All About Me
Firstly, I am interested in many things.

I greatly enjoy reading, especially tales of magical worlds/fantasy/adventure (such as the “Harry Potter” and “Eragon” series) and my favourite series is “His Dark Materials”). I also really like and mystery novels (I am a "Sherlock Holmes" fan, and have read almost every Holmes story. There is just a few I cannot get a hold of. I am good at figuring out the case in question along with Holmes, if you understand what I mean). I also like Steven King’s books (why do the films suck so bad compared to the books?). I have also read the “AIR”, “KANON”, “School Days”, “Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni” and “Umineko No Naku Koro Ni” (can’t wait for EP7) Sound Novels. I enjoy the works of William Shakespeare. My favourite play is “As You Like It” but my favourite quote is from the famous tragedy play "Macbeth":

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death.

Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury

Signifying nothing." -Macbeth, Act V, Scene V, Lines 19-28

I like this quote as it make you think the brevity of life, and if you are doing as much as you can with life.

My favourite TV shows are "Doctor Who" (my favourite Doctors are the First, Fourth and Tenth. I did not like the Ninth though. My favourite companions are Rose Tyler, Sarah Jane Smith, Susan Foreman, who is the Doctor's granddaughter, and Amy Pond. I hated Donna, she was annoying), “Torchwood” (why did everyone except Gwen have to die?!), "Being Human", "Lip Service" (Instant favourite!), "The Simpsons", "Futrurama", "Family Guy", (like Meg, I am the black sheep of my family and wear glasses), "American Dad", “Cold Case”, and any nature shows featuring David Attenborough. I also like watching documentaries.

I also like playing video games. I like to play “Super Mario”, “Legend of Zelda”, “Kaabii (Kirby)”, “Final Fantasy” (especially, I love it) “Kingdom Hearts” (like the same as FF series, anything make by Square Enix formally Squaresoft is awesome!), “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Spyro the Dragon” games.

My favourite Manga are "Card Captor Sakura" (I prefer the manga to the anime and movies but the anime and movies are still ok), "Sailor Moon" (Ami Mizuno is my favourite character out of the whole of the series), "Elfen Lied", “Black Lagoon” (Poor Gretel…I would have been fine with Hansel dying, if only Gretel had lived. Gretel and Fabiola are my favourite characters), “Soul Eater”, “Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan”, “Absolute Boyfriend”, "Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles", “Chobits” and “Barefoot Gen”.

My favourite Anime are "Sailor Moon", "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" (Yuki Nagato is my favourite character, I love her! Smart and badass! What could be better?) "AIR", "KANON", “Paranoia Agent” (may Satoshi Kon R.I.P. You were one of the greatest minds in anime), and “Cutey Honey” (notable for being one of the first female characters to star in a Shonen series as the main character).

As well as these, I am also partial to: "Fullmetal Alchemist" (Though I have some sexism-related issues), “Zettai Karen Children” (“Soul Eater” and “Zettai Karen Children” are the two of the VERY few Shonen series I know of which have female main protagonists/leads), “Zombie-Loan” (one of the many anime adaptations “Xebec” failed on) “Maho Sensei Negima” (Chisame Hasegawa resembles me A LOT when she is wearing her glasses, and has a similar personality to me, which is why she is my favourite character. Yet another of Xebec’s failed anime adaptations), “Jigoku Shoujo” (anime, as it came first. The character I think most deserved to go to Hell was Meiko Shimono. What a complete and utter monster she was), “Tokyo Mew Mew” (Lettuce Midorikawa is my favourite character) and “Renkin san-Kyuu Magical Pokaan” (sometimes I need to aside my from my usual, plot-driven manga/anime, in favour of a more amazing, comedic one. Aiko is my favourite character As you see I am a fan of Meganekko characters ^_^).

My favourite films are anything from the much-loved “Studio Ghibli” my very favourites being “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” (simply brilliant and the very first independent “Studio Ghibli” film) “Spirited Away,” Grave of the Fireflies" (such a heart-wrenching and powerful anti-war film) "Kiki's Delivery Service", and “Princess Mononoke” (San is one of the best females in anime!). In addition, I am of the films by Satoshi Kon, my favourites being “Tokyo Godfathers” and “Paprika” (which was the inspiration for “Inception”). I also love "Blood: The Last Vampire", “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”, “Metropolis” (the anime film), the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films series, the “Nightmare on Elm Street” film series, “V for Vendetta” and Tim Burton‘s version of “Alice in Wonderland”.

I love comedians/comedic game shows. My favourite comedians/funny men/funny woman are Frankie Boyle (he is a legend) Russell Howard (brilliant), Michael McIntyre, Jo Brand, Gina Yashere, (best female comedian there is) and Russell Brand.

I like History and Religious Studies. I am also interested in Politics.

I hate Fascists, Racists, Homophobes, Sectarians, Sexists, people who think its ok to hunt animals, people who do not respect animals. I, unlike most people I have met, care about the environment and really like animals, and I believe they deserve the same respect and treatment humans have, and believe killing them or using them for human benefit is wrong, as pets, fine, but not in work, unless it is for the benefit of the animal.

I despise the Military (especially the British and American ones, as they are the worst of the lot. I mean it is THEIR and the GOVERNMENT’S fault we are getting attacked, NOT the other countries. THE ARMIES and GOVERMENT decided to invade for no good reason).

I do not like the British Royal Family.

I do not consider myself British; I am Scottish. Finally, I am fiercely anti-war and I want world peace.

My Favourite Quotes:
"Our revenge will be the laughter of our children." - Bobby Sands

"There can never be peace in Ireland until the foreign, oppressive British presence is removed, leaving all the Irish people as a unit to control their own affairs and determine their own destinies as a sovereign people, free in mind and body, separate and distinct physically, culturally and economically." - Bobby Sands

"Freedom can be gained only at the point of an IRA rifle, and I apologize to no one for saying that we support the freedom fighters of the IRA." - Martin McGuinness

“With my heart full of gratitude for everything good in the world, I'll put down my pen. Now excuse me, I have to go." - Satoshi Kon (his very last words, at the end of the very last message, speaking of his cancer, he left for his beloved fans. I am one of them. Such a shame he will never see his final film complete).

"If Harry Potter is so magical, why can't he cure his own eyesight and get laid?" - Frankie Boyle

"War is Society's failure to perform its most important duty: protect its innocent."
