About her

It seems a little silly to expect to share something as complex as a person's story in one little box, but oh well. We'll stick to the basics: I'm a final year PhD in physics at University, I fence and play cricket for the university, and I expect I'm a rather eclectic and straightforward kind of person. The sad part is that some stereotypes are true (most physicists I know really are quite socially inept), so the 'think about how you'd start a conversation' tip really doesn't help here...

I have a very childish tastes in a way - I tend to like animated films (LOVE Studio Ghibli and Pixar!), manga (Sailor Moon, Bleach, Saint Tail, anything by CLAMP), children's books (Diana Wynne Jones is one of my all-time favourite authors, along with Susan Cooper, JK Rowling, Llyod Alexander, and Neil Gaiman), and just silly, little-kid kind of fun. But I'm also partial to dark humor and sarcasm, as well as more sophisticated genres - Jane Austen, Victor Hugo, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to name a few - and crime fiction (some times). Music-wise, my tastes are generally too eclectic to really try to explain, but a lot of what I like best is non-mainstream (The Aquabats!, and Scott & Brendo are two of my favourites).
