping to develop a career in Arts Administration/Management from this point. It's very exciting to be embarking upon something I am truly passionate about and a privilege to be spending so much time in such a dynamic environment. Yay! I have both a serious and a crazy side, which I think is a good balance. I am lucky to have many lovely friends including a best friend, Joey, who I was fortunate enough to meet in fresher's week! I am very sociable and love going out dancing, drinking and generally having a good time. I also enjoy theatre, cinema, reading, listening to many and varied types of music and singing. I swim and run when I am not feeling lazy and mostly when the weather permits! At other times I sit on my bum and eat sweets. This is also a healthy balance. My favourite colours are currently red and green, although this is subject to change! Food-wise, I enjoy most types of cuisine and am a BIG chocolate fan (who isn't?). I mainly drink beer, wine and vodka and also have a serious coffee habit. And I am an only child but nice (not spoiled!). I'm a lesbian but more than a little disillusioned with the gay scene in my area. Happily single at the moment I'm nevertheless such a romantic that I eventually hope to find my soulmate and settle down. However, most people currently only seem to want my body (joke...ish!). Surely there's room inbetween all the rampant sex for some of the finer feelings such as respect and friendship. Or am I the only one who thinks that? Anyway, friendship is invited and romantic interest appreciated but only if you want my mind and soul along with my body. Not much to ask. MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

Theatre, cinema, clubbing, dancing, drinking, meals out, reading, swimming, walking and running, music, spending time with friends, holidays, shopping(when I have money!), and cuddles...I really like cuddles

adopt your own virtual pet! Funkey is cool.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting and interested people. Someone to cuddle would also be lovely as I'm missing that. Preferably that person would be kind and caring and wouldn't want to mess with my head or play power games with me - call me picky but it's not my thing!
Your Candy Heart Says "Hug Me"
A total sweetheart, you always have a lot of love to give out.
Your heart is open to where ever love takes you!

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out

Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking

What turns you off: fighting and conflict

Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love What Does Your Candy Heart Say?That seems quite accurate!
You Are a Bloody Mary
You're a fairly serious drinker, who's experimented a lot with different drinks.
You're a drunk, but a stable drunk. You don't ever let your drinking get out of control. What Mixed Drink Are You?Lol. Well, I'm not that keen on Bloody Marys but what it says sounds about right!
Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence
You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well.
An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly.
You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view.
A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.

You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator. What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?This is good news indeed!

Just because...

Just because I'm feminine... Don't think you have to open doors for me, or that I can't win my own bread, or that I can't be the strong one when it all goes wrong for you. Just because I wear makeup.....

Lesbianism...a minefield

Well everyone, I've had a couple of festive drinks and am rather contemplative as a result so thought I'd post a blog on something that really preoccupies me at the moment. It was during the Christmas...

Poem to a love I don't know yet...

I want to love, not bind you,Nor walk in front of or behind you,But side by side,Hand in hand,Encounter common land. I want to see and hear you,Not disempower you or fear you,But watch you fly,Le...
