Hello Everyone... I'm Jay from England! I teach Functional Skills English, Maths and ICT in a college on the South coast :) I'll also be doing some short adult courses on computer related topics at a nearby college... I live in a small town called Pulborough which isn't too far away from London or Brighton... I don't drive but I'm planning to learn over the next few months! I live with my boyfriend Yuriy, our two cats Charlie and Mimu and our chinchilla Leela! We're going to New York on August 31st for 8 nights :p It will be my first trip to America so I'm quite excited...

Some of my favourite bands/artists are the rolling stones, james brown, amy winehouse, swervy world, garbage and bob marley :) i also love infected mushroom. we've seen them once in london but we'll also be seeing them again at the electric zoo festival in new york soon! :) yay

i try to go to the cinema every week so i love a lot of films but some of my faves are: inglourious basterds, nightmare before xmas, true grit, moon, senna and hedwig and the angry inch! :)

i love drawing and i keep a doodle/craft/anything goes journal! :)

i recently got into origami after my mum sent me a zombigami book :p

i like baking but don't do it often... i also got a zombie cupcakes book though so i think i'll be doing more soon :)

i like making atcs, dotees and other things i wouldn't have known about if it weren't for swapbot!
