This is a new thing we're doing where we give a specific member a thread for a week in which they can share whatever information they want about themselves, then answer whatever questions the public asks them. It's sort of an expansion on the "Let's get to know each other" thread by, well, giving one member the spotlight. More information on the concept can be found here.
This week's participant is [member=9487]Cab[/member], who has elected to share the following information:
Feel free to ask whatever you'd like. This thread will be up for approximately a week before we move onto our next participant.
This week's participant is [member=9487]Cab[/member], who has elected to share the following information:
Family: Divorced parents whom I suspect are mad. My Mum told me they had divorced over a dinner with my whole school welcoming her to China. An older sister and 2 kids who I try to avoid cos there's a lotta bad blood between us.
Sexuality: Bisexual, mostly lesbian. It changes depending on my needs and the people I meet
Employment: Teacher extraordinaire of English as a Foreign and Second Language. I'm teaching online atm in Britain, but started in China, then Indonesia, Italy, London, Martinique, Cardiff and now online. Also studying a masters in TEFL, due to finish this Sept - I'm kinda proud of this cos I got no degree, it's my first time in uni and so far I've survived
Metaphysical views: Atheist. 100% Go shake your witch doctor bone elsewhere. After one lifetime I need to put my feet up, eternity sounds like a nice break.
Political alignment: I want to say liberal but this is meaning something very different these days. I'm all about the state working together to give everyone a fair shot. I reckon that riches should be capped cos srsly, how much money does a person need?! Sooo, socialist? A lazy one no doubt! And I'm a big ol hippy so any kind of green agenda is cool by me.
Goals in life: Jeez I dunno! Mostly trying to stay sane and have a good time.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a cowboy, but then I did long distance horse riding, which got that out my system.
When I got older I wanted to be a musician and famous and shit, then I was in Indonesia.
Then I wanted to have my own school, did that for a bit in the Caribbean with a friend and did it online with a co-op of teachers. I also took a franchise of 4 schools in Indonesia to a franchise of 6 and did the whole corporate manager thing for a bit
Life goals are overrated; right now I'm working towards getting my PHD in a couple of years for lulz and opening my own online school, my way etc. so I can work from home. Beyond that I'd quite like to do a parachute jump, but fear I lack the cahoonies. Oh I'd also quite like to write a book or something.
I would really really like to meet someone and lavish all my love on them, but that's complicated eh.
Miscellaneous:
- Excessive tea drinker
- Lazy ass harmonica player
- Recently confirmed diagnosis of bipolar, been 2 years gettin that and still working towards stability.
- Left home at 16/17 but didn't go to uni, I went to Edinburgh at 18 and worked in the sex industry for about 4 years (after that I went to China to teach)
- Have bounced on and off drugs and various addictions, mostly cocaine. But that's all long in the past now.
- I'm good with horses, grew up on a farm.
- I've had many accidents, broke my back, broke my arms 5 times, wrecked the ligaments in my knee, scars, burns, bruises etc I currently have a bruise on my leg from fighting a wheelbarrow - I won.
- I go to London a lot mostly to go ballroom dancing and muck about with my best mate.
- This all makes my life seem a lot more interesting than it really is.
- I'm shit with money and negotiating a good deal for myself at work
- I'm allergic to coffee, gluten & dairy. Also possibly jelly fish.
So yeah, come at me people.
Feel free to ask whatever you'd like. This thread will be up for approximately a week before we move onto our next participant.
