Pretty young for the average writer, I expect; I'm trudging through the second year of an IB course and cannot wait for university. Unhealthy obsessions with chocolate, fruits & vegetables (healthy eater, who'd have thought), writing (of course), reading (fittingly), old books. Also Oscar Wilde, George Byron, John Keats, Giacomo Casanova, Euripides, Molière, Samuel Pepys - to a degree - and the Bard, as well as Kit (Christopher Marlowe). Have lived in some unlikely places and am, by this point, thoroughly an international citizen. Am hoping to study Ancient History, so obsessions inevitably exist with Venice, Paris, Athens, pretty much any type of ruin. Fairytales, old diaries, diaries in general and musicals, particularly French musicals. The Renaissance, pre-Raphaelites, Baroque architecture, Art Nouveau, Romanticism. And, last but not least: pre-technicolor movies, black and white photographs, dusty vinyl, roses and ribbons, Indian elephants, and vanilla-coconut body scrub.
