Lady Godiva |
Legends say that Lady Godiva was told by her husband that he would lower the people's taxes the day she rode through the street naked. So that is what she did. For feminism, for freedom, for equality. My name is Shirin and I am 18 and from England. Sadly I am not Lady Godiva and nor do I have her confidence nor bravery. But I believe in equality and freedom for all. I believe women should be able to be who they want and do what they wish in the same way that men can. I believe life is wonderful despite its flaws and you should find happiness where you can in everything. I'm not usually so serious - I like an array of nerdy things including like old school video games, new school video games, old 80s movies like Back to the Future and feel good movies like The Goonies. I also like spacey stuff, maths and science jokes. I’m a fan of loads of stuff, but follow me if you particularly if you like: • David Tennant • Doctor Who • Harry Potter • Glee • Chris Colfer • Robert Downey Junior • Iron Man • The Avengers • Miranda Hart • Ellen Degeneres • Whole bunch of other stuff - just ask :) I'm also a mahoosive fan of "old" stuff like classical authors and am quite interested in History in general (although not political history - that sucks...) My favourite song in the world is Dreams by Van Halen and if you have even heard of this song let me know – I love it... Tumblr is where I vent everything. Click on the Tree Hugger link at the top of the page to see my face :) Feel free talk to me I’m perfectly friendly but otherwise you, dear follower, are the receiver of the thoughts and feelings of a teenager. Lucky you eh? |
love this book.
and this movie.
random knowledge.
did you know that Nell Harper Lee author of To Kill a Mocking Bird and Truman Capote author of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s were best childhood friends. She even wrote Capote into the book as the character Dill. she also helped Capote in his research during his writing of In Cold Blood, because the local towns people refused to talk to him because he was openly gay.
love both authors.
