Describe your perfect Durham night out.
A bottle of Buckfast with friends before heading to the Dun Cow on a Wednesday night to have a few Castle Edens with more Hockey friends. I play hockey, by the way, and it’s kind of a big deal. After the Dun Cow swing past Boathouse to complete the night charging around Loveshack.
Best chat up line?
Apparently there’s a pants party where you can be in your pants and it’s kind of a party and your invited, so long as you fill in the required paperwork and are accompanied by a consenting adult. (It’s catchy, don’t you think?)
Most embarrassing moment?
Well, after a lovely Wednesday evening (as I outlined earlier), I found myself on all fours, COMPLETELY naked chunning out my bedroom window. With all my housemates simply standing and watching. Followed in close second by this one time… wait for it… I was on my way to Jimmies and my friend pointed out that my hair was a bit out of place and not perfect as normal – and, would you believe it, he was right. Wow I’m blushing just thinking about it, but I swiftly resolved the issue.
What does a girl have to do to impress you?
Be stranger than me. Harder than you’d think. But boring is, well, boring.
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
Buckfast and David Attenborough (He’s pretty old, right?)
If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be?
A shark (lol). But no, I think a meerkat would suit me.
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
I always succeed.
Any last comments for all the Durham girlies out there?
This interview doesn’t actually reflect anything about my personality – I act up to mask my deep insecurities. My mommy says I’m nice person.
