Introduction

So I've had a Blogger account for about 3 years now and I don't think I've ever used it but I've been doing so much new stuff lately I figured I might as well start a blog, especially since it doubles as a place to document all of my activities!

I love Parks and Rec.

At this particular moment in time I'm in bed as I'm off sick from work.  I'm migrane-y, I'm being sick and I ache all over but instead of using this as an opportunity to study I have spent most of my morning watching Parks and Recreation.  I deem it productive, but I'm sure my lecturers would not agree.

So, as the post title promises I am here to tell you a little bit about moi.  I am Claire and at the time of writing I am a 20-year old administrator for a small company in Aberdeen, Scotland.  I'm also studying for a BA (Hons) degree in Business Management in addition to my full time work, which can get pretty tiring but it'll be worth it.  I'm hideously unfit, but I recently took up roller derby which is officially the best form of exercise in the world.

chosen partially because of it's relevance to
roller derby, partially because I have a large
ladycrush on Barrymore.

It is the only sport I have ever come across that I both:

a) actually enjoy participating in

b) can actually feel the benefit of the workout a couple of days after training

So yeah, I'm going to keep going with it and hopefully one day I'll actually get good enough to play bouts.  Seems a long way off at the moment but the girls on the team are such great and supportive coaches that I think it's possible, or at least I hope it's possible.  I mean I've already spent way too much money on skates and gear...

That's me on the right, in case
you were curious...

Other than work, university and derby I spent most of my time with my darling other half Michael or with friends.  In terms of the future, I'm not really sure what it holds for me.  Me and Michael are trying to save up to buy a house but at the moment it seems a bit impossible, but we'll persevere and hopefully get there eventually.  A nice job, a few pets and kids and a sweet car would also be pretty sound but we'll stick to the big stuff first!

Anyway, that's a bit about me - I hope we get to know each other a bit better over the next wee while but feel free to ask me any questions.

Lots of love,

Claire
