This is why nobody talks to you, you testy cow! You\u2019re just so\u2026 fucking awkward! Why can\u2019t you just accept help like everybody else?<strong>&#8216;<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><em><strong>Bio &#8211;<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>I was born in Salo, Finland, to a caring biological mother and a brutal serial criminal father. I was taken away from my homeland when I was six by my father and his girlfriend. My mother left for another man, allegedly, though I wouldn&#8217;t blame her if she did.<\/p><p>I&#8217;m asocial,\u00a0emotionally deplete, self-obsessed, morose, private, sarcastic, anti-theist, lazy, glossophobic, with a superior attitude. But those are my good points. I&#8217;m also focused,\u00a0organized, incisive, methodical and a good detective. Oh,\u00a0 and I look young for my age, not that many would class me as a classic Nordic beauty. I probably wouldn&#8217;t win a beauty contest if I was the only contestant. My beauty is inward, my outward features being simple, functional, undemanding, yet distinctive &#8211; cascading coal-black hair cropped more-or-less horizontally above my eyebrows and across the small of my back in what is considered Goth style.<\/p><p>I&#8217;m not a Goth. Kohl and grey eyeshadow emphasise my eyes, my only cosmetic vices, apart from a layer of matt cerise lippy. The rest is as nature intended &#8211; an ironing-board chest and a svelte frame wrapped in deathly pale skin. No jewellery to distract from the vision of chromatic austerity. If I get stares, it&#8217;s because I bewitch. Oh, I&#8217;m told I have a high opinion of myself. They might be right, but what&#8217;s wrong with that?<\/p><p>Thirty-two, 1.65 metres tall in my holed woollen socks. I buy my clothes from charity shops. Fashion is a waste of precious resources.<\/p><p>A reclusive stone laithe, erected in 1784 on White Moor, beneath The Nab, is where I live.
