1. I once saw Derren Brown on Bakers Street. I stared at him like a deranged stalker. Our eyes locked, and we shared a moment only a restraining order could break.
2. I'm fast, like a gazelle.
3. INTP
4. I prefer the American version of The Office over the British. It may not sound like much, but for some people here it's the equivalent of bitchslapping the Queen or something. Damned Redcoats.

I've recently completed an MA in medieval history which has given me the ability to viciously assault people with history based facts. To add to this coolness I also volunteer at a museum until someone deems it fit to pay me for my troubles.

Running unnecessary distances.

People watching.

I like to pretend I'm better than everyone else by frequenting the theatre.

I hold a deep passion for history; the grand story of man from the inception of the universe to our pursuit of the idealised society. I value critical thinking and the desire for self improvement: History, politics, philosophy, science, economics. I'm hiding in academia and not coming out.

Watching Fox News for the sillies. But overexposure can often lead to a sense of hopelessness, and so I need to eat cupcakes to restore the balance. Most of life's problems can be solved with the strategic use of cupcakes.

Bitches be loco.

My hair, no doubt. If I was a woman and prettier I could totally be in one of those shampoo ads.

People have a habit of asking whether I'm Spanish...or Italian...or elvish, someone even asked me if I was Polish once. I don't understand, but I'm happy to go along with any nationality you choose to impose on me.

Books: When your degree requires you to work through a couple of books each week, reading isn't something that you do that much in the time you have off. I do love books, though, and the last three I bought for my own pleasure are The Master and Margarita By Mikhail Bulgakov, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and Montaillou by Emmanuel La Roy Ladurie. I'm also working my way through everything Hemmingway has ever written ever.

New Scientist, The Economist and XKCD.

Movies: Into the Wild, Rubber, Magnolia, Sunshine, Cashback, Moon, The Fountain, Memento, One Hour Photo, Pulp Fiction, Oldboy, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Lotr, Fear and Loathing. Director wise, nothing beats the Coen brothers.

I've made an effort to see all the Twilght movies at the cinema, because that much hilarity doesn't deserve to wait.

Shows: Mostly comedy. Think Peep Show, The Mighty Boosh, Family Guy, Brasseye, Darkplace, IT Crowd, Flight of the Conchords. I grew up on Star Trek and have a soft spot for House.

Sherlock is pretty much the best thing ever.

Music: I broadly listen to Rock and Classical. Some of the music I'm obsessing over at the moment includes, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Russian Circles and Portishead.

Rammstein are the best bad I've ever seen live. Ever.

Earl Grey.
Chicken. I do love chicken.
Planes. They make me happy.
Mountains and waterfalls. I was brought up in Wales.
The internets. Source of all my procrastination. If it breaks I will cry.
Cats.

Whether Mr Rochester is better than Mr Darcy.
Cats.
Magnets.
Cat-magnets.

If I'm not busy with seminar work/essays I can sometimes be found at one of the local rock clubs. If not that then I might be indoors doing something cool like watching movies with wizards in them.

Pretty much what your average person does, only with added guitar and wizard.

I've seen Mean Girls more than once. I have no regrets.

You're Zooey Deschanel?

You can provide baked goods.

Language is important to me, and it should be important to you.

Anything is possible with the correct use of grammar.

(You're excused if it's not your first language, because I'm merciful like that).
