Personal

 This is me at the beach in August '08

 Personal Info:
I was born in London in 1984 (which makes me 24) and brought up in Nicosia, the capital city of sunny Cyprus. I'm an undergraduate student at //The University of Nicosia//, currently in the last semester of my fourth and final year :) So, by this autumn I should be in possession of a //BA in English Language and Literature// - Hurrah!

My outdoor interests include anything relating to the beach (swimming, snorkelling, water sports, sleeping under an umbrella), anything to do with snow (which is unfortunate as it never snows in Cyprus), travelling - preferably to the untamed wilderness (although usually from the safety of my couch through the TV. set with Sir David Attenborough), and hanging out with my dogs.  My indoor interests include cooking, creating fantasy art, watching films and TV. series (go //Wire//!), surfing the net, and reading, obviously.

  My all time favourite author is Neil Gaiman whose amazing//The Sandman// introduced me to the wonders of the comic book medium and of fantasy art and literature. Neil just won the Newbery Medal for his latest contribution to the world of children's literature//,The Graveyard Book// - Congrats! Other things he's written which I love: //Good Omens// - in collaboration with Terry Pratchet, //Neverwhere//, //Coraline//, //The Wolves In The Wall// and many many more :)

      He is way more interesting than I am so visit his personal website complete with almost daily blog updates at [|www.neilgaiman.com] - this is where I spend the lion's share of my internet time. Bound to be of use to any literature student, or to anyone interested in contemporary arts and culture, the site (and especially the blog), contains up to date information and discussions concerning current issues and events in literature, culture, and politics. Expect to encounter posts and links about anything from high profile copyright and censorship disputes to obscure and alternative stage productions of Shakespearean plays.
