Bio

Reading Between the Lines

This is the Story of My Life

Yesterday’s a memory,
Another page of history,
You sell yourself on hopes and dreams
That leaves you feeling sideways.
Tripping over my own feet,
Trying to walk to my own beat,
Another car out on the street trying to find the Highway
Yeah, Are you going my way?

This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday.
I know it isn’t black and white
And it’s anything but grey.
I know that no I’m not alright, but I feel ok cause
Anything can, everything can happen
That’s the story of my life

20 Random Facts About Erin Giles
(by Erin Giles)

1. My journal title is Read Between the Lines because sometimes 'Silence speaks louder than words' and since I'm an English student I have learnt to read between the lines and sometimes it is the things left unsaid that matter more.

2. Before my psuedo name became Erin Giles it used to be Akilah Doyle. I changed it because I used to get people e-mailing me and asking me which part of India I was from. Bizzare but true.

3. No matter how many times I watch Braveheart I will always cry when William Wallace shouts Freedom at the end of the film, and just when I'm getting over that bit, the final quote makes me sob. What can I say, I'm a patriot. "In the Year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland - starving and outnumbered - charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets; they fought like Scotsmen, and won their freedom."

4. I am completely and utterly addicted to tea. My philosophy on life being that tea solves all life's problems.

5. I am convinced that the world will end on a Wednesday and have been since I was in school. I have also recently decided that the cause of the end of the world will be all the people with the surname Jones as I live in Wales and there are no other surnames here.

6. I have developed an unhealthy obsession with Torchwood's character Ianto Jones who will henceforth be refered to as Woobie in varying degrees of hysteria and nothing more.

7. I wear slash goggles; deal with it! And no I will not be removing them anytime soon no matter which fandom I am in.

8. I will never tire of telling the story about when I ran into Billy Boyd in a bar and didn't realise who he was until ten minutes after I'd flirted shamelessly with him.

9. Likewise, I will never tire of the story when I met both John Barrowman and Gareth David-Lloyd and had no clue who they were but remember thinking, "He's funny and cute!" on both counts, because I will always be kicking myself for those missed opportunities to fangirl.

10. I cannot pronouce the word awkward properly, and no I will not say it repeatedly just because you ask me to.

11. If any of the main characters die in a TV show I like it is know as a Joss. Why? Because Joss is God! (and he kills EVERYONE!)

12. By the time I'm thirty (ten years from now) I plan to have visited every country in Europe, so far I've lived in Scotland, England, Wales and the USA (yes I know that's not in Europe), and have visited France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Ireland, Greece, Italy & Malta. (I think I need to get travelling more)

13. I once stuck a banana sticker in my ear just to see if it would fit.

14. I did an Electronic Engineering Degree for a year before I changed to English Lit. What the hell was I thinking?!

15. I am obsessed with musicals and it's all John Barrowman's fault!

16. I (not so) secretly think that my mother had an affair with Anthony Stewart Head when she was younger and he's actually my real Dad. (I've been told we're the spitting image of each other)

17. I post books I've read to friends who I think will like them because I feel sad if the book isn't read by more than one person. I am a MASSIVE lit!geek.

18. I can't watch films or read books and take them at face value. I ALWAYS have to over-analyse them.

19. 'When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me,' Jenny Joesph's Warning is one of my great aims in life.

20. I know more Welsh than I do Gaelic, which is slightly wrong considering I'm from Scotland and have only been living in Wales for just over a year.
