A pasty, white-skinned Brit
Feeble-minded
Right-wing illiberal
Shockable
Sensitive
Narrow-minded
A telly adict
Bored
This is what I do:
Waste days writing self-indulgent twoddle about Greek virgins immortal and mortal (I'm doing a PhD)
Possess a healthy appreciation of all things weird, wonderful and outlandish as well as all things black, red and flowing
Wine, cigarettes and howling at the moon

Dress up to go out
John Humphries
Work in the bar
Always have the last word
This is what I used to do:
Two degrees at Magdalen College, Oxford
Lesbianism with biker chicks
Hardcore depression
Squeezing blackheads
Hoarde sharp objects
Incarceration
Inner-city Cardiff (worse than the above)
Hanging around Cardiff cemetery with cheap cider (making the above bearable)
Public speaking

Be good little Greek girl
Work (in a manner of speaking) in Burger King
This is what I like:
Red things, dead things, black things, things with eyes
The House of Atreus
Learning

Being proved right
Shiny clever people
Anacreon
Twisted politics
Being proved wrong
Jumping around in fields and woods
Deep conversations
Corned beef pasties
Being deep enough to know I'm shallow

Picking at myself
Odysseus undressed
Fat rabbits
