Dina Murphy

Sabotaging since 11 Nov 2010

Dina has just turned thirty, and will admit to having a self-implosion around that time. She is pathetically lacking in drive and motivation, but is good at miming to the ‘Dreamgirls’ soundtrack with an empty can of Ellnet. The dream, of course, is to be a successful writer. The reality is that she will probably always just be offensive and get escorted out of cafes; but, as John Merrick once said, ‘all attention is good attention’. At least, that’s what it sounded like. In reality, it was probably something more like, ‘Let me out of this cage and stop poking me with twigs’. So, you know, someone should probably pull The New Penguin Dictionary of Quotations on that one..
