About Me.

Pizza is tastier with all the toppings; get the balance right, and you create the perfect flavor. Pizza is a little bit like me, I don't come with one flavor, I come in a variety of flavors, Pineapple included.

Yes, I believe Pineapple goes on Pizza, particularly when chicken is included!

I used to be the indoorsy, non-socializing type, but that was because there was a lot of stress and difficulties in my life which caused depression and other problems, but today I am fully in the present; living life to the full, and it feels great to be me again!

I think my husband would say,

"I have my own kind of tidy!"

'Tidy' means 'lived in' to me.

I don't do spotless, that is so boring!

I prefer to live with my things, not without them. I can be tidy when I want to be, but when you visit my home you'll find that I like all my things around me, and tidy doesn't last long. This is not to say I live in a total junkyard, but I believe if you can live with a little mess, then you are healthy.

I enjoy my weights and my treadmill, and I love getting exercise but I am what I would personally describe as a 'chunky build.' However, I see no shame in that. I prefer to have a little weight on me, as it helps me to lift and gives me the energy I need to do the things I love. This is not to say that I have anything against being slim, I just like my build the way it is. Being slim looks great on many people, but for me, it tires me out and makes me feel unhealthy. I don't think being slim is natural for me as my clothes don't fit well when I lose too much weight. I have a natural chunky bone structure, and as I tell people,

How you look and feel is up to you. If you feel good about yourself, then you'll be happy with yourself and that is all that matters.

Like I believe 'Pizza is tastier with all the toppings,' my music tastes are just like Pizza with every topping that you can find. I listen to a wide range of music, and I never stick with just one type. One minute I could be listening to Olly Murs, Robbie Williams, or The Script, and the next, I could be listening to Guns and Roses, Metallica, Pink Floyd, and Black Sabbath.

People describe me as 'Quirky' when it comes to music because I am not the kind of person who fits in with a particular music crowd, I am the kind of person who loves anything from guitars, drums, classical, dance, techno, rave, reggae, oldies, country- you name it, I listen to it!

Dancing is my favorite form of exercise. I am not a professional dancer, but I have been dancing since a child, and as a child, I took part in some dancing lessons at school. However, I never really needed those, just give me a dancefloor and some music and I am guaranteed to get up and dance. I have an uncanny habit of pulling everyone else up too, even if they started out not wanting to dance!

I told my husband before we married,

"Don't spend the rest of your life with me, if you can't handle my reading habits!"

I spend my life in books whether it is an adventure, romance, murder mystery, children's story, erotica, biography, poetry, classical;

I love books as much as I love Pizza and music.

And, yes I love chocolate too! Any kind of chocolate!

I enjoy singing too. Singing is good for my mental health, and I practice as much as I can. I have had experience practicing with a tutor in a studio, but nowadays I mostly practice at home. I purchased a brand new keyboard a while back, but I had to take a break because one of my friends who was a singer sadly passed away, and my lessons were supposed to have been taken with him. However, I am ready to start again, so I will be picking up that keyboard soon.

I like to write lyrics as well as stories and poetry. I have yet to learn more about music and setting lyrics to music before I can make a song out of my lyrics. I wrote a short story that included lyrics which you can read here:

My short story is also available here:

I always seem busy writing these days!

However, I do have a life too.

I enjoy going to parks, clubs, holidays, cafes, beaches, and socializing, and I love exploring new places. I particularly love spending time with my husband watching comedies, horror, and other films on television, especially on a rainy day!

I like to play games, especially Wii Sports Resorts

Though I am very cautious when playing because I was playing tennis not long ago, and somehow managed to hit myself in the eye with the remote, leaving it bloodied for days!

Pleasant not!!

Fashion-wise, I have a motto:

'If it pleases me, then who cares what anybody else thinks!'

I don't do trends or the latest designer wear, I simply do me, and I am the same with make-up.

Anyway, by reading this piece; I hope that you great writers, readers, and the team here at Vocal have learned a little more about me!

Thank you for reading!
