NAME: Frankie (short for Francesca)

NATIONALITY: Lots all squished into one big mush. My family's originally Portuguese but I live in England and don't speak Portuguese,so my writing is all English spelling, English idioms, etc.

FAVOURITE MUSIC: Rock, especially Three Days Grace, Trapt, Finch, Smile Empty Soul and Brand New

FAVOURITE BOOKS: TROY, Adele Geras; DARK IS RISING SEQUENCE, Susan Cooper; THE OWL SERVICE, Alan Garner; THE SONG OF TROY, Colleen McCullough; the Homeric Epics; the Mabinogion

FAVOURITE FILMS: Indiana Jones; Troy; LOTR; Bridget Jones

OTHER LIKES: Mythology generally, esp. Greek and Welsh; riding; karate; dogs; rugby union, watching, not playing; Jonny Wilkinson; Shane Williams; Hugh Dancy

DISLIKES: Loads of stuff. I do NOT like football(soccer), any members of any english political party, people pronouncing my surname wrong (it's hardly difficult...at least I don't ask for the portugeuse pronounciation of it), people pronouncing any word from any language incorrectly (I have issues, OK!)...and now what began as a vaguely sensible bio is now me having a bit of a rant. Like I said, I have issues with...just about everything.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH: "More of your conversation would infect my brain." Don't ask.
