I am excitable, academic, and scatterbrained.

My Self-Summary

Ummm...I'm a teacher and as the quote goes, "I face my inner demons everyday - 30 of them". Not sure how I ended up teaching, and most days not sure why I bother! I'm into psychology, but not really sure what to do next! I love travelling - I had a year in Australia which was fantastic! I also love to read, particularly non-fiction biographical stuff - just finished reading Myra Hindley's biography. I'm not a huge clubber, but prefer pubs where I can have a drink and chat about random things, although as soon as I go so far as to say I hate clubbing, I have a night out with friends and it's fantastic! Very strange. Im really into learning new random things, particularly languages and love roller coasters. Some of the happiest times of my life have been working on summer camps in the USA and I've also worked with kids with autism and ADHD which was fantastic.
I love The L Word and am re-watching all the seasons at the mo - so fab! It's so hard to sum yourself up in a little box like this, but drop me a line if you want to know anymore :o)

What I’m doing with my life

Teaching....ugggghhhhhhh
Help.

I’m really good at

Giving advice, procrastinating, remembering random facts, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time!

The first things people usually notice about me

I've been told my eyes.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Torey Hayden and crime stuff
Movies: Anything easy to follow, e.g. Bridget Jones' Diary, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Muriel's Wedding etc....also psychological thrillers (as long as they're not gory!)
Music: Matchbox Twenty, Hinder, Pink....I like most stuff but find R&B annoying.
Food: Ooh I love food! :D Italian and Mexican - yum! Can't stand curries - ugh!

The six things I could never do without

My Mum (awww she's awesome!)
My friends
The L word boxset
Internet
Bread
Cigarettes (I'm trying to give up, it's soooo tough!)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Who I am, and why am I the way I am....
What did I do to deserve such fantastic friends?
Why can't I live in America or Australia?
Will I ever fall in love?
Where will I be in 10 years?
What should I do instead of teaching?
Why do so many horrible things happen in this world?
Where do we go when we die?

On a typical Friday night I am

The sad truth is that this year the answer is most likely "planning lessons"...grrrr...but that's because I'm living back at home to save money and don't know anyone!
A few years ago, I would have said "out with my friends, either at a bbq on a summer's evening, or at a pub catching up for drinks etc". Hoping that soon things will start getting back to the way they once were!

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Message me and ask! (Don't want my pesky students reading this!)

You should message me if

You want to chat and send random emails to pass the time
