The 378
Life is a journey, but it seems that everyone is constantly looking for the guidebook. Trouble is, there isn't one; there's just millions of different stories of how others muddle their way through and end up some place happy. The 378 is a story of the life, love and dirty laundry of a girl filled with ambition and fear in equal amounts. This is my take on sex, relationships, (and yes, they are two different things!) ambition, dreams, bad times and equal rights.

The Human ConditionI have a deep love for all things HUMAN. Social and Cultural Anthropology, Ancient History, Forensics, Religion, Spirituality, Psychology, Sociology and their influence on the modern world has fascinated me from a very young age. Having wished many times that I could go back to university and do degrees in all of the above, this blog provides me with an outlet for my beloved nerdyness, and I'd like to bring you along with me.

Fiery Rockets

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my loyal followers. It's amazing to get this many views on a blog that is just about my life. However, feeling the need for a change, I have now moved to another site, under a different name, Fiery Rockets - www.fieryrockets.wordpress.com

This new vlogging site is for show tours, tattoos, travelling the world and all things performance, and the first video is below. I will still be posting Fiery Rocket videos here, as well as some Broken Rose stuff, so stay tuned if you prefer to stick with one blog site.

Much love.
