BioI hadn't updated this properly since I lived in Edinburgh. I think I'd better.
I'd like to think I'm the new, mature faerycake... but in 10 years time I'll probably look back at 24 year old eva and be embarrassed, as I always am when I look back.
Here are some nice things to counteract any potential future embarrassment.
Nice thing number one is![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
mrcameraman! Yay!
Doesn't he look dashing?
Confession: that's not what he really looks like. He doesn't have six eyes. He's wearing a that he made for a Tim Burton party. We like making things.
I like making toy giraffes in particular. Our toy giraffe lives in our living room, in a pirate crow's nest with other toys we've made.
We like going to art galleries.
Here's me and a well-endowed yellow monster outside the Tate Modern. Yay!
And nice vegan cafes.
Although I'm also a bit obsessed with cooking/baking/etc. Especially things from Post Punk Kitchen affiliated books.
Aside from the fun things, but also a nice thing, is what I'm lucky enough to call my work.
I'm doing a PhD in the Critical Theory/Cultural Studies sort of area. it's called something like 'Dissenting Knowledge and Virtual Networks: the collaboration of activism and science'. It's sort of looking at online activism and actor-network theory and AR activists collaborating with scientists in order to produce knowledge to critique the dominant discourse of vivisection. Although to look at the syntax of that sentence it's surprising I even got funding!
It's a mixed bag of depressing (due to subject matter) and ace, because I love the research.
It's counterbalanced with a part-time job working for a solicitor, which has given me some insight into the prison law system. The nature of the job means it's the same mixture of depressing and life-affirming as my Phd, but for wholly different reasons.
Last and definitely not least in my rambling list of nice things has to be my ace family and friends in Nottingham, Edinburgh, North Norfolk and elsewhere, who I love very much.
So.
I'm not quite as faerycake-ish anymore. But I still like bright dresses...
...and pink tattoos. yay!
