Hi there - Please continue reading - I might not be as terminally boring as you think. I live in Leatherhead, Surrey. I am 20 years old (I was born just two minutes into my parents' third wedding anniversary, on the 30th of July 1991). I have been to a record number of schools and colleges (seven), considering that I've only moved house once, due to various problems (of these, I only left one because I had come to the end of the highest year). I feel that, if I didn't have more important things to do, that I would be campaigning to end bullying by staff in schools, which I have experienced a number of times. I am a bit of a rebel when it comes to churchgoing - or maybe the exact opposite. I hate the modern Catholic rite, and the lack of good music therein, so I go when I can to Tridentine Rite Latin Masses, in which I find I can bury my general dislike of present-day organised religion. My musical tastes are fairly varied - my mum has been a church organist since when she was my age (she's 55 now), so I've been heavily influenced by that. Otherwise, I'm into anything that counts as rock, apart from nu-metal and emo. I am proud of my Scottish ancestry and claim reasonably close relationship with the Chieftan of Clan MacLennan.
