As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way

About Me

I'm 21 and from Kingston, the eldest of six. I'm studying English and creative writing at Falmouth in Cornwall. When I'm there I like swimming in the sea and going on walks, with the wind raging through my hair, the rain beating down on my shivering body and the fresh sea air stinging my burning cheeks. Ah yes, the joys of Cornwall. Lush. The hills are a bugger for cycling and carrying home shopping.After university I'd like to learn a lot more circus and one day write and direct my own shows. I want excitement. I mainly do aerial circus, but am getting back into acrobatics, and have been in a magician's box...where did I go? I don't know - it's magic and I haven't joined the magic circle. I also do a little bit of whip cracking and can spin poi around like a bloody hippy and stilt walk. Juggling requires too much coordination, and I doubt I'll ever get past three balls.Last summer I was performing as a showgirl in Cornwall with Swamp Circus / Circo Kernow, but usually I'm half of Starfiz with Leyla (pictures below of our Kill Bill act). Come and see us in the Big Top at Glastonbury!

My Interests

Circus, reading, swimming, watersports, writing, festivals, travelling on my own, meeting people, music, tea drinking, theatre, dancing, art(but really, pretty pictures and sculptures that you want to touch), mountain biking, dressing up, swinging around, scuba diving...

Music:

I like lots of different music, and love going to festivals to see all the fun small bands in the tiny tents in the small hours.

Books:

So many! Being an English student and all.

Heroes:

The woman from Spannerman...I don't know her name but she was having fun!
