I'm the sort of person who loves to experiment with different skills & passtimes. As I say, we all need something to fall back on, even if it's just a sofa with a bag of crisps & the TV remote.

 

These are the things I love to do...

 

Cooking: My planned profession, but so far I've had no luck in finding a job. Having had plenty of experience in a hectic kitchen environment, I know that it's a chef's life for me.

 

Sewing: I use my skills with a needle & thread to repair my broken clothes & make new ones. Sure they're for teddies, but you've got to start small.

 

Music: I've been playing different instruments all through school. From early days with a recorder & glockenspiel, I'm now keen on being a metal drummer & bassist, & just keep trying new things.

 

Watch TV: My favourite show is The Walking Dead, but Game of Thrones has grown on me recently. I love watching British comedy more than American, but I enjoy the likes of American Dad! & South Park.

 

Be Green: I collect old drinks cans & turn them into cash (though not a great deal of it). While I'm out I salvage old coins, cutlery, drinking glasses & plastic home wares; anything that can be re-used.

 

Exercise: I walk to just about anyway if I'm up for it, go to a gym at least once a week & go rock climbing & cycling with my equally-active family.

 

Writing: I went to a specialist college for people with partial-sightedness, down's syndrome, autism & similar conditions for 3 years. I have very high-functioning autism, so my writing abilities really stood out, when I became the first student at the college to write for the end of term plays the lower groups have twice a year.

 

The first one was Around the World in 80 Days for the summer, but my follow up take on Jack & the Beanstalk for Christmas became my magnum opus. I also wrote a script for Cinderella that was rejected because it was just a bit too advanced for the students the college had that year (2012).

 

I also do limericks regularly, some of which I've uploaded onto my account, if I think they're good enough. I'm currently experimenting with alternative poetry styles & young children's books about my three teddy bears.

 

These are the things I live my life by...

 

"If we can agree on one thing, it's that we disagree about everything."

 

"Loyalty's just another word for obsession."

 

"If you're always right, eventually you'll be back where you began."
