I don't know... I'll get to this.

Postgraduate at Oxford Brookes, also work with computers there. At work I hang around and read, meet people, go to sessions and stuff and do projects and things involving programming and that sort of thing. I like it for now.
I'm doing an ECDL qualification and I'm a team mentor in an IT project at uni where the children do computery things and I mentorise them.

I read a lot of non-work stuff too, in the uni library; I suppose a lot of my interests are sub-topics of psychology or biology.

I'm also walking all over the place every day, and collecting tree seeds to plant. I have quite a nice forest of home-grown saplings at home.

Thinking, walking, programming, listening, writing, identifying plants, cooking, eating, fishing, archaic video/computer games, tasting wine, drumming..well I'm not bad.
Having random things to say about stuff.

How lovely I look today.

Books: I like some random novels and authors although I don't read much fiction these days :(

I have a sort of bibliotherapy approach to feeling good in life so I read a lot of science and psychology books in addition to the reading I do for uni. Some recent recent books I've read are Games People Play (Eric Berne), I'm OK - You're OK (Thomas Harris), both about Transactional Analysis.

I love The Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane, which is a travel writing book. It's about valleys, woodland, estuaries, mountains, islands and other geological features in UK. It's full of descriptions of trees and plants, birds and beasts, soil types, rock types, weather and nature in general.

Another awesome travel-writing book I love is called Travels with Boogie, by Mark Wallington; about a guy and his dog going for epic adventures on foot and boat throughout Britain.

Adrian Mole Diaries - absolute classic.

The books by Paulo Coelho were incredible when I read them as a teenager. I think I read the Alchemist, the Pilgrimage and the Valkyries, although I haven't re-read them since.

I did go through a phase of being obsessed with Ben Elton novels. They're not amazing in terms of literature, but they're entertaining and witty.

Always liked a bit of Stephen King.

Random lyrics and/or drum beats

The history of Oxford and the small lanes, which were main carriageways hundreds of years ago; and the people who must have been down those roads like the historic Kings and Queens of England who traveled to Oxford from London by horse; the trees and plants that must have surrounded the roads and the fields in times gone by, and the trees that are there now; and when these trees were planted, and by whom they were planted.

just doing my thing. Usually working, or reading, or walking. Occasionally out and about, but not that often really. Just trying to write this makes me feel like I ought to get out there more.

I'm having Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Uni is paying for this. So if you're a Brooks student reading this then HA! The reason your fees are so high is because they've got basket cases like me to deal with :p and CBT isn't cheap.

You are bored/you want to communicate/you have something to tell me or something to ask me/etc
