I guess I’m fairly laid back about most things but I do get pretty worked up about some things. I’m a realist mostly; I’m not a catastrophiser but I’m not an optimist either.

I like dancing, music, movies an intelligent conversation over a cup of tea or coco and a good laugh. I rather like getting lost in big cities; it helps me remember that there is always adventure to be had. I want to start a self powered, wheeled ambulation gang more than almost anything ever, I also want to become independently wealthy and move to a small European town where I can live near a city but not in it and I can drink tea and watch BBC and just be. I'm fostering what might be a rather an unhealthy vendetta against telephones. On a good day I might admit to being addicted to Earl Grey and on a fantastic day I’d probably admit to being a hot coco addict too.

I love to learn, languages specifically (I'm currently learning Arabic, Russian and French) but I’m also fascinated by history, and culture which leads me to almost constant feelings of wanderlust. I've done a fair bit of traveling but I still aspire to see the whole world. I live by the idea that 'only barbarians are not curious about where they come from' so as a result my ultimate goal in life is to and to know everything and have 'seen it all' (or at least be jaded enough to think that I have). I’m a bit of a conspiracy theorist at heart though not too much I hope. XD I'm pretty good at obsessing over meaningless crap like witty television shows and bands that I like. Mostly I'm a huge fangirl.
