I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a 22 year old history graduate (oooh, that's the first time I've described myself as that) who is currently attempting to scrape together enough cash to do an MA in either History or Museums and Heritage so that I can realise my ultimate dream of becoming a curator of either something nice and ancient, or video games. I ain't fussy. I'd describe myself as a quiet person, thoughtful, but perhaps sometimes I can come across as aloof which isn't the case at all, I'm just very shy.

My Interests

In my spare time I love playing video games (especially on my DS), admin at a Zelda fan forum, try (and have been failing horribly) to maintain a small website that details fictional villains and I also enjoy watching and listening to football (that's soccer to you Americans). I love walking out in the countryside, and like taking photographs (even if they usually suck). I've also been known to do some creative writing in my time (mostly fanfiction, though I have written one or two original pieces) and draw badly.

I'd like to meet:

People with a wicked sense of humour, fellow NUFC sufferers (wait, I meant to say supporters!), video game enthusiasts (my friend roster on the DS is woefully small) and just generally decent and groovy people who may or may not be prone to occasional bouts of nutiness.

Music:

Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Keane, The Seatbelts, Tom Waits, Greenday, Annie Lennox, Enya, The Corrs, Feeder, ELO, The Futureheads, Goo Goo Dolls, Hans Zimmer, The Hives, Jose Gonzalez, The Killers, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, The Pixies, Queen, Radiohead, Shakespeare's Sisters, Scissor Sisters, Super Furry Animals, Texas, Casualkai...will add more later
