I love U2! Other things in my music collection include Greenday, Lost Prophets, Omnia, Blackmore's Night. I like rock/metal as well as folk rock. Not too keen on classical or reggae but am pretty open to anything else.

I'm 27 and live in Aberystwyth in West Wales. I have just moved in with my boyfriend who I met last September on an online dating site (yes, they do work :-P) I work for the local university as a secretary whilst also studying for my Masters Degree in Fine Art. If u take a peek at my website blog you can see the animation that i am working on. It depicts the spiritual journey of the tree of life using imagery from the Tarot. My favourite artist is Patrick Hughes and my favourite photographers are Anton Corbijn and Walker Evans. When I'm not working or in uni I like to play computer games - particularly World of Warcraft. Getting lost in this world of magic and legend is my ideal get away. I've made some brilliant friends from all over the world. I have a 10 year old dog called Sam who is my best friend in the whole world. He was a rescue dog and one of the best things to come into my life. I also love guinea pigs (cavies) and am trying desperately to persuade my boyfriend to get one - despite the no pets rule on our flat.

I freely admit to being a dreamer and love anything magical. I am a Pagan and firmly believe that the way we treat each other and the environment around us is very important and that understanding and compassion can go a long way. I am a vegetarian and try my best to be eco-friendly in these modern times.

Hmmm what else.... I'm a bit of a goth and love everything black, although my fav colour is definately purple. My boyfriend tells me I'm a passionate person, my mother says 'fiery' while my dad just says I'm a moody cow :-p I like dancing with my dog and singing loudly while I'm driving. I could list sleeping as a hobby. I collect Disney beanie Tiggers and VW Beetle model cards.

In a perfect world I would be married to Bono (with Johnny Depp available for the odd date), I would live in Italy and run my own animal sanctury/photography studio. I would drive a purple VW Beetle and be 3 stone lighter.

If I live by any words they are these 'If you dream, then dream out loud', which comes Acrobat on the U2 Achtung Baby album. I believe if you have a dream then you should pursue it - don't give up on it just because others put you down!

Feel free to look me up on Facebook!

Sewing, cardmaking, and just generally making stuff with my hands. My MA work uses a lot of different techniques including photography, doll dressmaking, paper mache, model making etc. Am always researching new techniqes and trying different ideas.

Having had a look around the site I really like the idea of ATC's as well as the mini pincushins. I'm currently working sewing some shabby chic hearts for my kitchen.

I am grateful for anything anyone sends me although any of the following would be extra welcome:

1. Craft materials of ANY kind. I'm sorta new to crafting so need to build up supplies.
2. Books
3. Any gothic or wiccan items
4. Anything with Tigger, guinea pigs or VW beetles.
5. Jelly Beans
