About me

I am probably not the most exciting person you'll meet but I like to think I entertain!

I like to play Mummy - I have a habit of calling everyone pet names, and making sure everyone is alright and happy

Related to that - I like to cook (terribly, see below, I am *not* a good cook and usually have several anxious people hovering next to me), clean and make endless cups of tea. Just call me Mrs Doyle.

I'm dyspraxic, I also suffer from what my doctor's calling chronic anxiety syndrome. Have bouts of depression too. I'm also a carer of sorts - my mum has a seizure disorder (not epilepsy but similar) and multiple health difficulties, my wee sister has severe autism. I'm happy to chat about anything relating to that.

I have also had several gynaecological problems and am willing to blether about that sort of thing.

I am *terrible* for replying to people but rest assured I usually do, eventually. I read every PM I get - you people are beautiful

If you recognise me - lovely, PM. If not - PM anyway, I like meeting new humans..

Academic Info

I'm studying English and Linguistics at Aberdeen University. I've also done anthropology, childcare, primary education.. I'm hoping to one day run my own business - my ultimate goal is to own a coffeeshop where I sell crafts and relaxation/aromatherapy goodies. I'd ideally like a two floor building where I can practice massage, aromatherapy, various holistic therapies, etc upstairs and do the shop stuff downstairs. I can dream..

Interests

I love long walks in the country, painting, cooking. I love Scottish history and am keen on genealogy. I have an Ancestry profile.. I love old fashioned things - I fancy doing up a croft when I'm older in Edwardian/Victorian style. I love Beatrix Potter - we share a birthday - and I love Disney movies (the old ones). I also love gothic romance novels, or tragic novels (i.e. Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Jane Eyre). I collect a lot of different things and have quite a love for music boxes. I'm also probably the oldest fan of In The Night Garden and have finally found a talking Makka Pakka! I also love Chanel items and House of Fraser clothing.

Also quite like Indie Pop music - Strawberry Whiplash were a new discovery the other day.. I highly reccomend sticking a band name in youtube and working your way through the side bar of related videos as you never know what might come up!

I run my own radio show every Tuesday, 4-5pm, during term time through Aberdeen Student Radio.

I'm also Catholic - my faith's a big part of my life.
