I have a feeling lots of this has been covered in my introductory thread but here goes:

 

Birthday: 21st January '89

Age: 19

Starsign: Aquarius

 

Single/Married/Other? I have a boyfriend. He's Scottish.

Children? Goodness no. Not yet.

 

Where do you live? I live in Ilford, a place with an identity crisis. It's in East London but the address says Essex. However, currently for the majority of the year I live in Central Manchester, what with university being there. I also spend time in Edinburgh, where my boyfriend lives.

 

Do you work? I'm a student, and a lazy one at that. In the upcoming holidays I'll be working in an architecture firm.

 

Favourite author? This question is far too hard.

Favourite book(s)? Rebecca, His Dark Materials, Harry Potter, You Don't Know Me, Alice In Wonderland, The Phantom Tollbooth...etc. Quite a long list.

 

How did you get here? By avoiding work and Googling.

You are just down to road to where I work - Romford! And yes it does seem to have an identity crisis! :smile2:

Where do you live? Surrey.

Do you work? Not at the moment (for other people anyway), as I recently resigned from my job. However, I am an author of one book, and a fledgling freelance writer.

Favourite author? Difficult one, it would be more accurate and meaningful since I am a writer, to ask who I am most inspired by -among others and in no particular order - Graham Phillips, Michael J Straczynski, Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsh ...

Favourite book? That's a difficult one, if I was to chose the one that had changed my life the most though, I would have to say A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.

How did you get here? I honestly can't remember, but probably google
