Some disclaimers

first \\ Here be extremely vocal opinions. Read at your own risk.
second \\ This is occasionally an emotional dumping ground, but these days that is both rare and heavily filtered.
third \\ I am only half as hyper and childish as I seem, but this may still occasionally be twice as hyper as you would like.
and finally \\ If I've met you, add away. If not, and you have no reason to believe we'd have anything in common, then why are you here?

A handy definition

elegy (say el-i-jee) noun plural elegies)

1. A sorrowful or serious poem. [from Greek]

2. A specimen native to Mediterreanean climes, born in London, raised in Athens, now spending weekdays studying Art History and living a torrid love affair with the City and weekends moonlighting as a party-girl. Myers-Brigg ENFP (which actually says a lot), and occasionally addressed by some friends as 'Trouble' (which tells you nothing at all. Honest!)

mind \\ Is intellectual more-than-thou, but only every third Tuesday and on full moons; outgrew a misspent youth involving speaking like an extra from The Silmarillion but still requires a dictionary to be understood when drunk. Impossibly more geeky than somebody with a functioning social life has any right to be.

demeanour \\ Social animal, prone to burst eardrums when excited though quiet and moody when tired. Collects interesting people (but hasn't mounted their heads on the wall yet). Extremely protective of loved ones. Possessed of an astonishingly pervy mind and an accordingly Rabelaisian sense of humour (but retains the right to wear a halo. Studies prove it).

tastes \\ Lapsed metaller and currently offering prayers to the gods of bleep, but still occasionally gets cravings for the sound of an electric guitar. Tends to come in flavours of black, red, white, and excessive pinstripe; is shorter than you, and therefore compensates through ever bigger and stompier boots. Burns up the dancefloor at every possible opportunity.

attitude \\ Believes that taking oneself seriously is the greatest of all possible sins. Abhors drama. Subsists mainly on easily available stimulants (caffeine, nicotine, sugar, and happiness) as well as the iron-clad faith that Things Tend To Turn Out Okay In The Long Run; is still not sure where this optimism originates, but hey, it's all good!
