I am

I'm terrible for
Singing and dancing in my sleep, going days and days without talking if I so wish, leaving tea bags in my tea and drinking the remaining tea out of the tea bag, falling asleep with a book in my hand or a pen, or the stilettos I was wearing that night, buying far too much lingerie, flirting with my best friends, being either so shy or a complete show off, avoiding uni work or my nursery reports, worrying about silly bullshit, being a secret romantic.
I'm known for
being hard working, difficult, a bit maniac, erratic, odd, funny when I want, gregarious, quiet, introspective, shy, silly, self deprecating, patient at work, kind hearted, grumpy, swearing far too often, making dark and obscure jokes, being cliquey with my best boys, eccentric, brave, loyal, not brushing my hair, a massive foodie, refusing to eat when hyper or scared, nervous, singing always, incredibly claustrophobic, my odd dress sense, my red lipstick, false eyelashes and beauty spot, buying coats, flirting, loving hummus too much, having too many in jokes with my best friends, loving my job as a pre school assistant and having an incredibly quick temper.
I secretly......
long to be respected and bright and clever in my own niches and people to not disregard my decisions, to be successful and capable and confident, to make enought to move out and live alone, to meet other people who like the things I like and be bright, talented and clever enough to hold my own with them, to be a writer, to be paid to write reviews for plays, to take promo photographs and theatre photographs, to have a relationship like The League of Gentlemen do with each other , to be part of a double act, to sing, act and ham it up on a professional basis, to do surreal comedy, to kiss Daniel Rigby, to meet someone gorgeous and flawless and perfect, to feel like I used 5 minutes before curtain, to feel like I did when I walked into the building for the poetry conference aged 16, to be able to go to the theatre and opera regularly, to meet someone I didn't have to change for.
