About Me


.. Cool MySpace Layouts
Cute MySpace LayoutsAbout me…well. I think I’m a pretty fun and caring person. The most important things to me are my friends and family. I’m an active outdoorsy type and have always been passionate about music and fitness! I love dancing, laughing, fun with friends and meeting new people. Those who know me know that I am capable of taking the words ‘introvert’ and ‘extrovert’ to the extreme! I think my biggest downfall is that I am very emotional and think far too much. I went to Nottingham Trent Uni to do a degree in Textile Design and have since started up in business designing and making bridal accessories which I love. (Incidentally if anyone knows anyone getting married or attending a wedding/function that may require a headpiece do let me know!)Living in Peterborough isn’t the most fun a girl can have but I like to try! For those of you who are not familiar with ‘The Boro’ here are a few points:GOOD 1) Hometown of Shades of Rhythm and half of The Prodigy! 2) The Rowing lake is one of the biggest and best in Britain (fact). People come from miles away to row here and it exceeds even Cambridge/Henleys facilities as they only have a river so can only ever race two boats at a time. 3) A scene from one of the James Bond movies was filmed at Nene Valley railway 4) The cathedral is arguably one of the most important pieces of gothic architecture in England. …struggling now… Ferry Meadows is quite nice?!BAD 1)It’s a chav breeding ground. (I actually saw a girl trying to get her baby to smoke a fag outside Tesco the other day. 2)It has recently come out in a study as one of Britain’s obesity hotspots. 3)Bit of a goth / emo epidemic breaking out on Cathedral square, our city centre. 4)Approximately 8 people live here……… 5)There is nowhere good to dance so I end up spending a fortune, getting hammered and getting myself into trouble! JUDGE FOR YOURSELF....SI AND SOME GROUPIE! "HI I'M JOE AND I'M COMPLETELY STRAIGHT"

Books:

I love reading but it usually takes me ages to get through a book as I have several on the go at once. Robert Asprin, (genius!), Dan Brown, Stephen King, (particularly Gerald's Game, Desparation and Needful Things), Dean Koontz, George Orwell (1984),Michael Crichton, Agatha Christie and J.K.Rowling. I'm currently reading a book called 'The Answers', an excellent read, very thought provoking.
