About Me

I'm at my most happiest when I'm dancing away at a gig; I REALLY love live music and I enjoy reviewing bands/performances. I like to chill out with my mates as much as possible. I've just graduated from JMU with a 2:1 in Imaginative Writing - I really enjoyed it but I'm also glad it's over and done with so that now I can concentrate on everything else I want to do. I'm hoping to save up to go travelling; back-packing across Europe to start with and then I'll visit everywhere else in the world... Egypt, Sweden, Iceland, Canada, Australia, Japan and wherever else takes my fancy. Then, I want to follow in Che's footsteps and travel across South America. So I better get saving. It's a life-long passion of mine!!
After all that I want to get an ace job (preferably as a Music Journalist), pay off my debts and find myself a little flat in Liverpool that I can call my own.
I'm a big fan of all things spiritual!! Always reading up on ghosts and stuff like that. Really into mediums, tarot cards and all that malarky... It all scares the life out of me but I just love it so much - it's REALLY interesting stuff. Also, I am rather interested in Paganism and Wicca. I've fallen in love with St. Nectan's Glen near Tintagel in Cornwall - it's the most beautiful pagan site I've ever seen (although I'm not religious in any way and am certainly not a witch!! hehe) Scared you off yet?!
I love... running in big open spaces :: breaking the seal on a coffee jar :: making the first footprints in the snow :: singing at the top of my voice :: dancing around in my bedroom :: the feeling of running my hands through sand or grass :: the smell of freshly baked bread :: the smell of freshly cut grass :: doing top 10's of EVERYTHING :: the smell of rain on a hot road :: kissing in the rain :: lying back and looking at the stars :: listening to the rain tapping on my window :: watching lightning then counting how many seconds until the thunder :: laughing so hard it hurts :: finding something odd in my pocket after a night out then trying to remember how it got there :: sudoku :: putting a hula-hoop on the end of each finger then eating them one by one :: floating away in the bath-tub :: bouncy balls :: ghost stories :: roller-coasters :: donkeys :: doodling :: dragonflies :: tickles :: the feeling of my hairs standing on end :: working on REALLY tough knots :: black coffee :: red wine :: orange jelly :: cities :: BBQs on beaches...at night!! :: making up my own words for things :: Buttons (of the chocolate variety) :: Jelly Tots :: Smarties :: Hersheys/Reeses Cups ...I'll stop there because this may end up being a long list of sweets
I hate... Liquorice!! (...and SPIDERS!! ERLYAK!!) MyGen Profile Generator
