About Me Punk Barbie Leeds graduate living in London. Queer, hairy, and feminist. Keen on education and eliminating kyriarchy. Lord of the Rings is my god damn jam. Nothing on the internet is funnier than animalstalkinginallcaps.com. My favourite vegetable is a sweet potato. I love Nicki Minaj. I go running. I wish I spoke better French. I like people who are easily amused, contemplative, who accept difference and detect bullshit accurately. I try to keep the same qualities in myself, but sometimes I'm plain serious, bitchy and neurotic. So it goes..
