I'm just quickly going to re-introduce myself, partially because I'm rather bored, partially because to say my old intro sucked is doing it a huge favour, and lastly because I have changed quite a lot since then, and since I'm still young I will continue to develop and change quite quickly; taste-wise and intelligence-wise. Yay me.
So, the ubiquitous questions.
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I go to school and plan on going to university to study architecture; hopefully in either Glasgow or Cambridge. I love art, especially the Surrealist and Ukiyo-e movements. I also like architecture, obviously. My favourite artists would have to be Dali, Chirico, Hokusai and Hiroshige. I also enjoy physics, especially the astro variety and DIY-ing clothing.
2. Where are you from?
I live in Cumbria, in North Western England at the moment. However my birth place and 'home' would have to be the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, North Western Scotland. I seem to have a thing for the North West of places... It's nothing personal.
3. Who is your favourite author?
I used to read much more than I do now, which needs to be changed. However, I love all Agatha Christie books, Sophie's World, A Brief History of Time, Lord of the Rings, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Subtle Knife, the rather cliche Dracula and Danny Wallace's books. A little off topic, but I hate War and Peace, I spent a whole fucking term when I was 9 reading that, it's shit, and bloody boring.
4. What are your favourite films?
Hmm, difficult question:
Donnie Darko
The Dark Knight
Hero
House of Flying Daggers
Memoirs of a Geisha
Curse of the Golden Flower
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
The Matrix trilogy
Pirates of the Caribbean
Edward Scissorhands
A Clockwork Orange
Sweeney Todd
And finally, for completely brainless entertainment, Jackass.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I have no idea at present. Since I'm still pretty young maybe some awesome ones will be written before I get hitched.
6. At your funeral?
J.S. Bach's Toccata, or Mozart's Lacrimosa. Or maybe something totally unsuitable, the Numa Numa song anybody?
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
What has gothic got to do with death? Ech, well, I suppose happily after a long life with my friends and family. To achieve a bit of notoriety might be good too.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
This is a stupid question. I'm dead, I don't care. Not only am I dead, it's only in public sight for about an hour.
However, I would rather like an 8ft marble angel statue topping a tomb containing my rotting carcass. People in hundreds of year's time will wander past it and say 'Wow, I wonder who that is? They must've been great!'
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
I like most of my clothes, and if I don't I edit them, so I don't really have one.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Hm, this sounds really self-pitiful but I miss being happy and living with all my family.
11. What's your favourite band?
I tend to change favourites quite quickly, but, some of the gothic-ish bands I like are:
The Cruxshadows
Cinema Strange
Bauhaus
Sisters of Mercy
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Sopor Aeternus
Voltaire
The Cure
Joy Division
London After Midnight
I also have a love/hate thing with The Dresden Dolls - I love their music but I hate, HATE, Amanda Palmer's voice.
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I go to School and am studying A-level Art, Physics, Maths, Economics, Business Studies and General Studies. With, as previously mentioned, intentions of doing Architecture.
13. Why did you join?
Since I was an ass when I joined way back, it was probably solely for the whinging thread.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
I'm female. Bit of a tomboy - still female though.
There, that wasn't too quick, but damn I'm worth your time!
