What is your first name?:
Sophie.
Age:
24
Location:
In my mind, a timeless, ageless and wholly imaginary landscape in which nothing exists other than the things I will into being by admiration, wonder, or even love. In reality, Glasgow, home of vulgarity and squalor.
Hobbies and Interests:
Reading, writing, running . . . and inadvertently thinking far too much about everything until reality resembles a sort of mangled hat.
Why are you here?
Because I don't belong anywhere else ( . . . and nor, for the most part, would I want to, which is telling in itself).
When were you diagnosed?:
July, 2008.
Year/Grade:
Floundering Alumnae.
Favorite music:
Morrissey, Nick Cave and R.E.M. - unless I'm running, in which case I don't want to think and will listen to whichever crass tat has lately been doled out.
Books:
Too many to mention.
TV shows/Movies:
. . . Too few to mention. Television is, on the whole, fairly dreadful. I have a great affection for Wes Anderson's films, Napoleon Dynamite, Edward Scissorhands, and things with Adrien Brody in them.
Do you like sports?:
No, not at all.
How did you find this website?:
By trundling about on Google.
Plans for the future?:
I plan not to compromise myself by caring what my family think of me. I plan to not let down the people who care about me. I plan to teach myself to worry less.
