    About me:<br />
    <br />
    I live in the city with my boyfriend Richard in our apartment. I like food and lots of it and I thoroughly enjoy living 30 seconds away from both Luigi Malone's and La Piccola. It's a double-edged sword really. I try to curl up with a good book and hate myself slightly for choosing a post-modern crime novel over the classics. Or a flamboyant fantasy novel. Credible, well written and perhaps nominated for some prodigious award fantasy novel that is. I'm soon to be, if all goes well, a poor English student again. <br />
