facts about me.

• in my early 30s
  
• aries; year of the dragon
  
• live with my partner, D, in striking distance of Newcastle
  
• 2 sisters: S and N
  
• love love love nail varnish
• i got grade 7 viola and grade 8 music theory, back in the good old days.... music runs through my veins, even if i don't play anything any more
• ... but i still dream of being a rock star, sometimes
• i write, but i've been pretty scared that my dream of being published will go the same way as the rock star dream. so i'm making it happen.
  
• office worker
  
• i've completed the great north run (and in less than three hours!)
  
• ex Samaritan
  
• mostly broke
• slowly working towards an ou degree. very slowly.
  
• feminist
• love cooking and baking
  
• other addictions include scrubs, lost, val mcdermid, and especially nine inch nails (trent reznor is sex on a stick)
• am learning not to hoard
• tidiness still escapes me, though. it's just that one step too far.
  
• used to be addicted to email and the internet, but i recovered, mostly
  
• i speak german. used to speak french, italian, portugese, latin, and old english, to varying degrees of success. can't remember much of them any more
• sometimes i don't like capitals. sometimes i do. but i tend to be consistent within posts. so that sort of makes it ok.
• i have an unexplained love for semi colons. i can't explain it, but if i didn't fight the urge, i'd use them in nearly every paragraph.
  

i've been ashamed of a few things in my life, but if things hadn't gone the way they did, i wouldn't be where i am now. and i'm happy with where i am now - happier than i could ever say. there are things i want to change, but i'm working towards changing them.

i don't have internet access in work, so there will never be any updating or commenting from there. so this will be updated weekday evenings and weekends only (except of course when i'm on leave). just so ya know.
