User Profile

- Born & bred in a rough area of East Manchester, UK. I used to live on the street where East is East was filmed. Red brick terraces with cobbled alleyways, washing lines in tiny concrete back yards.

- I was bullied & ignored pretty much from the start of primary school until the end of secondary school.

- I was a hardcore Christian from the age of 14 through to 18. Though I don't believe in a Christian God any more, I'm still a spiritual person - in love with nature & obsessed with squeezing the most out of life. The voluntary youth work I did there inspired me to work with young people.

- I worked in an office environment for three years. The money was just not worth the soul destroying monotony ~ so when I had a chance to escape and go back to college - I grabbed hold of it with both hands.

- I don't think Art should be pretentious. I think it should be about deep thinking, getting messy and having fun. This is one of the main reasons I would like to be an Art Teacher.

- I have been with my boyfriend on and off for six years. I appreciate him more than ever, we share almost exactly the same interests, and he's like my best friend in a hot boy shape. We are the proud owners of a wonderful tuxedo cat with magician wand paws called Mr. Killer Fang.

- I will pretty much be friends with everyone, though I do have a few close friends who I tell everything to, and who I know will be around forever. I love our amazing adventures on rope swings, following a trail of cakes to our untimely death, dancing like ghosts to Kate Bush's ~ Wuthering Heights, wet & windy sand dune climbs, ecstatic giggles and in jokes, being escorted over high bridges because I'm afraid I'll jump.
