A little about me
In my life away from here I am not a complicated soul. I am 30 years old and live in what I consider to be one of the best cities certainly in this country, Liverpool. I have lived here for nearly 10 years now and every day I find something new to intrigue and delight me.
Liverpool is a city which is famous all over the world. It has an instantly recognisable waterfront, a unique accent, and famous sons and daughters. Based in the heart of North-West England, Liverpool is also the most famous place in Britain to go for a day trip, according to the National Tourist Board. The waterfront area attracts millions of visitors each year. They come to see the rejuvenated Albert Dock, home to the Tate Gallery and Maritime Museum; and to take a trip on the famous Mersey Ferry. The city centre is packed with magnificent buildings and splendid architecture including St George's Hall; Liverpool Museum; Walker Art Gallery; and its two cathedrals - the Anglican Cathedral and Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. A range of theatres offer first class productions to rival London's West End. And many tourists just come to Liverpool for its exciting nightlife. The city is alive with musicians, poets, writers, artists, painters, sculptors, designers and architects. Together, these all help to boost our image as a European City of Culture. Liverpool is also a serious sporting city. Liverpool and Everton football clubs are known all over the world. The world's most famous horse race, the Grand National is held nearby at Aintree Racecourse.
Incidentally seeing as I’ve just mentioned it, I’m a Red. If you’re not a fan of football (that’s soccer not American Football) that will probably mean nothing to you, but those who know will understand.
I’ve recently changed jobs, so I am now a technical specialist for a software application for the local council. No more commuting and more of a life, it’ll do me. I have always wanted to be a singer in a rock band but have always been too scared to do anything about it. So I plod along hoping that one day I will be able to fulfil my dreams. I have recently started the second year of a degree course with the Open University, which I am finding a challenge that I hope I can rise to. I am fairly musical, I can pretty much listen to a song and get a melody out on the piano, as well as playing classical flute and my first love, singing.
Oh yes, I have a house all of my own. I bought it almost 3 years ago and I am still so proud of myself for being able to do it. It needs a bit of TLC but one of my favourite things is to close my door at night and shut the world away. I am a solitary soul, preferring to wander alone in the world than seek to company of others to validate my life. Having said that of course I am happy for the relationships I have with everyone I consider important in my life and I wouldn’t change a single one of them.
Hmmm what else…well I suppose a physical description might be in order. I am 5’ 7’’ tall and incredibly curvy (although slightly for the wrong reasons at the moment). I have grey/green eyes and highlighted brown hair. Yes my hair is dyed and no I have no idea what colour it is naturally. I have been dyeing it for the best part of 15 years and couldn’t tell you what it used to look like. I have 10 tattoos including Pisces in Arabic, Elegance in Japanese, Angel in Chinese, a heart, a swallow and 2 more tribal patterns as well as my latest dragon on my left wrist. I have 6 piercings, in my belly button and in my ears (5 in 1 and 1 in the other). I used to have my nose pierced but realised that I couldn’t keep it and get a ‘proper job’. I have always wanted to get my tongue pierced but promised my Mum that I wouldn’t and feel obliged to keep a promise to her.
I only have 1 real philosophy on life and that is never to regret anything you have done. If you live your life with regrets then you are only half alive.
