Ok so if you've read this far then you will already know a few things about me and my likes/dislikes, but this section is a bit more detailed.

Generally I'm an average person that enjoys leading others, I can be highly competitive and this usually motivates me or drives me forward. I have quietened down a lot as I've gotten a bit older but when I'm around people I tend to raise my voice, usually when I'm happy or annoyed. I am usually chatty in normal conversations but very vocal and opinionated when a subject of interest comes up. In public I blend in and keep noise to a minimum because I don't like annoying people, I am perhaps a bit "too" considerate with everyone around me these days.

I am physically fit and playful with people I know well. I can keep doing something I enjoy all day long unless something more fun comes up. I have food on the brain.

Yes it's probably obvious by now that I have a great deal of interests and can usually find something that fascinates me in just about any subject.
I also have a career, I work as a software support consultant for Emis (which is software used in doctor's surgeries). The wage is decent but I don't know if I want to work in computers forever as I'm a more active and outside person. To be honest, I don't have a set path for the future and will just see where life takes me now..

I am one hundred percent British, born and raised in London, however by blood I am half Italian and half Peruvian, nobody guesses my nationality correctly!
When I was sixteen I moved away from London and spent around five years living down in Devon before I met Xai and moved to the North with him. At the moment I am living in a quiet, little town called Yeadon and enjoying it very much!

Who is Xai I hear you ask? Well he is my fiancé and we met in Bristol city back in September 2007, he drives Northern Rail trains as a career (which I find utterly awesome), he was born in North Yorkshire at a time when there was no central heating or TVs and you had to heat your house by burning real coal! Yes his village was a little backwards in the eighties compared to London, I can't possibly fathom a house with no TV or heating and yet Xai grew up in such a lifestyle!

Me and Xai have been together for three years. If we're not meeting up with our friends from The Sky Temple, we can usually be found traveling by rail or car, going for walks, birdwatching, trainspotting, swimming, building things, playing games, cooking, watching movies.. the list goes on of course!

Random Facts:

• I really don't like eating a meal that doesn't have any vegetables in it of some kind.
• I didn't used to eat much meat when I was younger but now I'm utterly addicted to steak etc.
• I have a big UK map poster and I've marked every place I've ever visited with Xai, one day I hope to fill it entirely.
• Despite me spending time online, I actually don't like being indoors much.
• The M62 is one of my favourite roads in the country.
  
• Although I associate with the Pokémon Articuno, I absolutely HATE the cold, put me in warm weather and I thrive.

Please keep in mind that I often change the wording of my profile!
