| Bio: | ...the bathroom mirror has not budged, and the woman who lives there can tell the truth from the stuff that they say. She looks me in the eye and says, "Would you prefer the easy way? No? Well, OK then, don't cry." Vital stats: Twenty something, female, short, brunette, plump. Person behind them Feminist, environmentalist pseudo-hippified vegan. Full of wanderlust and family love, affection-craving, friends-missing, footloose but not fancy-free. (Some who wander are lost.) Pro-choice, pro-LGBT rights, pro-female ordination, evolution-affirming, not-quite-Trinitarian, non-Biblical-literalist Christian (good little Anglican choir-girl, honest to Godde). Y-generation and appropriately self-involved. Whinge constantly about finding a vocation and never seem to succeed in doing so. Sick of being single when I think about it; don't think about it too much. Love cats and like to cook vegan stuff that everyone else looks at suspiciously. Also have a habit of hectoring people about the three Rs and how to reduce one's carbon footprint. Location: London, home in Haringey, by Turnpike Lane station. Work in the library of the College of Law, Bloomsbury location... on hold for the next ten weeks. Will relocate part-time to the offices of the Kurdish Human Rights Project, London, for a summer internship. Education and occupation: Last year (academic year, more or less -- October 2006 to August 2007), I was working as an office manager with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Prior to that, worked as a temporary admin-type person for various recruitment agencies. Prior to that, as an EFL teacher. Have a BA and a twelve-month MA in religious studies that I could've invested more in. But didn't. I am now a student and have just completed the Graduate Diploma in Law, an equivalency course to a British law degree, which is possibly the toughest thing I have ever done in my life. I am intending on a career as a barrister. Bar Vocational Course begins this autumn. Movements: Born in London. Moved to Calgary at age three, to Vancouver the following year, went through school to the end of first year university there. Montreal for the last three years of university, then Kingston, Ontario for the following academic year (to get that MA). Fled to Istanbul for two years to teach English, then back to London. Have lived here since October 2005. Family and friends: Mother and step-father (Ruth and Keith) in Vancouver, also step-brother (Shawn) and step-sister (Shari), both with partners(ish) and children (Shawn, Lorraine, Graydon; Shari, Darryl, Lucas, Alyssa). Grandmother (Margaret, Nana) also in Vancouver. Aunts in Banff (Sarah) and Calgary (Karen). Cousins (sons of aunts) in Fernie, B.C. (Karen's sons Matthew and Adam), and one who is newly returned to Vancouver from Switzerland (my brother-cousin, James, Sarah's son). Uncle (Mark) in Jersey (Channel Islands, not New) with wife (Amanda) and two more cousins, eight-year-old boy-girl twins (Tirion and Peter). In London I have my mum's cousin (Tom) his wife (Ruth), and their daughters (the gorgeous girls: Lilian, Leah and Molly). There are other cousins, but mostly they're it. University friends have scattered but Shubha, Sorcha and Abby were my roommates. The Vancouver friends I've held onto include Joanna and Jessica. My Istanbul teaching posse includes but is not limited to Alex, Julia, Brody, Stephen, Gabriel, Allison, Kitty and Katherine. In London I have Janet, who was in fact my first roommate, sharing a flat with my mother and me when I was one; and ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} firenightingale. And any of her friends who happen to be hanging about.I live with newlyweds Justin and Georgie and our mouthy, toothless, cancer-ridden fourteen-year-old black and white cat, Daisy. And that's me. | |||||
