Introduction I am Sarah, which means Princess. I am far from a Princess. Rather a master of spontaneity who strives to find flamboyancy in simple things. Breezy days and tanned feet make me smile. Things which make me happy are camp fire ghost stories, sticking stickers, doodling, open minds and the world at large. I have just got my first tattoo. It's the first music notes to a line to a PJ Harvey song that says "If that's all there is, my friend, then lets keep dancin’". I spend a lot of time thinking of old friends and good times. I spend more time thinking about how many places I want to explore though. Humbleness, getting out of my comfort zone and learning from others is of utmost importance to me. My favourite line is "With brains in your head, and feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any direction you choose" (Dr. Seuss). I love watching people engage in things they are passionate about, it reminds me why we all have different talents and why we should embrace and celebrate them. I write for a living. I need to be challenged. I am ADD. I talk really loudly and eat loads of popcorn and spill loads of coffee. I also say thank you, please and try smile and laugh a lot.
Interests I love eating cold red apples and banana chips in plain yogurt. Finding finds for foundmagazine.com, creating and browsing Deviants for deviantart.com, indulging in books, drinking strong coffee and crisp winter mornings. Playing fuzeball with my best friends and drinking wine with my flatmate. Running in the mornings along the promenade overlooking the Atlantic ocean as the sun rises. Dancing to drum and base and crazy electronic beats. Flirting with cute boys. Reading, reading, reading. Writing, writing, writing. Indie films. Political photojournalism.
