Bio

I have a paid account pretty much just because I wanted more userpic space. But I don't always have a default one set, so I shall direct you to find them here. They tend to reflect my obsessions.

I usually use MSN and Google Talk accounts for IMing purposes, but I have semi-abandoned accounts for other services. Yell at me if you want to chat and I can give you my details.

So, about me? I started a BA in English at Trinity College, Cambridge but dropped out, and haven't really committed to any particular path since. So for now I'm just hanging out. Why not comment and say hi to provide some amusement, eh? Or you could add me. I like to read random journals.

Apart from all that, I like to obsess somewhat arbitrarily over things (The Cooper Temple Clause! The Libs and post-Libs bands! Music in general!); usually just enough to worry my family. I don't watch much TV (Doctor Who! Never Mind The Buzzcocks! The Mighty Boosh!), which may or may not be due to not owning one. I love music and films. I somehow ended up as an indie kid without really meaning for it to happen. I spend a fair amount of time online, but less than I used to. Real life is more fun and more convenient for getting myself into interesting trouble.

According to my friend

bustahead, my strengths include hugging, making people laugh and eating with chopsticks. According to

featherfinyipp and

doteatop, I am like Jane Eyre. I'm not quite sure how to interpret that. Make of it what you will.
