OHAI.
Welcome to this, my very own self-indulgent narcissistic corner of the internet, created solely as somewhere for my relentless stream of consciousness to pour, with your amusement being a hopeful (though realistically unlikely) side-effect. This particular page is all about me (thank you, Captain Obvious) – the actual blog is HERE. However I’ve set this as my Home Page because the photos look nice and I only just learnt how to move them about.
I can be found in various haunts across the internets, but this is probably the best place to start to get to know me. If words aren’t your thing then you really are in the wrong place as superfluous verbosity is just one of my many talents, however I can also be found here in pictures, and here in music. 
So, about me. Well, i’m a 28yr old compulsive-list-writing eternally-editing constantly-late single parent to Menace, simultaneously the best thing to ever happen to me and the sole reason for my exponentially decreasing sanity. In my spare time (ha!) I study for a degree in Psychology with the Open Uni, I write (currently a book based around a satirical look at self-help, as well as various short stories for magazines, all of which are far too unsavoury to post here), I game (mostly on Urban Dead – I have a group or two in there), I code websites (currently only with HTML and CSS but my unquenchable thirst for learning new stuffs will probably see PHP added to the list before the year’s out), I cook, I correct people’s grammar on internet forums, I fix things, I waste time on the internet (see my ‘things that make me laugh til it hurts’ links on the right there —>), I fart about on the guitar & compose stuffs when the mood takes me, I post inane crap online at 4am… the list goes on, and it’s all just as generic and boring. Really.
Personality-wise, it’s really hard to sum up without sounding like a personal ad ripped from the pages of The Guardian. I have an plethora of online profiles (links on the right: other online haunts), but probably the best way of getting to know me is to read this burbling excuse for a blog. I have a whole page dedicated to random facts about me (told you I was a compulsive list-maker) which is constantly being amended and updated (also believe I mentioned I was eternally editing stuff), as well as a list of things I plan to do before I die, but if this doesn’t satiate your curiosity then please do feel free to drop me an email.
Tl;dr: I’m far more complex than I can sum up in a paragraph or two on a web page (isn’t everyone!? Well, most people – I have met some remarkable exceptions to this rule) but until such a time as something like email or the telephone is invented, it’ll have to do.
Welcome to my planet.
Please wipe your feet – I’ve only just hoovered.
Crystal x
