A Little About Me
Name: Kate
Age: 28
Location: Birmingham
Occupation: Full-time Mum
Short Personal Description: Pfft. I can't describe myself out of the blue like that! I suppose I'd be defined as friendly, confusing, with a weird sense of humour, strong-minded and determined, a little shy in some situations and overly confident in others, passionate, caring, loving...erm, yep, I'm spent.
Favorites:
Hobbies: Roller Derby, reading, writing fiction, and also trying every blasted thing I see that looks interesting (much to the despair of my partner, who never knows what I'm up to from one day to the next)
Color: Green
Food: For comfort, anything stodgy (deep dish dominoes pizza mmm), but also antipasti type majiggeries. Nom.
Hang-out: Quiet old pubs. I'm an old man and I should probably drink bitter.
Music: Quite eclectic, but the majority of (older) rock, especially from the 90s
Books: Very eclectic, mostly victorian gothic fiction, but also Terry Pratchett, Robert Rankin, Kathy Reichs, Dan Brown, Dickens, Bronte, and all kinds of others. One wall of my front room is shelving literally covered floor to ceiling with books and films.
Movies: Hitchcock's Psycho, any awful b-movie style horror, The Hours (and Father of the Bride, but that's a guilty pleasure and should be a secret)
TV Shows: Spaced, Scrubs, Any of the River Cottage Series, Black Books, Inbetweeners, True Blood (yes, I know it's awful...)
Authors: Bram Stoker, Charlotte Dacre, Sheridan Le Fanu...and Robert Rankin. Robert Rankin to the extent that I have a quote from my favourite book in his handwriting tattooed around my left wrist (written for me especially, bless him).
Cartoon Character: All of a sudden I can't think of any cartoon characters. None at all.
Digging Deeper:
Country You Wish To Visit The Most: Canada
Most Influential Person in Your Life: A younger version of myself. I've had an almost comically mental life so far and I've learned a lot from my own experiences.
Greatest Ambition: Cheesy one - just for my family and myself to be happy. Realistic one - I want qualify as an English teacher for 11-18 year olds, then to do my doctorate and lecture in literature at a university.
Biggest Achievement: My two midget clones/finally getting my degree at the age of 26 against all odds!
Grandest Wish: I don't wish for much and really can't answer this!
What You Can't Live Without: My children and my fiance, cuddles, books and music.
