Proper name: Madeline Ruth Nightingale

Location: South Oxfordshire
Subjects at A level/IB/APs/Arbitur etc: English lit, RS, Biology, General Studies (AS Art)
Degree course and state level eg BSc, MSc: Social anthropology (cant remember whether I applied for a BA or BSc but its essentially irrelevent)
Accommodation Choices: Carr Saunders
Why the LSE? Ummm. I guess I just wanted somewhere completely different and full of interesting people (when you've spent 18 years in rural Oxfordshire cental London becomes really rather appealing).
D.O.B: 24/02/87
Any brothers/sisters?: 2 sisters. One older, one younger.
Any pets: Two cats
Fave band/artist: This is so hard. It entirely depends on my mood. Counting Crows, Ryan (not Brian) Adams, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Willy Mason, U2, Garbage, Alanis Morassette, REM, Placebo (ok, I'm sure you get the gist by now, I'll stop).
Fave song: Ooooo even harder. I'd have to say Round Here by Couting Crows for the beautiful lyrics.
Fave TV show: I have to admit, TV for me involves mindless escapism. Therfore it would have to be the OC. Oh, and Black Books. Hillarious.
Fave films: Hmmm. I'm not a big film person. Can I change this to favourite books? The Solitaire Mystery, Cider with Rosie, 1984, The Cider House Rules, Cold Comfort Farm and I Capture the Castle.
Fave hobby: The gym, pilates and swimming.
Fave colour: Green.
Fave food: I find this changes all the time. At the moment its cherries. But pasta and chocolate are perminant favourites.
Fave sport: Well, I love rowing and netball and I quite enjoyed hockey (although my talent in it was really quite non-existent). However, I dont really enjoy the competative aspect of sports so i sort of gave them up.
Which football team do you support?: See above.
Fave non-alcoholic drink: J20
Fave alcoholic drink: Malibu and Coke
How often do you drink? About once a week, although I rarely drink excessively.
Do you smoke? Smoke what? Lol. No. Although I work in a pub and so sometimes I feel as if I do.
Can you play an instrument?: I used to play guitar but I cant really remember anything now.
Can you speak a foreign language?: Sadly not.
What makes you happy?: My friends, nice pubs, my boyfriend, interesting conversations.
Describe yourself in 5 words: Sensitive, intelligent, empathic, arrogant and ambitious.
Anything else you want to say: I sincerely hope that social life at LSE is better than its reputation - I have every faith that it is.

I would attach a picture but I'm quite technologically illiterate and that might be a little too ambitious for me.

Jin was a rapper on the RR label, but retired his name and is apparently making a comeback as "The Emcee"; pity, because he's an absolutely sick rapper, and that was one of the stupidest career moves he could make.

Gilels and Zimerman are pianists, though I wouldn't expect their names to be recognised here (hell, I'd practically joygasm if they were :biggrin:
