Emily England

ME
Born 1994. Daughter, sister, vegan, engineer, obsessive loose-tea-from-a-pot-with-oat-milk drinker, feminist (but more importantly not a genderist), happy blend of ethnicities. I like beauty, creativity, equality, meticulousness, my family and all things round.

BELIEFS
With the risk of sounding cheesy, I believe in the equality and harmony of all living creatures. The current political situation in Europe (the increase of open racism and homophobia) depresses me, but technological, environmentally efficient innovations as well as entrepreneurship helping the less fortunate inspire me to keep going.

INTERESTS
Crafting, creating and DIY. Dancing (unprettily), mostly in the privacy of my own home. Some may think TV-series and films are interests of mine, when in reality they are but my favourite sources of escapism—flooding my brain with inspiration. That is why I only watch pretty series with vibrant colours, and sometimes even romcoms will do. Breaking Bad does nothing for me.
I am passionate about making savings—environmental as well as economical. Discounts, offers and coupons put my mathematical mind to work.

PHYSIQUE
I am not deliberately thin. Maintaining a healthy (high enough) weight number is, for me, a constant battle—though I suspect this condition will soon pass. FYI—my chest size has an immediate connection to my mental well-being. It has always been tiny, but when I am low I sometimes stop eating, and in two days—POOF!—all traces of boobs are gone.

SEXUALITY
Whatever. Sexual.

GIFT PREFERENCES
Don't buy me flowers, chocolate or jewellery. Flowers make me feel worthless as they always die on me. Chocolate I can mostly not eat, being vegan. Jewellery is just nothing I value. Expensive gifts, or rather just gifts and surprises in general, cause me more stress than they do joy. Don't buy me anything. What I appreciate is time and effort.

FAQ
» So you're from England. Is that why your name is England?
This question has me speechless every time. I don't know why my name is England (I even ask myself sometimes).
