'My self-summary' eh?

How do I go about this? Do I pretend it's a job interview and highlight all my 'best' qualities, the ones I think a potential 'employer' might be interested in, or do I pretend like we're friends and be self-depreciating and witty?

I haven't decided.

I'm 27, I'm from Donegal originally but I've lived 'down this end of the country' for quite some time now. I've grown to love Dublin. It can be a pretty wonderful city.

I studied English and History, and I love them. Career-wise - I'm unemployed at the minute. Desperately trying to figure out a way to do what I love for a living. My last little bit of innocence perhaps, clinging naively to the hope that it'll happen. I worked in the fast-paced world of data-entry until my brain turned into porridge and the only way to stop it dribbling out of my ears was to stop pressing ctrl + c and ctrl + v a thousand times a day every day.
Have recently started (hesitantly) applying for these jobs again. What can I say. Money is nice. I mean I hate it. It's a love hate thing.

I love all the usual things - cinema, music, socialising.... you know the things that separate us from the animals.

Reading the internet.
All of the internet.

over thinking things.

My accent. All the time. Never gets old though :)

FavoUrite - there's a 'u' in favourite.

I tried listing a few of my favourite books and it was ridiculous. So here's what I don't like instead, I figure that's easier.
I'm not a huge fan of -
- the celebrity autobiography,
- anything that features 'ex-military' servicemen (dick-lit?)
- chick-lit
- John Grisham

Music
I enjoy everything from Bowie to Muse, Talking Heads to Stevie Wonder, Incubus to System of a Down, Vitalic to Prince and all else in between. I like everything...within reason.

Films
Sin City, 300, Shallow Grave, The Breakfast Club, Harry Potter (don't you judge me!), Back to the Future, Interview with the Vampire, The Goonies, Party Monster, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, The Charlie's and their Chocolate Factory, Starship Troopers, The Adventures of Pricilla Queen of the Desert, Star Wars (yes all of them) and loads more. I try to avoid anything that'll *really* offend me and I'm not great with horror. I like sleeping.

TV
I love South Park, That 70s Show, My name is Earl, Heroes, Dexter, Black Books, Death Note, Rome, Game of Thrones, It's always Sunny, OZ, True Blood...

Food
I can't really think of anything that I don't like or won't try. I'll be honest, I've gone out with a few 'fussy' eaters and it irks me.
I don't like tea. Apparently that means I'm not *really* Irish. I dunno.

I really don't like this question.

I could never do without
air, running water, a roof over my head, clothing and shoes of some form, food, sunlight.

Things I've grown accustomed to (thanks to the social conditions into which I was born) and would prefer not to go without -

The internet, my phone, diet coke, tobacco, my bed, contraceptives.

Everything. I can't switch this thing off.

I'm unemployed, I don't know what that 'Friday feeling' is anymore.

My name is not in fact Greymalkin_

If you're a lefty-feminist :)
If you've something interesting you just *have* to share with someone
If you like stuff and things.
