Hello there, my name is...


...Robyn, and this is my lovely, brand-spanking new blog to write write about whatever I like. Click the follow button, I promise some witty posts and the odd aesthetically pleasing picture or two.

I'll be 21 next week and I study history of art and psychology in University College Dublin. When I'm not studying (which is more often than I should be, considering my lecturers love to give lengthy presentations with minimal slides) I enjoy reading a myriad of fashion blogs and general fashiony things, some of which I'll introduce you to in my next post.

I love musical theatre and am always getting involved in various amateur and semi professional productions. I like to draw as well, but unfortunately my priorities are rather mixed up, so I never have time for that and the last time I drew something that wasn't a doodle could have been over a year ago.

I like music- all different kinds. Music my parents played in the house when I small, music I discover myself and think I'm ridiculously cool for finding something underground, then I do further research and realise many people have found them and felt the same way as me... so many, in fact, that it's not really underground at all. Queen is a firm favourite though, and I'm partial to the odd bit of Kate Bush, Earth Wind and Fire, Kasabian... the list grows and changes everyday. I'm currently loving F.E.A.R. by Ian Browne, former Stone Roses frontman.

I have a boyfriend. He's two and a little bit years older than me and he's very very tall and athletic and clever and handsome in a rogueish way. He often looks cross but that's just the way his face falls. He's been my boyfriend since January 2009, we met on Camden Street in early December 2008 at night, outside a chip van. Highly romantic. That's a story for another post. I think we look funny together- little and large; I'm a diminutive five foot two and he towers over me by sixteen inches. Nice height for head-on-chest-resting, though.

I love love love art. Some art related posts are promised. Reminders welcome if necessary. I take regular trips to museums and galleries around Dublin, normally on my own, and for a combination of reasons- to think in peace and quiet with attractive visuals, for leisure, learning support, and just for something to do.

I work part time in a cinema. We won't talk about that. Pays the hypothetical bills but I'd rather be unemployed and have all the money I needed to buy Burberry Prosrum platform sandals. I don't think any student loves their part time job, though.

It's Sunday now- enjoy the roast.
