Facts

» I like collecting things, I love just searching out potential new collections: books, DVDs, CDs, ornaments, charms... it goes on.

» I'm a political fanatic. I even used to own a website called Politiks.

» I'm addicted to country music both new and old. I really hate it when people today say country music is all about farming and tractors, most of them have never listened to it.

» I've read loads of books and recently opened a book review site called The Book Geek. I receive advance review copies of books from publishers to post on my blog and promote, I'm the kind of person who can never have too many books - at the moment I have a bookcase and a suitcase, both of which are crammed full of books I have to read.

» My parents called me Emily after my Mum's Grandma and my middle name, May, is from my Dad's Grandma.

» I graduated from St Wilfrid's High School in the Summer of 2008 and then joined the Sixth Form studying English Literature, History, Maths and Psychology. In year 13, I dropped Maths to take Philosophy and Ethics. I am now studying politics and philosophy at university.

» I have dreams about one day being the Prime Minister. I have many beliefs and ideas about what I would do.

» I have at some point took lessons for the Recorder, Piano and Violin. Eventually I realised that musical instruments were not my thing. But I really wish I could play guitar.

Of all my exes, not a single one has been anything other than a Leo or an Aries. James Marsters is a Leo .

» I am an atheist. For me, it doesn't matter if there's a god or not, religion is an unnecessary evil.
