I am purple, poetic, and a cuddle monster.
My Self-Summary
Why hello there, thanks for stoppin' by.
I am a writer of
poetry and other things. I work in mental
health, but lost my own long ago. My favourite colour is
purple. I like
cats. I love all
animals in fact, but cats
are my favourites I like
vampires and
vikings. I love
hugs. I love
piercings and
tattoos. I have seven piercings but no
tattoos (yet). I am more or less completely
nocturnal which sometimes makes for
quite a lonely existence. Such is life for a
vampire changeling! I have an
addiction to the use of smileys which I am currently trying to
control (can you tell?). This is probably because I am quite a
smiley person by nature.
Hmmm. I have realised that the above possibly makes me sound a
little odd. Which I am, so it's for the best I suppose =)
But aside from all that I am just a little lost soul really, who
would very much like to find kindred spirits :-)
What I’m doing with my life
Writing. Making sure my cat is pampered. Mental health advisory
stuff and support work. Reading poetry and occasionally doing
poetry readings (so fun!). Sleeping. Laughing and crying
maniacally.
I’m really good at
Writing. I
fluctuate between thinking I'm a genius and thinking I'm a complete
failure, but I love it...I've always loved it.
Making people laugh.
Giving great hugs.
Changing the lyrics of songs so that they're about my cat.
Crumping. hehehehe
The first things people usually notice about me
Good question. I have partially red hair at the moment, possibly
that? Also I'm quite oompa loompa-esque (but without the green
hair, orange skin and sexy white overalls). That is to say, I am
short. Though I wear high heels most of the time. Am I rambling?

me!
Food:
Chocolate
makes the world go round. As do sundried tomatoes. I also have to
drink some form of caffeinated beverage while writing, I'm a bit
OCD about it. It can't be coffee though. I don't know if the
caffeine makes my writing better, but it probably makes it faster
=)
The six things I could never do without
1. My Mum and my Helen (bestest friend in the whole widest
world)
2. Writing, both my own and other people's. There is simply no
comparison to the feeling I get when I'm writing something I'm
really into, or reading something amazing. Bliss.
3. My secret world to hide away in. Group hugs are mandatory
there.
4. My cat. She has taught me a lot about the value of being in the
present moment. Cats never worry about stupid shit. They never
think about the future or the past. They are wise.
5. Cuddles and affection, but I am living without these so I guess
I can do without them after all!
6. Laughter. Mwahahahahahaha! Except less evil than that.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Whatever writing project I'm working on. How and where and when I
can publish things. The fact that I think I should be doing more.
Love. Lots of crazy things I can't really begin to explain here =)
On a typical Friday night I am
Probably writing down words that are banging against the walls of
my brain. It's actually a lot more enjoyable than it sounds.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
- I really wish life was a musical
- I secretly long to be a rapper, or a burlesque queen. I don't
know which is more unlikely :p
- I am extremely socially awkward. Some people confuse this with
being anti-social, but it's not the same!
- I think life would be a lot easier if I was a cat.
You should message me if
You're kind and nice. You like hugs. You're lonely. You're happy.
You're crazy in a non-stabby way. You're none of the above, but you
want to =)
