| Description: |
I'm a third year at Cardiff University studying Journalism, Film & Media.
I openly admit to being a geek; I help run a fansite which has afforded me some awesome experiences in the world of journalism & I help run a society in the University comprised of the nerdiest but most fantastic people anyone could ever hope to meet.
I love all aspects of the media, even if I disagree with a lot of what gets said. I'm the kind of person that doesn't easily get bored and is content with entertaining themselves. I like people who are passionate, intellectual, witty and creative.
More than anything I love spending time with my friends & family. I love to talk, although I am ditzy and forgetful more often than not.

| About me |
|
| Where I live |
I love living in a city. I like being near places to go, especially as I don't drive. Cardiff is diverse with loads of things to do and see, which is probably why I very rarely get bored. |
|
| Where are you originally from? |
|
|
| Do you want to stay there? |
I'd like to travel about a bit, particularly to the States and around Europe, but Cardiff will always be home, the place where I want to create a permanent base. |
|
| What is your occupation? |
|
|
| What have you done so far? |
Mostly dogs-body stuff; waitressing, filing, archiving and babysitting. |
|
| What are your future plans? |
I don't really have any, which isn't very good. Vaguely, I want to get a job after I graduate, any job, just to ensure I can afford to live independently. After that, I'd like to focus on getting into the media, specifically television. |
|
| Your perfect partner |
I don't think there is such a thing. Pretending so just puts too much pressure on yourself and the other potential persons. But if I had to choose I'd like someone who; believed in the same things I do, had a sense of humour, could enjoy or at least put up with my geeky hobbies, could get passionate about causes & politics and be happy staying in cwtching in front of the tv rather than going out all the time. |
|
| Stuff I like |
|
| What are you interests/hobbies? |
As a media studies student, I'm obviously interested in television/films/radio/journalism etc... I love going to the cinema, geeking out with friends, writing, going for food, having both intelligent & mindless conversations, swearing, dancing to cheesey music and spending time with the people I care most about. |
|
| Music |
Anything and everything. I've been to see the Sugababes, All Saints, Westlife, Franz Ferdinand, Green Day, Sandi Thom & I went to Live 8 in London. |
|
| Your fav tv series |
Doctor Who first and foremost. Followed by Torchwood, Waterloo Road, Friends, Skins, Moonlight, Pushing Daisies, Heroes, Sugar Rush, EastEnders, Wife Swap, Gossip Girls, Dawson's Creek, Teachers...I'm a television junkie. |
|
| Your fav books/authors |
Top of the list has to be Harry Potter. Beyond that, I'm also into Philip Pullman, Garth Nix, Trudi Canavan, Laurell K Hamilton, Tolkien...you get the picture :p |
|
| What sort of movies do you like? |
I don't really have a preference when it comes to genre. Just something that isn't stupid. For example; I recently saw Jumper, which was shit. On the other hand, I've also recently seen Juno & Definitely, Maybe, both of which I loved. |
|
| Types of people you like? |
Those who are open-minded, aren't opposed to liberal amounts of swearing or laughing, people with something to say and geeks. |
|
| What kind of people do you find attractive? |
People who are intelligent, passionate, kind, warm-hearted, will challenge me and love me no matter what. |
|
| Food |
My absolute favourite is Chinese. I tend to eat in pubs when I'm out, with chicken being my preferred food. I like to eat healthily, but not to an obsessive extent. In other words, I behave myself in the week and let go a little on Saturday & Sunday. I love cooking, just not when I'm already hungry XD |
|
| Drinks |
I never used to be big on alcohol, then I joined Uni and spent loads of money and time getting wasted. Now I'm starting to realise that it just isn't worth it 99% of the time. I do however love a Black Russian. |
|
| Holidays |
I like holidays where you don't spend the entire time on some beach slowly baking yourself. I like to explore and learn. So far I've been to Spain, France and Florida. I want to go to New York, Los Angeles and Venice. I am however quite a homebird. |
|
| Pets |
I don't have any pets but I do like zebras and killer whales. I'm not too keen on dogs. |
|
| Fav thing |
I try not to covet stuff, but probably my laptop. Followed by my hair straighteners and my mobile phone. Without which I couldn't possibly survive. |
|
| Fav Place |
My bed. |
|
| What's your favourite radio station ? |
Red Dragon FM, Radio 1, Kiss FM and Real Radio. |
|
| What's your favourite tv station ? |
BBC1 |
|
| What's your favourite drink? |
Orange Juice, Pepsi, Diet Coke and tea. |
|
| What's your favourite food? |
A roast dinner, with all the trimmings. |
|
| What are your favourite activities? |
I enjoy socialising with friends, pissing about on the internet, blogging, watching television, going to the pub/cafe/cinema, walking, shopping and visiting my family. |
|
| My attitude |
|
| Family life |
I don't think there is such a thing as a traditional family anymore. I do want children, eventually. I'm not sure I'd want to give up working, though. I'm not sure whether I'm suited to marriage because although I've enjoyed long-term relationships, I see the benefit in moving on to new pastures. |
|
| Jobs&Working |
I don't currently have one but I hope I'll be living to work and not working to live. That's what my parents had to do and something they've always wanted me to avoid. |
|
| Money |
I prefer being skint with lots of mates. Money, although useful, cannot make you happy alone. |
|
| Politics |
I'm very interested in politics and am a fierce supporter of the Liberal Democrats. |
