Me? Really?

Well, I never know what to say when someone asks me about myself. I'll start with the basics. I'm Kim, I have no middle name which I have always felt rather aggrieved about. Maybe I will give myself a middle name. People tend to call me Kimmi as I have an uncle called Kim and it has led to a lot of unfortunate situations and confusions in the past. Seriously, like living in a comedy of errors.

Anyway, I turned 27 in August but I try to act like I'm 21 and I intend to grow old most disgracefully. I love rock and indie music, my favourites being Led Zeppelin, Green Day, Alkaline Trio, Eels, Blink 182 and many more. I waste my time trying to play guitar, reading, writing and playing Skyrim. I have five tattoos, planning to add to them when I have a job! I'm a newly qualified primary teacher and I'm currently job hunting. Before that I was a nursery nurse for four years. My degree is in early childhood studies and I spent last year doing a PGCE to become a qualified teacher.

It was at uni I met a certain life-changing young man, but most of you know the story so I won't ramble on. Although I could gush about him and bemoan my current situation for hours. Lets just say he's far away and I miss him.

My favourite colour is purple. I'm obsessed with all things Lord of the Rings. Aliens is my favourite film ever. I collect random stuffed toys, especially Sanrio characters. I read comics (Marvel) and I'm generally quite nerdy. I bake, but my cooking sucks. Sushi is my favourite food but I also love chocolate. And Oreos.

Bob Dylan is one of my heroes. I think Daniel Craig, Billie Joe Armstrong, Bruce Willis and various odd celebrities are hot. Like Crispin Glover and Chris Barrie. And Cillian Murphy. Also...I have a girl crush on Milla Jovivich. Woman is perfect.

I'm quite...volatile sometimes, but I don't hold a grudge for long. I cry a lot, because otherwise I get depressed. Crying lets the boo-hoos out. My childhood was ok; my mum was a teenage single mother, my dad was absent and my grandparents used me as a weapon against my mother in their little game of inter-family one-upsmanship. I avoid my family as much as possible. I don't do well with people in general - I'm quite socially awkward and it takes me a while to get comfortable with people. I like children more than most adults - that's one reason I'm meant to be a teacher!

I have issues with society and conformism - I tend to deliberately do what people say I can't. I don't think I fit in any niche because really, I'm just me. It's taken 27 years to start to figure out who that is. I've only recently learned to do what makes me happy rather than trying to please other people. Blah.

I like a drink...ok that's an understatement! Jäger bombs, red wine, rum...anything really! I have a seriously dirty mind and I get compared to Todd from Scrubs due to my obsession with innuendos and double entendre.

I have two dwarf hamsters and a dwarf lop rabbit called Harvey. I love him more than most people.

I want to visit Alaska, it's my dream. Ever since watching Into The Wild I've wanted to go there.

Well I think I've gone on for long enough. Any questions, ask away.
