| Introduction | Uh... I'm “sweet sixteen”. Sounds much more "unique" than it actually is. Ginger hair, about six foot and eight stone, self-detrimental, very geeky, very dark/sick humoured. Probably the biggest fan of Chuck in Wales, possibly Star Wars too! Hobbies also include stalking, pouncing, and pounding. In that order. Honestly, I've no idea what to write. Being geeky doesn't help in the "company department", but I can't say I've been looking, or wanting. I enjoy taking solace in my music and Chuck - both of which have been on a continued increase recently. Although I might argue there isn't much emotion or morals in me anyway, I like to think I stick to the few I have pretty strongly. I love solitude. Mostly keep to myself – in school, the awesome teacher, Mr. Matthews, lets me stay in his room and during breaks, so that I can read or have a fun, decent conversation. At home, as much as I may want to, I can't. Finally, I've had many names over the years. Mostly the usual "insults" relating usually to my hair or hobbies, but I have also had some awesome names, such as "Qui Tom" (my first "positive" nickname too) from the awesomeness that is Laurawr! |
| Interests | I’m really not a sports fan at all myself, but I did do Taekwon-Do for the full 2008 year and Kickboxing for the last half of 2008 and, although with a different (but much better) group, the first five months of 2009. I love to run and race others, or even just go for a walk with friends or with my music, although I need to find a pair of good quality, long lasting earphones as I have none of my own presently. Thinking more game-wise, I love to play Chess and Checkers, or, thinking video games, any of Bioware’s games, Lionhead’s and Dragon Ball Z, Silent Hill and Star Wars games... Amongst many others. I might not always seem it, but I feel I’m pretty easygoing: Leave me to do my own thing, I won’t get in your way and we’ll both be happy. Anyway, I love talking to people, although I tired of reality-TV talk quickly. Anything on my page are big things in making me happy. I love staying up late just as much as I love a good sleep! Drinking Dr. Pepper always brings a smile to my face. Playing video games and listening to music helps me to relieve stress and is a good “Me Time”. If I ever do get angry or upset, I usually try and hide it by just keeping quiet, so as not to spread the feeling around or draw attention... But silence from me is unusual and so doesn’t actually hide anything. If I am in one of those moods, I often try (and succeed) to find something quick to help me get back on track, usually meaning listening to music if possible, or, if not, a “diary entry” on my mobile or reading old conversations on Bebo or on my phone as I find comfort in my memories in these times. |
| Favorite Movies | As with films, many things influence my favourite TV programmes, and it’s for that reason that my favourite TV programme is Chuck. It's a feel-good comedy about a really kind-hearted nerd thrown into the life of a spy... only problem is he's not got a clue on how to be one. The relationships are once again great and full of love, loyalty and humour. Their use of music is one of the best I’ve seen, sometimes using well known, world famous artists; other times using ones that very few have even heard of... Let alone heard! There are many other TV shows I love to watch, but mostly it’s sci-fi programmes, US dramas like 24, Lost and Heroes, Lie to Me and comedies... Particularly sitcoms like Scrubs, Frasier and Fawlty Towers. I’m also a huge fan of comedy quizzes like Have I Got News for You, QI and Mock the Week. I feel that Malcolm in the Middle, Jonathan Creek, Dragon Ball/ Z/ GT, Firefly, Extras, Doctor Who and Life on Mars/ Ashes to Ashes deserves their space too! Choosing my favourite of film isn’t just the plot, it could be the acting, the music (very important to me), certain quotes or themes in the film.... But it could also be how it made me feel or the experience I had watching it, like with All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. Anyway, my favourite film is Star Wars (III and IV especially), mostly because of the epic duels, character relationship (Anakin’s are the best), the spectacular quotes and the powerful music. My favourite comedy is Little Miss Sunshine and my favourite action movie is Equilibrium, as it has Welsh-born Christian Bale and is better than the similar Matrix series. Favourite Actors = Ewan McGregor, Daniel Craig, Sean Bean, Christian Bale, Tim Roth, Edward Norton, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Robert Downey Jr, Tom Hanks and Zachary Quinto. |
| Favorite Music | Right... Music is a very big part of my life. My first few years of experience were listening to songs from the 80s and 90s, but that soon extended to 60s and 70s..... Really, the only music that I don’t like is R’n’B, rap and the other genres similar, and I don’t listen to many female singers at all, except Dido. But, my favourite band is The Killers and I’ve wrote a story on those, which you can find on Bebo if you go looking, and there’s a blog here stating my “history” with the band. Scrubs and Chuck (mostly) are big sources for me finding new music and a fair deal of my iPod selection are from those programmes or music I’ve found because of the show, although not featured in them. I’m also a big fan of Snow Patrol, Meat Loaf, Stereophonics, Nickelback and Gomez. There are a few bands and singers that have been recommended to me by friends, and I thank them for them, like Blink-182, Scouting for Girls, The Wombats, Paolo Nutini, Razorlight, Cute is What We Aim for and MGMT. |
| Favorite Books | I love reading, but I don't do enough of it as I get all my books from the library's limited selection. Any Star Wars book/comic but Shadow Hunter, Death Star and Darth Bane are my favourite SW books. Charlie Higson's Young Bond books are great (especially Silverfin, Double or Die and By Royal Command) and I'm a fan of the Harry Potter series, which originally got me into reading, . My favourites probably being The Prisoner of Azkaban and Deathly Hallows. But, my favourite author (excluding Drew) has to be Anthony Horowitz. Any of his books are great but I do read the Alex Rider and Power of 5 books religiously. Currently reading, "Sacred Stone", by Clive Cussler - my introduction to his works, and I'm loving it. Also recently finished, "Things the Grandchildren Should Know", the autobiography by Eels frontman, Mark Oliver Everett (Mr. E), another awesome read! |

(Quotes instead) "It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it." "Perhaps Revan never fell. The difference between a fall and a sacrifice is sometimes difficult, perhaps, he became the dark lord out of necessity, to prevent a greater evil." - Kreia, KotOR II: The Sith Lords
