Bio

Self ♦	Interests ♣	Music ♥	Literature ♠	Film & Anime ★
London born and bred, though currently moving between Cardiff and London due to university. Student at Cardiff University, reading an honours in English Literature (yay for books!), as well as minors in Medieval & Renaissance Literature and Religious Studies. Background is pretty much one, big Celtic melting pot of genetics – half Emerald Islander/half English – which shows in the auburn hair, the pasty skin, big gob and tendency to exaggerate :) Aiming for any job in which I can just plain write or act academic once I’m past uni, so I fancy myself a bit of a pseudo-intellectual. Also a bit of a sociologist, a pantheist, a feminist, a geek and a dreamer, with a slight dash of socialism, perfectionism, philosophical-ism and downright craziness.	Hopping around London town with friends: sipping mint tea in quirky nooks along Brick Lane, exploring Spitalfields and Camden Markets for vintage-style fashions, drinking cocktails in trendy Shoreditch bars, people-watching in Covent Garden. Also enjoy hiking up mountains in the Lake District, listening to trip-hop music, hugging trees, procrastinating over manga and anime and doramas, lurking among the stacks in the university library, laughing hysterically over nonsensical things, sleeping for ridiculous amounts of time, hoarding manga and anime like a geek.	Genres: trip-hop, blues, jazz, world, electronic, new age, punk, gothic. Tori Amos remains my favourite artist :) Enjoy music by: A Perfect Circle, Jeff Buckley, Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey, Poe, Bjork, The Cure, Blondie, Bush, Portishead, Moloko, Roisin Murphy, Garbage, Jack Off Jill, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Goldfrapp, Linkin Park, Loreena McKennitt, David Bowie, Muse, Smashing Pumpkins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yoko Kanno, Lamb, Fauxliage, Hooverphonic, Ani DiFranco, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Skunk Anansie, Pearl Jam, Porcupine Tree, Umbrellas, Trapt, UVERworld, High and Mighty Colour, Nami Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Hikaru Utada, Santessa, Nightwish (Tarja era), The Smiths, Rasputina, Hannah Fury, Sneaker Pimps, Kidney Thieves, Red, Three Days Grace.
