My Bio
Hi.

I'm not good at bios, so I'll just make a list. I'll try to be interesting, but I can't make any promises.

Music is a big part of my life. My favourite bands/artists (in no particular order) are David Bowie, Arcade Fire, and Lana Del Rey.

I also love Elbow, Muse, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Blondie, ELO, Pulp, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Mumford and Sons, Caravan Palace, The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran, Simon and Garfunkel, The Cure, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, MGMT, Led Zepplin, Radiohead, Queen, and The Who, and enjoy some Alice Cooper, ABBA, Bee Gees, Billy Joel, Dido, Guns 'n' Roses, Eurythmics, The Horrors, Meatloaf, Mott the Hoople, The Wombats, Panic at the Disco, Manic Street Preachers, People in Planes, and My Morning Jacket. I really love jazz and swing but I'm not knowledgeable enough about them to say that I like any particular artists. I also love movie soundtracks, and I enjoy orchestral and classical music of other sorts, but as with jazz I don't know that I have particular favourite composers.

Fan of: Studio Ghibli, Harry Potter, Doctor Who (especially David Tennant era), Pokemon, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Steampunk, Japanese cooking (especially bento), literature.

Favourite books: Nabokov's 'Lolita', Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby', Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights', D H Lawrence's 'The Rainbow' and 'Women in Love', Woolf's 'Orlando', Hogg's 'The Private Confessions and Memoirs of a Justified Sinner', J M Barrie's 'Peter Pan'.

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw

I'm a vegetarian for ethical reasons.

My favourite foods are probably pizza, macaroni cheese, lasagne (with soya mince, obviously), warm cookies, and ice-cream.

Misc:

I like to stay pale.
I will take any excuse to wear a costume.
I studied at the University of Oxford.
I'm a chronic procrastinator.
I would love to travel, especially in the East - particularly Japan - and in the US. I have a fantasy of a sort of month-long road trip all over the US. Also North somewhere snowy with northern lights, and Germany and Switzerland, and the old parts of Italy, and all over the place.
I'm a singer.
I'm an atheist.
If I could choose a super power, it would be shape-shifting.
I have Tumblr. It's here: leatherboundgalaxies.tumblr.co…
I also have an Instagram, here: www.instagram.com/amy.chard/

Interview With The Vampire, Alice in Wonderland (Tim Burton), Peter Pan (with Jeremy Sumpter), The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Hunger, Labyrinth, the Harry Potter films, Truly Madly Deeply, A Clockwork Orange

Okay, so when I apologised in advance for posting lots of pictures of Loch Lomond, I misjudged the proportion of my upload-worthy pictures from Scotland which were of the Loch. In fact, there were only a few of those and then some more of different stuff in Scotland... Well... anyway... I am still uploading Scotland stuff, but after the first unnecessary apology, I'm reluctant to issue another. I'm not sure where I'm going with this.

I went to Scotland for a week and took lots of pictures, so now I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of those in your inbox... I'll try to spread them out rather than dumping them all at once... So, yeah. Sorry about that.

Huzzah! One of my New Year's Resolutions has been acted upon! And It only took me three months...... Yes, I've posted some literature - poetry, to be more precise. Took me a while to talk myself into it, I have to admit, and I'm partly hiding in the assumption that not many people will read it anyway. But it's here, nonetheless, so I've kept my promise to myself. I'd be really happy if you could take a look and, especially, take the time to read through the questions in the description and leave me a comment. I'm incredibly nervous about putting my words out there, but I really want some constructive criticism (and a heads-up about what I'
