In the words of Paramore; "for a pessimist, I'm pretty optimistic"…. I don’t follow recipes but I like to dabble…. I like cats and long hot baths but not at the same time, fluent in English which is important cause; I cannot talk to my cats in their language, but I can moan on about it sat on my wizard cat bedding in my cat pyjamas (no I'm not weird, you’ve got the problem, not me). All joking aside I am a masters graduate in psychology (no I can’t read your min…., oh wait did I just? Oh never mind), so I am big into psychological, story-based and horror video games (mainly the real-life choice type... oh chaos theory you beautiful thing). I also spend my weekends vigorously ripping my hair out over the football and taking adorbs photos of my kitty cats.
