Hi, my name is

My current culture obsessions:

Alternating between earning my inheritance in Blue Prince and surviving the adorable chill of Winter Burrow
Chugging a probably concerning amount of Earl Grey hot cocoa because I was #influenced
Opera Egg at Opera North in Leeds. Watch and ye shall be changed
Arguing with friends over what will and what should get nominated/win this awards szn
