About the lit nerd.

  

Hey guys :)
Apparently I sound like, and I quote, a “twat” when I write about myself, but I desperately want people to like me, so I shall do my best :)

My name is Emily. I’m a straight, 17 year old female from Wales, Great Britain, and I am currently in a relationship with the lovely Stuart. (www.toomanypeopletoacheover.tumblr.com)

That’s the easy bit done with - next…

I am a generally happy, “occasionally” sarcastic person, who is widely acknowledged to be a “nerd”. I do get stressed easily (yeah, yeah, I’m high maintenance, okay?), and my hissy fits resemble those of Stu from “The Hangover”. As a result, I manage to piss off anyone within a 2 mile radius quite a lot.

“People call me a feminist because I express opinions that differentiate me from a doormat” ~ Rebecca West.

I am currently a student of A-level English Literature, History and Chemistry, which I love (with the exception of Chemistry, which is usually the sole cause of the aforementioned hissy-fits).
I am also doing the Welsh Baccalaureate, which is basically key skills such as group work, communication, and how to waste paper.

I read religiously, getting through, on average, 2-3 books a week. I tend to read the classics, my favorites being “Wuthering Heights” and “1984”, (quite a contrast, I know) but I’m also a HUGE Harry Potter fan (being, naturally, a Gryffindor).

I’m also a musician - I play the flute, and I love my iPod as if it is my second born child (my phone is my first-born). I LOVE musicals (my favourites are “Les Miserables”, “Phantom of the Opera” and “Love Never Dies”), I like classical, and I also listen to indie, pop and classic rock.
My favourite artist is Mozart, closely followed by the Beatles.

I also have another tumblr which is a place for anyone who needs to talk about problems, rant a little, tell secrets, etc, etc. Please feel free to check it out and/or use it, the URL is www.there-are-dreams-that-cannot-be.tumblr.com.

Finally, and most importantly of all, I am ginger. Yes, that’s right, GINGER. I hope that isn’t an issue ^^

So, that’s me, in all my awkward turtle glory. Feel free to talk to me on any of the aforementioned links, and I hope you enjoy my blog :) x
