| Bio: | I was born blue with my umbilical cord wrapped around my throat and I wasn't breathing. Once they'd slapped me around a bit, I started to cry, which I did for about two years, alternating with sleeping. After two years, my allergy to cows' milk was discovered and I occasionally stopped crying and started to walk and talk, and it started to look like I might not be brain damaged after all. I went to a Montessori pre-school and apparently learnt Pythagoras and also started learning violin using the Suzuki method, just because my brother was. I then went to a Roman Catholic primary school where I learnt how to make daisy chains and teach my friends how to spell. I took the entrance exams a year early for the private school my brother was attending, but didn't get in, so I enjoyed another year at primary school before taking them again. I was offered a half scholarship, so it was almost feasible economically for me to attend, and I was given a choice between that and the local comprehensive, which I could walk to through the park and also got very good results. In the end, I decided that following in my brother's footsteps again was worth the hassle of the run to the bus station every morning, and I started school in a small town about 8 miles away, along with a friend from the Montessori school who I had kept in touch with. It turned out to be a very good choice, as occasionally it would snow there, and it never did in my home town, and making snowmen is fun. I was co-opted into the school orchestra by my brother, the current leader, straight away and ended up leading it for the last three years, which was really good fun. I had a split with the friend I started with, and many other quarrels along the way, but found some really good friends and a lot of laughs and fun memories to look back on. I discovered, much to everyone's surprise, especially myself and my family, that I was actually quite bright, and had an uncanny ability to pass the exams very well, so after getting the best GCSE's in my year, I applied to Cambridge. I picked a science course, as that seemed like a good idea, something fun to do while I partied, and managed somehow to get in. Leaving school was sad, but leaving my home county was worse. My dad had been weekly commuting to London for 15 years, and fancied living with my mum again now that the children had left home and he wouldn't be expected to do the parenting thing, so they moved to Cambridgeshire via Hertfordshire and were pretty close by when I started Cambridge University. I had an interesting first year, where I was ill for about three months towards the end so I didn't do *so* well in the exams. I flew round the world in the summer with a uni friend, which was totally awesome, even though we're not such good friends as a result! The second year was kind of better, though I think I might have been allergic to Cambridge with the amount that I got ill, and there were other fun little hurdles to overcome on the way. I found a wonderful boyfriend though, which helped enormously, and lots of fun friends , so I made it through my three years and got a 2.1 with a 1 in my dissertation, which I'm still bouncing about :-) My parents got fed up of the flatness of Cambridgeshire and the verminous kids skate-boarding around our house and moved to North Yorkshire to live with sheep and pheasants. They live in a small bungalow opposite a nature reserve and a field mowed by sheep, and their gardens are visited by the most amazing selection of bird life. They're re-doing the bungalow from the inside-out, and there are currently holes in the floor and internal walls, walls stripped of wallpaper, a gorgeous new fireplace, a soon-to-be gorgeous new bathroom, and LOTS of dust. I go up to visit them and my grandparents in Newcastle quite often, and have started dragging my boyfriend Up North too, which he likes to complain about but he's secretly becoming quite attached to travelling GNER First Class. I now live in London with my long-suffering boyfriend (at least I hope he'll be suffering me for a long time to come ;) and I work for Deloitte in Technology Assurance and Advisory, which I'm really enjoying so far. Living in London is fantastic fun, despite the high rents, noise pollution and dirty air that originally put me off, and long may it continue! | ||||
