    Hi :)

    Just joined the group and I thought I'd pile in...

    1. Where were you born?

    Wolverhampton

    2. Where do you live at the moment?

    Wolverhampton

    3. Where else have you lived?

    Hmm, going in order (to the best of my recollection), Ranton and Eccleshall (Staffs), Much Wenlock (Shropshire), Englewood (Florida, USA - nearly three years) East Kilbride and Glasgow in Scotland (10 years), and then back to Wolves four years ago :) Tres circuitous.

    4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?

    Currently PA for an NHS sexual health clinic. Dream job - virtually anything I'm capable of that's not in admin. I do a fair bit of voluntary work in the LGBT community and I'd love to do that full time and paid. I'd be happy doing anything in the area of health promotion, community development, training/FE teaching and probably a lot more that I'd know if I saw it...

    5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself :)

    a. I'm a big geek - both in the computer/gadgetry sense, and also in needing to know about absolutely everything that grabs my attention. Also extends to knitting, sci-fi, taste in TV and film (probably music, too)
    b. I'm totally gay - in the fabulous and women-fancying sense
    c. My main heroes are Stephen Fry, Alan Turing and Brian Cox
    d. I did a degree at Glasgow Caledonian University
    e. I secretly want to wear goth clothes. There is a *happy*, geeky goth-type in red tartan trousers itching to get out of me!

    I went to Caley uni too!!
