I really don't know what to tell you. Every time I write these I have to come back and change it because I've gone off on another wild tangent. Like, honestly, I started out as an aspiring doctor, then a teacher, then I worked in a shop for a few years, then I went to university to study live events production and thought, 'yeah, surely this is it now' and then BAM I finished my degree and started a new one doing creative writing and English literature, because I'm a masochist and doing one degree at a time would be too easy.
So, me, now. Well.
I am a touring and in-house lighting engineer who makes stages look pretty whilst bands do their thing. I infinitely prefer touring, and I tour with Mostly Autumn, who are excellent, and feel like my home, and whose personnel include but are not limited to my dad and several former babysitters of mine. It's brilliant to do shows and get nicely toasted with people who used to have to help me go to the toilet and carry me to bed. Now if it happens something has gone drastically wrong. (Kidding, I'm the responsible one.)
I love to travel, usually to Norway, but I've scaled it back since starting university again. I'm a cunning linguist and I read books like people breathe air. I'm supposed to be writing something but mostly I plot stories on Pinterest and don't get a hell of a lot done outside of my head.
My hair is a bewildering shade of pink, and it has been very useful on a number of occasions, mostly when people need to find me in a crowd, but mostly it means that lecturers remember my name, and call on me for answers regardless of whether or not I've done the reading.
I live on York, England, which is a beautiful city but since Wagamama started delivering I haven't had much reason to leave the house, ever.
So that is what I'm about at the time of writing (2am on February 4th 2016), and hopefully I won't have an identity crisis for the next few years.
