Hi there, Im a friendly, slightly shy girl who would like to meet
some nice new friendly people! I'm pretty outgoing and have
ecclectic tastes in most things, I suppose I would class myself as
being a little geeky...but deffinately in a good way!!
Any how...read on and see!!
Well, I have completed my first year at university successfully and
will be embarking on my first year of
Medicine in September! I am really
rather excited about getting back to city life and the joy of
studying!!
Currently this summer I have been living a thrifty existence due to
a lack of work but indulging my hobbies quite a bit. I have never
read so many books in such a short amount of time!
Studying....which I hope will stand me in good stead! Im not sure
what else really without making me sound arrogant so Im going to
stop there!
Im not sure really as I very rarely bump into myself! I suppose
people notice my hair, its long and curly and aubern and after that
I would like to think its my face!!
Books: Im an avid
reader and passionate about literature so this is quite a hard one
to summarise! I also have a passion for graphic novels and comics
which most people find hilarious but there ya go!! Most recently I
have read Ishiguru - The Unconsoled, Muriel Sparks - The Girls of
Slender Means, Marguerite Duras - The Ravishing of Lol Stein,
Martin Amis - Other People, Edith Wharton - Etnak Frome and JG
Ballard - Kingdom Come.....Ive also read a fair few more but theyre
the most recent!!
Total favorites have got to include To Kill a Mocking Bird, The
World According to Garp, The Cider House Rules, Choke, Catch 22, Of
Mice and Men, 1984, The Spire, The Bonfire of the Vanities, A
Maggot.....this list will just keep growing!
Films: Again, Im a
bit of a film fanatic so another hard one to summarise. One of my
favorites is The Silence of the Lambs, Perfect Blue... I love Alice
by Jan Svankmajer, Tim Burton films, I love the batman films (apart
from forever and batman and robin!) I like films by Alfred
Hitchcock alot too especially Vertigo, Rope, Psycho and North by
Northwest. Donnie Darko, American beauty, Hidden, There will be
Blood, No country for old men, dont look now, belle de jour, sin
city....... There really are way too many to write about
here!!
Music: Again quite ecclectic but I mainly listen to alternative and
Classical. I
also like most mainstream stuff but Im not a big fan of rap and
dance music! Im also quite fond of big band swing, 20's jazz and
anything with a yester year feel to it when in a nostalgic
mood!!
Food: I dont really have a favorite food, Im quite adventurous with
my tastes so am always up for trying something new...sushi however
is the one thing that I really dont like the idea of!!
my life and what I am doing with it, strange things that have no
reason to be popping into my mind, where my keys are, whether I
have done enough work for monday, what day it is...that kind of
thing!!
This varies quite alot! I'm either out and about with some friends
doing some terrible dancing and the like or Im staying in being
studious and working away at some exciting new topic!
Ideally I would like to be snuggled down reading a book or watching
a great film with a glass of ((red wine))!!
