My Interests |
|
| I'm fascinated by the way language is used to communicate and am studying the impact of music on the language that young people are using. In particular, the development of "Estuary English" and how white youth are speaking with Jamaican accents in this area. Please let me know if you come across any new slang terms. | |
I'd like to meet:I won't know who I'd like to meet until I meet them but I've been lucky enough to meet some pretty amazing people in the past.I do not want to meet people that just want to add me as a friend to boost numbers. I am also quite happy on my own and am not looking for a lifelong partner so please don't contact me if you're just looking for female company.I would like to meet people that love reggae and ska and would like to share concert info or music. |
