CURRENT MISSION

To learn the phrase 'someone has stolen ALL the children' in as many languages as possible.

ABOUT ME

The perfect example of middle class hippie parenting. I travel a lot, I talk a lot but try to learn a lot. I've FINALLY acheieved the status of 'currently at university', although who knows how long it will stick this time. Just moved to Istanbul for a year and currently stuck between a life involving international politics or that of a demented hermit in the woods - orientation changing daily.

PHILOSOPHY

that the useless tidbits that we think of as only garnishing our days in fact constitute them - see 'Stranger than Fiction' for more detail
