About Me

I'm a girl with itchy feet...can't stay in one place for too much time, too much to see too much to do. Born, raised and educated in Aberdeen, Scotland; fled at age 17 to get to the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne in England to study Music, spent 2 years there then had to get going again; went to Austin, Texas to study at The University of Texas at Austin (studying Flute and Double Bass) in 2004, and returned to Newcastle University in 2005. I graduated in July 2006 and then wasted more than a year working in a shitty sales job at Endsleigh Insurance to pay the bills whilst looking for a job in the Arts. In November 2007 I landed my dream job working as the Development Co-ordinator for a small organisation called Jazz Aberdeen. So now I've moved back to my hometown for the next step in the journey...

My Interests

I play Flute and Double Bass. I am a music geek extraordinaire and proud to admit it. Other than music I spent my time doodling, drinking, cooking, taking pictures, going to the pub, going clubbing to dance my ass off, and bemoaning something or other.

I'd like to meet:

Goths or alternative folk in Aberdeen, anyone with an interest in the dark side of life, anyone with their own damn opinion and a spine to carry it around with them.
People not afraid to argue with me, people who I can debate with for hours only to agree to disagree.
People to enjoy a bottle of red wine with on my bed and muse with under my red lights.
People who can read music and hold an interesting discussion with about Minimalism in the 20th Century.
People I can tolerate.

A few notes, however;
1) TyPe LiKe ThIs AnD fOrGeT aBoUt TaLkInG tO mE...
2) spell lyke dis an i wil cum an kik ur a$$ liek woah lol !!!11!
3) PLEASE TALK TO ME BEFORE ASKING TO BE MY FRIEND
4) Gentlemen, that does not include 'WOW you are HAAAWT!! Hit me up netime sexy!!" Seriously. Fuck right off.
5) I am a grammar Nazi, if you do not [or cannot] spell or punctuate correctly then you will be ignored.
6) Gentlemen, please don't bother contacting me if you are looking for a British girl to marry to get you into the country; the girl you are looking for is NOT ME, seriously.

After all that, I probably won't add you anyway unless I know you irl or online; but go ahead, try...
BANDS, PLEASE DO NOT ADD ME - I WILL NOT ADD YOU BACK.
