Location Cambridge, United Kingdom
Introduction I'm a "something in chemistry" in the Silicon Fen, a dabbling writer, photographer and bassist in a band. I'm left-wing, feminist, queer, vegan, atheist, in love and somewhat surrealist, aided in my quixotic quests by my loyal snail Sparky. I seem to have got out of Cambridge University only to find myself living in a Pod with computer scientists and communal brown rice and lentils.

The love potion you made tastes terrible. How will you drink it?

As a dare after maybe a little too much cider. The alcohol helps to suspend disbelief, too.
