Calypso Tells All

Don’t tell Clems but I adore eating Jelly Babies even though she thinks they look like her little brother Sebastian (believe me I have seen him and they DON’T). I also love Battenberg cake, Hawaiian pizza and I don’t care how fantastically chavie everyone thinks it is, I love it!!!

Oh and I also like all things ethnic and retro. I love shopping on Portobello Road on a Friday in break now that my folks are renting a house here for a bit. Like all public school girls – that’s English for boarding school by the way – I love doing the KR. Because my schools so near Windsor I like sneaking off there on the weekend to meet up with Eades boys. I love animals, although thinks I'm a bigget about the animals I love. She thinks getting soppy over cute cudly animals like rabbits is tres tragic, but I can't help it if snakes and lizards don't fill me with that same fuzzy fealing!

I also love nuns because they are all old and tiny and sweet and feed us Battenberg cake and think everything we do is “simply lovely” – well the ones at Saint Augustine’s do anyway.

Apart from that I am a typical teenager, I obsess about boys, I love downloading songs from my mate’s Ipods and finding new ways to kill spots – that’s pimples for us Americans.

My favourite hobby lately is prank calling famous boys (like film stars and boys band stars that go to English Public Schools like Eades or anywhere really). I call one of their mates and have them call me back, and they actually DO! I always give myself an ordinary name like Sarah and tell them I met them at some film premier or a house party my parents held in the summer. Star times me to see how long I can keep them talking. You'd be surprised how long a boy can enjoy talking about himself to a random stranger. The nuns are totally right, God really did put boys on the earth for a laugh. Thanks guys!

Origin of my name?

My mad rentals called me Calypso basically because they wanted my childhood to be a character building nightmare. Calypso as a name is Greek in origin and means, "She who hides."

In Greek mythology, Calypso is a nymph who beguiled Odysseus for seven years.

In music it is also a West Indian style of extemporaneous singing.
