Glynis

wish I could speak in just one sweep, what you are and what you mean to me

About Me

I have moved to Manchester, England
I spend too much time at the computer, or shopping
I can usually avoid the food court but Starbucks always seduces me with a cup of tea and a muffin
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

McDonalds Happy Meals. Screaming on rollercoasters. Roadtrips. Finding the perfect shoes. Spending time in the cd store "just looking, thanks" when I actually could use help. Psychology. Reading the same books over and over. Sarcasm. Movie ticket stubs. Remembering the weirdest facts. Metaphors. The supernatural and resulting skepticism. Hating organic chemistry. Discussing films. What Not To Wear. Inappropriate laughter waaayyyy after the joke has gone stale. Self-deprecating humour. Experimenting with makeup. Toast. Wandering around in the forest with a camera.
