hello.

i don't know who reads my blog. it may or may not be people i know. but i was thinking, a blog is supposed to be about the person writing it. i've shared my emotions here. but no actual information on myself. so, dear reader, if you don't know me, sit back and relax...

my full name is victoria alice fothergill and i'm 19 years old. i'm essex born and bred, but most of the time, i live in london. i'm currently a full time student, studying bsc criminology and criminal psychology. i also have a part time job at the su bar and at sainsburys. glamorous, i know.

i like a lot of things. music wise, i like all types of music, but mainly rock and alternative. in terms of film and tv, i love superhero movies, musicals, comedy and psychological thrillers. i love stuff like iron man, the avengers, hairspray, scott pilgrim, juno, les mis, to name a few. however, i'm not guilty to admit that i do love the odd disney movie or two. but my one guilty pleasure movie is labyrinth, yes, the one with david bowie...

as for my hobbies, i enjoy being creative. i don't do it often, but i love painting and drawing. i used to be amazing, don't mean to blow my own horn, but life got in the way and i kinda lost my passion for it. i hope to rediscover it soon. i also love reading. reading isn't a hobby, it's a skill, i know. but i indulge myself in books, get lost in their worlds. my favourites vary greatly, ranging from biographies about myra hindley or the wests, to fantasy such as the hobbit, to classic literature such as anna karenina, frankenstein, or the works of shakespeare.

my personality has been described, somewhat changeably, depending on who you ask. to many, i'm a good friend, a good listener, confident, headstrong, intellectual, hard working. to others i'm stubborn, aggressive, persistent. you can make your own judge of who i am by reading my blog. to me, who i am is the person that got my to where i am today, and i'm not changing that for anyone. if you can't handle me, your loss. if you can, then great, buckle yourself in for a bumpy ride ;)
