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.
