| Introduction | Apart from walking talking and acting silly I like reading viewpoints on art culture, philosophy, psychology, the nature of the self. See myself as Buddhist but willing to learn about even embrace other beliefs, philosophies. I like the first person focus (it is ok to say I) I also recognise the outer world of others, politics etc. Had varied and off the track history of education and work so will just make a list. History, Multimedia Graphics. Counselling (Student Counsellor), Steward cinema, Student Mentoring, Arts Centre worker, press write ups, marketing. At the moment I am learning to write in order to learn. That is I am fascinated more by what I can learn by writing rather than becoming a writer. |
