 | | Sheep or penguins? Laura prefers sheep!! |
I've just finished my first year at Lancaster Uni studying English Literature, Creative Writing and Philosophy, and next year it will be straight English Lit all the way. Interesting Fact I've nearly finished my Gold Duke of Edinburgh award - we did our expedition in the Scottish Wilderness...ever been on a toilet with panoramic views?! Loves Gingerbread men (they're yummy!!) ,seeing my friends, reading, writing, playing jazz on sax and clarinet, hot chocolate, tennis Hates Flying ducks, rude/arrogant people, spiders, grey skies in the summer (hello?!) Music
 | | The Chiefs 'like to have a lot of fun' |
I love jazz, and all the soul, blues and funk surrounding it. A wicked band I saw recently is The Fat Cats, look them up! I love most music for dancing to, including R 'n' B, hip hop and all the cheesy classics that make a night out, but my fave music is rock and indie. The best bands at the moment are the Kaiser Chiefs, The Coral, The Magic Numbers, Razorlight, Athlete, Killers, Feeder, Coldplay and the unstoppable U2. I also love Maroon Five and Rooster...but I get teased?! Ambitions I've always always always wanted to be a writer and I want my first novel published one day! I also want to be a journalist and the Blast scheme should hopefully help get me started. Then when I'm rich and famous I want to open my own jazz club (one to rival my best friend hehe!). Sheep or penguins? SHEEP!! There is no contest. Blast I'm going to be out reporting on all the happening events over the summer from all over South Yorks, including bands, musicians, theatre, dance, art and writing, and all things wierd and wonderful, so if you know of any events or if you're in a band or anything yourself, let me know! |
