| Introduction | My clothes always match (this is only true about my work clothes!), I love my students, I drink de-caf, I prefer right-back but always seem to find myself playing somewhere in the midfield, I'm in two book clubs, I'm good at doing lots of things at once, the end of the World Cup means I can finally catch up on sleep, I belive in long sentences with lots of commas, I get obsessively curious about the potential of technology, I need to apply the phrase "there but by the grace of God go I" to more situations, I have so much time for Joss Whedon's entire body of work, I think that blogs are self-indulgent and perhaps a little egotistical but it also seems that I think that I should unquestioningly imitate my peers, I have the world's greatest and most side-burned husband, I can't draw, I think Paul Coelo novels are vastly overrated, I might stop. |
