About me

I'm auburn blonde
I'm five ft 8"
36dd size 12/14
I don't know what I weigh (slim)
I'm apolitical
I'm a writer
I'm an artist
I'm a thinker, too deep
I'm a caperer, too light
I don't fall in love easily
I'm not a cynic
I don't write poems
Science over cynical speculation
Two degrees: Economics then Joint Honours Psychology and Modern Languages
I've travelled heaps
My childhood was devided between Oxford and the South of France
I lived in France, in Aix en Provence, for eight years, age 21 to 28
I've spent almost as much time in Italy
I have a boy, Jake, a Celtic redhead, who I had as a gymslip Mum, age eighteen
My Dad's a genie, Special Operations Executive
I'm perceptive
I'm frustrated when I'm held back
I'm a social creature
Loneliness distresses me
I hate cheap shots
Kindness is important to me
Pisces
I give myself until I'm taken advantage of ( Doesn't always happen)
If I'm taken advantage of I don't forgive (Pied Piper mentality)
I can do childrens stories
My mother's a celt
My Dad's ancestry are all old thirty-third Degree Freemasons
We're from London ( four generations back)
I live in North Oxford
I grew up in North Oxford
I need aesthetically beautiful surroundings, I wilt in a tule
Dad, Mum and me, we were like Kings and Queens
When my little brother (who I now love) was born I suggested he should be reported and a relacement ordered
I love Walter Sickert and Oscar Wilde, and can see all the critics' unpardonable blunders
I have a golden laugh apparently, but not as much as my boy's; his is amazing
Manon des Sources is my favourite film
There's also In the Name of The Father, The Godfather sequels, Girl with a Pearl Earring and others, Vanilla Sky, all sorts...
I cry very little, I don't think I ever collapse and cry
I fight my own battles
My little boy can 'do' voices, he can even deceive me on the phone, he has an off the graph acting talent, it seems to be a chance combination of Greg and me combined; we can't 'do voices'
When Jake and I were little, we told each other fairy tales
I travelled alone on an enormous Jumbo Jet age seven, 'JAL' same initials as my brother
I dumped my first boyfriends. The first dumpee stood there weeping. The second stormed off in a huff, the third drove off in a rage and I stopped taking any notice after that
I weep for people who've been lost, it touches me
My second boyfriend told me 'Strange Little Girl' was about me, I don't think it is
I have the gift of happiness, supposedly
I hardly see my mother, she does nothing but betray me. Love her though.
I once was terrified of flying, 'till the captain asked me to take over the plane onetime. (Fab! they had to haul me of the seat when it was time to land)
I had a superb childhood
My Dadda's dying, who will I laugh at the clueless with?

I drink (wine mostly)
I love melody
Couldn't live without music
I'm happiest when doing my research
I hate injustice and political posturing
No to posturing
No to plagiarism
I've been victim of alot of vendettas
Love the Telegraph, hate the Guardian
Never smoke
Drugs likewise, don't do 'em
At school I won all the art prizes, the day before I'd stay up all night, first real secret I kept from my parents
English lovers are rare in my life
Whole stream of French and Italian lovers, (almost) lost count
I 've only had one abusive lover, a manipulating narcissist psychopath, so selfish it was unbelievable. The rest were just lovely, highly recommended
I love celtic dittys, folklore
Justice and fair revenge are important to me, I can never pretend I'm happy without scores being justly settled
I don't look for love. Serendipity is essential
I'm creative, so I often need to stop and refuel, get afew days solitude. I love this, I need it, and I see it as productive, creative solitude, not isolation
I love horses, God saw to them, they're not shaped as if they came about by chance
I want a little girl
I speak fluent English, French and Italian
I've cried for more than one man
I've cried for friends
I need the undiscovered, the unsolved
I've climbed the Alps
I want to see the wonders with someone who loves me; the seven wonders
My first real lover, friend and significant experience was Bernard, a French Italian I met in the South of France, I was twenty three
I hope I'll see the tropics with 'the one'
I think in reality 'the one' comes round about three times in life, you have to watch how you go
I deplore the baby boom generation, especially the women
My grandma was a best friend, so was grandpa, very special people
They considered me a genius, sweeties
I can travel alone, and often do; I'm efficient. Travel only with a soulmate or alone
I haven't lost my sensitivity
I'm often a peacemaker
I'm a Pisces, I need peace
Occasionally I'll fight if bored, due to some serious unresolved hurtful situations (I never got my revenge) thankfully it's rare
I can be my own worst enemy
I need to see Ireland
Italy calls me all the time, I should go yet again
I'm old Catholic, I don't practice, but I am at home in Rome
University verdict: 'wonderful moments'
I've burned over thirty saucepans
I've been ruthlessly attacked by competitive researchers who're not up to the mark ( I told 'em so)
One jealous half sister who's always plotting
Murder casework doesn't worry me, I just see the lives of the lost. I'm curious at how people get worked up or freak out
I seem to have a gift for helping the lost
I love silk stockings
Expensive underwear's a must
I streak my hair blonde, it's blonder in summer anyways
Gold suits me best
I tan easy but it's always a tad pink, I rarely go deep brown
My son is better than me in every way, I dont understand how I made him
I hate coarseness, yobbo culture, it has no justification, it's alot of noise
Give me little girls
I don't forgive a man who finds he doesn't love me, why should I? No we cannnot be friends you ..
I'm a sun worshipper, happy in summer, wary in winter
I'm a clothes horse, people open their eyes wide a wide at the sight and size of my wardrobe
I admit to comfort shopping
I'm happy in the sunlight with just a pen and a piece of paper, and nothing to my name
People call me the enigmatic fjl, as I write this I'm starting to understand it
Nosey parkers really annoy me; if you want to get to know me don't come snooping in like an elephant moseying about
Be intuitive
My boy is living with me at the moment we get on well. Curiously he's very straightforward, there's nothing enigmatic about him
Jesus loves me
