I am here for Friends

About Me

This is a completely alien experience for me, but i suppose it's time I tried to get up to date with technology... Not that i actually know how to make a profile (I'm being helped by my 'my space' friends at varsity to get my act together on this...) I'm not really saying anything about myself yet, so i'd better get to it:I'm eighteen years old (a wee lass), and am studying Social Science degree at the University of Cape Town. I live in Obs, and my social life also (sadly) revolves around that area.
