“A Minor Celebrity in My Own Life’s Story”

No doubt this will be on of those hilarious things I look back on when I’m 10 years into the future, but for now, in the present, this seems like it could be as good as any other place to make a start:

I am twenty nine years old, living in North West Florida, just north of Tallahassee, single, and  content with the life I have, maybe not so with in the life i lead.

Originally I’m from the United Kingdom, Leeds, specifically, and I emigrated here to the United States for a number of reasons, being a citizen, therefore not needing a green card being one of them!

My true family consists of: Me, and my Dad. Although i think I do have many cousins in the UK due to my late grandmothers side of things. However, I am proud to have a big family base that isn’t connected by the mixing of bodily fluids, i.e all of my friends.

I hold a University degree ( 2:1 BSc Creative Sound and Music Technology), which although I haven’t implemented as well as I could have (after gaining it), is still one of my finest personal achievements.

Speaking of which; I have been part of a band that was extremely fortunate to become more than a sum of it’s parts and gotten a lot further ahead than it had a right to. A lot of life experience was gained through this band doing well, and a look forward to the day when i can hopefully return to the life of having music as my functioning way of living.  My first instrument is: the drum kit. Although I can play keyboard/synth, bass, and guitar (not greatly).

Soccer/Football/Footie is also a major part of my life, and has been since I was about 5 years old. Though I was never blessed with the skills and abilities of my peers, I still believe I have picked up other useful attributes that can be transferable to a team set up. In fact, at present I am captain of my co-ed eleven a side, and have just been promoted to my first role as head coach of Florida State University’s Woman’s Club Soccer side. So hopefully somewhere in the football world I am of some use. I support Leeds United A.F.C, and maybe on that day when I look back on this first post, laughing, maybe, just maybe, we will have risen again.

I have no pets, though I do like both; cats and dogs.

And although I have no tattoos or piercings I do quiet appreciate the alternative independent aspects of the cultural world, with my musical/band/artist taste:

Politically, I’m left leaning, and would like a system that can support, sustain, and hold up standards for the workers, kind of what Labour is supposed to stand for. So i guess I’m more left of Labour now, but certainly more right than the socialist view.

Food wise; Im pretty much the opposite of a veggie! I like Indian, Mexican, BBQ, Italian, Chinese cuisines the most.

All of the things above that I have introduced I will most likely be using this blog to go into further detail on, but for now just an introduction to myself.
