Hello.
So I'll start with the basics. My name is Laura, or Delilah, whichever you prefer. I'm 19, well 20 this month and I live in London, although I grew up in two small towns in East Anglia.
I'm at university at the moment, Goldsmith's College ULU, to be precise, studying English and Comparative Literature. I'm not enjoying it too much, I love to read, so that aspect is fine, I just haven't and find it hard to relate to people on my course.
I'm very quiet, sometimes it looks like I can be easily bossed around, but that couldn't be further from the truth; I spend most of my time formulting opinions. I like to be in the background, observing.
Because of the lack of anyhing stimulting on my course, I've been trying to occupy myself elsewhere. I recently bought a film slr and love to take photos; when I get a scanner I can finally post to my journal. I also just got a guitar, after hearing spider and the webs I knew I had to, and could, learn to play.
I also like to write; I make zines, write poetry, prose... my writing inspirations are Anais Nin, Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, Vladimir Nabokov, Miranda July, Franz Kafka, Simone de Beuvior, Ariel Levy...to name a few.
I pass most of my spare time drawing, anything from pages of paisley doodles to tattooed pinups. Favourite artists at the moment are Audrey Kawasaki, Gustav Klimt, Mucha.
Music is a big passion of mine, I try to go to gigs every week. My favourite bands/artists are: Sleater-Kinney, Amy Winehouse, Bratmobile, Bob Dylan, Spider and the Webs, Heaven's To Betsy, The Frumpies, The Go Team, Bikini Kill, Jim Bob, Sonic Youth, well that's what has been playing constantly just lately.
so, it would be lovely if you wanted to add me, it would be great to talk to some like minded people, and hopefully be inspired to write in my journal more <3
