The Little Brunette

I dislike many people, but I love many people too and you're one of them.

About Me

I'm Kirsty..and I live a peaceful, yet slightly surreal life in Brighton. I'm a student majoring in Politics, which stretches my hyperactive mind. I enjoy smoking Marlboro Lights, revelling in blissful insanity that can be found all around me, and immersing myself in literature and everything there is to be seen, everywhere. I'm a hopeless dreamer; wishing for things which will never be mine. But don't worry, I still have a very happy life. My favourite thing to do is to sip at a Cosmopolitan and ponder the 'what ifs' of life and history. Burning question: does everything really happen for a reason?

Listeners of Five Live have voted David Cameron the sexiest male MP, with the one and only Boris Johnson in second place, and Labour's Andy Burnham in third. I'd agree wholeheartedly with that.......
