Language is populated- overpopulated- with the intentions of others.

About Me

I'm currently studying part-time for a Masters in Contemporary Approaches to English Studies(?!) which is basically Postcolonial and Globalisation theory with an element of Literary theory thrown in there just to confuse me further! I also work as a freelance florist to fund the confusion but I'm hoping to finish studying and get a proper job working with humans really soon. At the moment I am living in South Woodford with my wonderful partner of four years, Dave and am foolishly happy. I love to travel, meet new people and listen to their stories. I also enjoy spending time with my lovely friends and family.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests
