History, literature, art... Sensitive and thoughtful, loves learning, creativity and being outdoors. I'm a historian, a PhD student currently, and in my spare time I do story writing, model making, swimming and traditional sword dancing. My music is classical, rock and folk, and my favourite books are by George Eliot, the Brontes, Thomas Mann, Kafka and Dostoyevsky.
I'm quiet in big groups and like my own space, but I'm not exactly shy, and I love chatting about life in general, perhaps with a bit of history, pub philosophy and art thrown in. I'm very relaxed about most things, but I work hard and take pride in having a fair measure of determination and staying power!
I wouldn't call myself an 'intellectual' (not really clever enough, or interested in ideas in themselves), but I have an enormous need to make sense of things, and I find that art, history, literature etc are most useful for that.
