About Me

Before I begin I wanted to explain that the name of my blog stems from the idea of a group of pandas making a cake, if that wasn't obvious. Apparently in my train of thought somewhere this was amusing. I mean they have huge paws and no thumbs so I guess cracking an egg would be funny to see. Right? Also in this name I have cleverly disguised the word pancake, which happens to be my favourite food. Coincidence? I think not.

Anyway, my names Abigail but please call me Abbie. I don't really know where to begin with about me but here goes. Currently I am a first year studying Game art design at De Montford University. I spent the majority of my life growing up in Dudley, in Birmingham however have not acquired the accent. Score one for me. Since the age of 16 I have lived in Cornwall and Essex. Although I don't mind the amount of moving around I've done the past 3 years, I feel I'm never in one place long enough get comfortable. Hopefully though I can spend my next 3 years here in Leicester.

Drawing is something I have always done since I can remember and I know that a lot of people say that. Academically I had several options to persue but I always knew that I wanted to be an 'Artist' for a living. Some of my earliest memories as a child were playing games with my dad, little did I know the impact this would have on my future. That which was a child pass time became a full time hobby for me. Sometimes I'l admit, this was bordering on 'addiction' but I'm sure I'm not the only one. When I started looking at colleges and universities it was only then I realized that I could potentially design games for a living. In my mind it just made sense. I still love games and you could probably talk to me for hours (if you were bored enough) about them but now, as I'm older, I put the brakes on my game time quite a lot in order to take my future seriously.

Okay wait, I'm sorry. It was getting a little intense there wasn't it? Usually I would spam Gif's at this point because who does not wan't to see a cat that is dressed up as a shark, on top of a remote controlled device, chasing a duck around the kitchen? Or maybe that just my sense of humor... So a little more about myself and then you can erase you ever read this and go get that food you left in the oven and forgot about. (I keep doing that).

Just some quick general knowledge about me;

I'm an incredibly shy in person around people I don't know. It's my second week here and I haven't really melded into a group yet probably because of that. If I'm fixated on something I could be there for hours, honestly. Throughout my time at Cornwall I did a lot of outdoor sports which I love such as surfing, rock climbing and horse riding. It is probably notable that I collect Disney? each to their own. It is also probably notable that I'm writing this at 5am...

On that note, I shall go to bed. Thanks for reading and see you around.
