Education and Work:

I'm interested in

Reading, writing, education, politics, music, art, history, current events, friends, cartoons, tv, video games, films. I also enjoy messing around with my graphics tablet making sucky art on photoshop, hot single men, melodious music to tantalise the soul and entice the senses, & reading books that inspire and make one aware of the inherrant beauty of life (or that make you laugh your ass off - either way).

  • Anything in my vast collection that I haven't got around to reading yet or those that I am still waiting to be published (The Wind Through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel by Stephen King springs readily to mind at this point)... nuff said.

  • “To get the sack, it would have to be rape on a grand scale. And not just with students, either. That would only amount to a slight misdemeanour. No, for dismissal it would have to be nothing less than buggering the Bursar.”

    “Sanity is a madness put to good use.”

    “If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”

  • Vegetable lasagne with chips and salad, chicken salad sandwich on wholemeal bread (no mayo!), vegeburger. Oddly enough for a woman I am not keen on chocolate but I do love toffee, fudge and mints... even better is a combination of two out of those three in some form i.e. mint humbugs.

  • Rome, Moscow, Maui, San Fransisco, Newcastle, London, Ireland, Norway, New Zealand, Venice, Cairo, Yorkshire.

  • Countries I've never been to yet hehe.
