I am smart, bookish, and interested.
My Self-Summary
I've just moved to London and want to experience everything this
city has to offer- preferably with some company...
I'm a geeky girl by nature, but geeky about almost everything-
books,
food,
tech,
futurism,
history &
archaeology. I spend far too much of
my time reading and not enough doing.
For me, a perfect day would be eating
sushi and
wagashi in Regents Park, followed by a
trip to a museum or two, and then a long hazy afternoon spent
talking about every subject under the sun (bar reality TV, or what
any celebrity is up to) with a bottle of wine or two.
I've been single on and off for a few years, and I tend to struggle
to find time for relationships. But I think it's time I start
making time, for the right person.
I want someone with whom I stay up till 4am because going to sleep
would be a waste of precious adventuring or conversing time, who
will not complete me, because if I'm incomplete without you I'll
never be complete with you, but who will make life brighter, who
will drag me away from my books blinking into the light. Not that
I'm demanding or anything!
What I’m doing with my life
I've just started a graduate scheme, and have moved down from the
Midlands to London. I'm quite career focused, and I do have a job
that requires travel and late nights, which any prospective partner
would have to respect.
I’m really good at
recalling useless facts
The first things people usually notice about me
Long curly henna'ed hair
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books- I haven't yet met a book I haven't liked. I tend to read
sci-fi and fantasy for fun, poetry to help make sense of my life,
and non-fiction to try and make sense of the world.
Movies- I like quirky foreign films (The Two Sides of The Bed,
Whale Rider), some animation (like Studio Ghibli) and a lot of bad
but good rom-coms and sci-fi action films. I can't stand
horror.
Music- I like Dar Williams, Ani Difranco, The Clumsy Lovers, and
lots of other faintly obscure artists I found on eMusic. I'm
completely out of step when it comes to recent music.
Food- I adore good Japanese food and Indian (especially south
Indian) food, but I'm willing to try most things. I am vegetarian,
which is an occasional hinderance to trying everything, but it's
something I am committed to.
The six things I could never do without
-iPhone (without the map function, I would be lost
constantly)
-a credit card for emergencies
-my make-up
-a few good poetry books (I would have said my library of books,
but I had to give that up to move down here)
-friends who will pick up the phone in the middle of the
night
-hope
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Where the human race will be in the next 100 years.
On a typical Friday night I am
Out, either with the girls if I'm back home, or crammed into the
usual after work pub with the rest of the graduate scheme people.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Nothing yet
You should message me if
you like good, but surreal conversations, you can communicate
proficiently and have a grasp of the beauty of the english language
while forgiving me my lapses, and you look up.
