Loquacious

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.

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

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

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.

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