About Me


hello, I'm hannah. I'm a poor student living in the garden of england. I like living where I do, because british things like stephen fry and tea and harrods and wandering around covent garden appeal to my romantic notion of how life ought to be. I also like being a student, because it means I don't have to get a full-time job yet. ha. but, of course, I'm intensely interested in my subjects of choice... english language, sociology and classical civilisation right now... I rather miss philosophy and english literature, which I finished in june. Next year is uni, to study english; where I plan to spend my days reading in coffee shops, and my evenings dancing the night away in pokey indie clubs, vodka and tonic in hand.
my interests are broad and varied, except I'm the least sporty person ever - so that isn't one of them. I like sparkly costume jewellery à la accessorize, glossy magazines, taking photographs, new ideas, artsy films, geek-chic, good writing and anything music-related. I think learning is important; I hate not knowing things and narrowmindedness.
I don't use myspace so much these days, but I'm something of a Facebook addict... so find me there for a cup of tea & a chat. ♥
