Introductory Me


How difficult is it to express your personality in black and white?! There are all those important grey areas and colourful bits, so, I'm going to skip the outline and do some colouring in... here goes...

My 'I' list
- I am a complete perfectionist.
- I grew up in a relatively 'posh' area
- I am NOT photogenic...at all!
- I despise prejudice in any form.
- I am an atheist.
- I like films that make me think, feel, or scare the sh*t out of me.
- I like to think I'm intelligent, however, I do lack common sense at times.
- I rarely get embarrassed.
- I can laugh at myself.
- I always leave things until the last minute.
- I read as I walk (it really is quite a skill).
- I just cannot save money and spend it as soon as I have it.
- The worst insult that I could receive  is to be told that I am 'average' (luckily this never happens)
- I am very egocentric
- I love words
- I have a very curious mind and ask so many questions that it drives people to distraction.
- I love comedy, anything from puerile humour such as 'The Inbetweeners' to abstract weirdness like 'The Mighty Boosh'.
- I believe in Socialism (from the little that I know)
- When I run out of intelligent questions I can find myself asking questions such as "would you rather have a bushy tail like a fox or floppy ears like a rabbit?"
- I will ask someone for their opinion and then argue my own point.
- Apparently I make the simplest of tasks look complicated.
- I love sleeping in and afternoon naps.
- Before my very 'mathy' degree I didn't even know my times table.
- I was expelled from school and left with just one qualification.
