Music at the University of Hull, graduated MMus a couple of years back, though it's starting to feel like decades...

'Heart of Darkness' - Joseph Conrad

Nothing currently, though I'm toying with the idea of having Tatlin's Tower (the coolest structure never built) somewhere on my body, as different take on the 'curves and lines' thing that you see with celtic crosses and knots.

While I've never been sporty at all, I do like to remain moderately active. I like to go on long walks whilst listening to music or audiobooks, and doing so also gives me a lot of time to think. It may not sound like much, but it works for me.

Being a double bass player without a car, I also walk the mile or so from home to rehearsals and then back again with the bass over my shoulder, which counts as a bit of a workout I suppose (that said, the worst bit is simply getting it up the cramped stairs to my flat when I get home at night!)

While there are a number of fatter people in my friends list, as most of them were people I met at uni and I've since graduated and left I rarely see them in person these days.

With the majority of my post-uni social circle, fatter people are relatively (drumroll please for awful choice of words) thin on the ground. I thought about this a bit and conclude that it's probably an unfortunate side effect of what my social life largely revolves around; drama and amateur theatre. Now, I know that plenty of big people have buckets of self confidence and positive body image, certainly here, but it's unfortunately not too much of a stretch to say that a lot don't, and the thought of prancing around on stage in front of an audience of people (even in a little am-dram company) probably doesn't strike a lot of them as something they'd like to do. Once you filter them out, and then filter for people for whom drama simply isn't their thing regardless of whether they have the confidence, it's probably not too surprising that the majority of people in my social circle are thin-to-average sized.

Daleks. Anyone who disagrees is to be considered the enemy of the Daleks, and destroyed. EX-TER-MI-NATE!

Brave New World, or Nineteen Eighty-Four?

I've always been an FA and harboured feeder desires. There's something about fat women that just...defies proper description. They're just beautiful. I appreciate that pretty much everyone is, but in the end fat woman are just moreso (literally). And, while I think I could be very content with a woman who didn't want to gain if everything else in the relationship was right, there is something about weight gain, too. It just feels right, like the feedism is a natural extension of FA-ness.

I'm also here because I'm tired of feeling isolated. The main centre of my social life doesn't attract much in the way of people who would understand this part of me (that's not to say I think they'd be particularly judgemental they're awesome people) let alone anyone who would want to really engage with it. So I'm here to find some like minded people and maybe at some point a particularly like minded woman. One can but hope.

The loosening laces could lend itself well to steampunk/victoriana/just corsets in general.

Tender Sugar - Akira Yamaoka, sung by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (Silent Hill 4 soundtrack)

Sounds like a gentlemen to me
