About Me

I am an undergraduate student living and working in the heart of London. I live with my tuxedo cat, Figaro, and a scorpion, Iago.

On that note, I adore scorpions and all sorts of reptiles - especially snakes! My favourite thing in the world is tea - flavoured tea, plain tea, tea pots, tea cosies, anything to do with it! There is nothing like a good sit down and a cup of tea, in my opinion.

I work as a freelance photography and journalist, so writing and photography takes up a huge part of my life. I love fiction writing as well as non-fiction and essay writing, and on the odd occasion, I dabble into poetry.

I'm particularly interested in psychology, especially since I myself suffer from bipolar. I am also currently taking an NVQ in the evenings in astronomy and am self-teaching myself German.

I am a non-theist Wiccan, though I often refer to myself as an atheist.

Favorite Music

Elvis Costello, Buddy Holly, The Smiths/Morrissey, Apocalyptica, Bob Dylan, David Lanz, Johnny Cash, Joseph Arthur, Micheal Buble, Nick Cave, Oasis, Robert Palmer, Franz Ferdinand, The Stone Roses, U2, Coldplay, Maroon Five, The Decemberists, The Beatles, Jack Johnson, Newton Faulkner.

Favorite Books

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, The Reader by Bernard Schlink, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Gallery by Douglas Adams, Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult, Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, Moab is My Washpot by Stephen Fry.

I like romances, classics, fantasy, dark, gritty books - anything, really!

I'm also a big fan of comics; particularly X-Men, Batman and Spiderman.

Favorite Movies

Walk the Line, Brokeback Mountain, Atonement, A Beautiful Mind. I'm very much into films you can really get into, and romances, as you can probably tell. I'm a soppy romantic! I also like mysteries and crime, such as Zodiac.

Favorite Television

House, The Mentalist, Monk, Scrubs, Bones, 30 Rock, Pushing Daisies, Damages.

Comment: Sara, I have tried to contact you since you never marked "sent" on this swap, but no reply....It appears you haven't logged in since April 22... All you had to do was make copies of something and mail it!! NOT a difficult swap. I will change this rating if I ever receive anything....Very disappointing...

Well, I guess you enjoyed receiving all that great mail...you have no shame, and I feel bad for all your other partners, too, especially the ones who went out and bought something nice, and never got anything in return (like the souvenir thimble swap partners)...I hope karma bites you right in your big butt.

WHY is this person "PARTIALLY SUSPENDED", AND NOT TOTALLY SUSPENDED!!! She has not honored even one swap!! She has flaked every single one of us!! I don't understand why she is only "partially suspended".....I would ban her totally with this track record...

Hi, there.. I am your partner for the "favorite short stories" swap, and I noticed you haven't marked yours "sent" yet (maybe you forgot to click on "sent"??), and you haven't been online in over a week..I am hoping you will get this message, as I am really looking forward to getting some great short stories from you! It sounds as if you have great taste in reading (you like lots of great books!!) Looking forward to hearing from you soon!! --Sandi--

Thanks for your interest in Vampire Fanatics. I will leave your application until you have received some ratings. Hope you will stick around until then! Would love to have you:)
