MusicWhile I personally play several instruments and I sing, I prefer listening to music than performing (too shy). I listen to almost anything, and I sing along to even more. I often embarrass myself when I sing along, but if I'm enjoying myself, why not?
Like most people I tend to sing around the house, though I know that the neighbours can often hear me. There's no harm in just relaxing and singing your heart out though, so I don't see the point in being quiet all of the time; even if most people I know think I am always extremely quiet. I'm starting an a capella choir hopefully with some friends after Easter, just as soon as we can find a day, time and place to practice. I've gone a bit mad for musicals again lately, especially ones such as Legally Blonde: The Musical, Burlesque and Moulin Rouge. They are a couple of great films and certainly have some good musical numbers in them. |
Random FactsAs you may have guessed from everything I have posted and said before, I love reading and writing, but I wonder how many people know these things about me.
1. I am a total chocoholic 2. The best foods in the world for me, other than chocolate, are custard, ice cream, Cadbury's creme eggs, and rich gooey homemade fruit loaf, though obviously not all together. 3. When I write, I create the characters and worlds in my mind, and they become almost real to me. 4. A few years ago I met Julie Hearn, and she inspired me to pursue my dreams and write. I still love "The Merrybegot" (I have a signed copy). 5. I speak German and Italian and I want to learn Russian, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, French, Spanish, Welsh and Czech. I know that is a lot of languages but they are all fantastic. 6. I was studying English and Creative Writing at Aberystwyth University, and absolutely loved it. I still want to do more. 7. I have a weakness for swing dresses, corsets and (who doesn't?!) 8. I have far too many books, collectibles and dvds. 9. My favourite games are Smite, Overwatch and Pokemon. I have several consoles and my gaming PC. 10. I'm a total loner and often feel out of place in groups of people. I would often much rather just sit alone and do something solo, but I'm known as a social butterfly as I just seem to meet loads of people and be on good terms with most people. 11. Though raised in England, I lived in Wales for six years in Wales, because of my degree, though I'd choose to live here anyway, or in Germany or Italy. 12. My goals are to keep creating stuff and learn as much as I can, but I want to explore the world too and learn about as many other cultures and places as possible. |
BooksI read a lot of books, always have done. I am a complete nerd and bookworm. I will read pretty much anything and that is generally reflected in the range of things I write.
The majority of my books could fit into the genres of paranormal romance and gothic horror, with a bit of everything else thrown into the mix somewhere. I'd love to start a bookshop or library when I have enough money, though from the general state of my reading range, I think it is more likely to be an occult bookshop, but that is just cool. At last count, I had managed to amass around 3000 books; this being in a period of a couple of years, as well as over 1500 on my kindle. I love reading and will give anything a go at least once. |
The RestThere are so many more things about me that hardly anyone notices, or even cares to look for. The majority of the time I feel as if I am two people trying to fight for dominance, or just simply trying to hide away from the world . I guess that's just a part of who I am though, and I doubt I will change; I haven't yet.
This site, "My World" really is my escape. It is my way of expressing myself; it is a hidden outlet, if you will. Here's to saying what you feel, and expressing selves scorned and down-trodden, and as corny a line as it is, don't judge a book by its cover. |
