| Occupation | PhD Researcher |
| Location | Manchester, United Kingdom |
| Introduction | PhD researcher investigating motivation for learning English. Windswept heterochrome with sunny disposition and melancholy stripes. Enraged optimist. Triangulated by a Ginger Prince, a Brzhinski and a hirsute Welsh lover. Occasionally make with throaty singing; regularly wear two or more colours at the same time. Weep lavishly at a range of important world issues, from Old Mother Hubbard's hungry dog (aged 3) to Mensheds Australia (aged 29); but laugh long, loud and often. |
| Interests | Words, punctuation, colours, sounds, swimming, smells, books, vegetables, hair, beaches, Radio 4, maps, eyeshadow, aerobics, beer, Lush, travelling, green things, geography, polyphony. Working, studying, teaching, learning. Relationships. Sociology. Astrology. People - stuff they do and say. |
| Favorite movies | Depends on when I'm asked, but Con Air usually features in the list. Not good at listing favourites... |
| Favorite music | Patti Smith, Jethro Tull, Nick Cave, Sisters of Mercy, Delicate Hammers, Cate le Bon, Dr Who theme tune. Bombast, and repetitive songs with intense and sexy crescendos. Noises, like the thrumming soundtrack to Terminator. Bad 90s dance tunes. |
| Favorite books | I remember authors rather than books: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Muriel Spark, Raymond Chandler, Gloria Anzaldua, Julia Alvarez, Ana Castillo. Foreign crime such as Boris Akunin, Arturo Perez-Reverte and Andrea Camilleri. |
