hehe!

never been referred to as "
sister" before, but it feels sooo right!
*hugs* 
with such a warm welcome from you all, this place feels like home already - so thank you!

@V M:
*CZZT* message received and understood Ma'm
*salutes* (basically: don't be a douche, right?

)
Sooo errrrm... I guess you'd all like to know a bit about me (the *REAL* me

), right?

Well first of all you've probably noticed I use emotes like punctuation marks!

That's actually pretty much how I see them - they convey emotion in text (thus "emoticons" or "emotes"), which is an essential part of communication.. arguably even more important than the text itself in many cases

Some people I know *HATE* emotes and think they should be banned, but I think the opposite and they should be compulsory because they are so important... besides: they're just sooo damn *cute*!

Next thing you'll probably notice: I've got a pretty sunny personality

That's true even when I'm wearing my "guy mask", although it's obviously a little more tempered but still

I've always believed that - in life - when things go wrong you have two choices: you can either laugh or you can cry, and I don't like crying so..

Right now of course (in case you didn't gather already lol!

) I'm on a bit of a high due to this whole revelation and from finding somewhere when I can *FIIIIINALLY* (socially) be the real me and not feel like I have to put the guy mask on! (I'm talking about this place, obviously!

). Once that high wears off and the terror of the challenges that lay ahead of me finally come into focus, I'm sure I'll calm down, and that's probably when I'm going to need you all the most.
*hugs* 
I don't get depressed very easily, very often or for very long, but when I do it hits me damn hard

Eeerm, age? Lol sure, why not?

I'm 27 - will be 28 in January (Capricorn and proud!

... well, borderline Aquarius but still..

). Lol I know I know, a real girl shouldn't reveal her true age and all that, but honestly I actually *LIKE* this age (27 is a good number

).
Music-wise I'm very much a rock chick

Not a fan of "Screamo" or "Death Metal" or anything like that (there was a time where I thought that kinda stuff was "ok" in small doses, but not so much these days), but I am very much into Future Synth Pop and EBM. If you're not sure what that is (I know there's a large diversity of ages and backgrounds here) then the best way for me to describe it is it's like Dance music for rockers lol

Right now "Big City Lullaby" by Ayria is my favouritest track (by my favouritest artist) *EVER* if you want to get an idea

(not sure if linking to music vids on Youtube is ok?). Also been listening to a lot of Dubstep lately too because that's actually not a world away and there's just something about that genre that always makes me want to bounce about!
Film/TV etc: Basically a sci-fi fan. Love Startrek (but not Starwars: Jean-Luc Picard >> Luke Skywalker any day!), Stargate (even Universe which everyone apparently hated for some weird reason..

), Firefly (dur! who doesn't these days?

), Farscape (really underrated series) and all those sorts of things

Also dabble in a bit of fantasy occasionally - I love Lord of the Rings and looking forward to the rest of the Hobbit trilogy, and currently can't contain my excitement at getting Game of Thrones Season 3 on DVD soon(ish)!

(
Side note: Daenerys Targaryen is by far my favourite character and when I took one of those daft "which GoT character are you?" online quizzes I got her! Looool! Hiiiiint muuuuuch??
Side note 2: Tyrion Lannister is my second favourite just because he's so awesomely hilarious!
)
Erm... lol perhaps I'd better leave it there.. again I don't want to wall-o-text you all to death especially when you've all been so lovely to me already!

If there's anything specific any of you want to know about me then pleeeeease feel free to ask! Seriously I don't bite (unless I'm being playful but even then it's just a nibble I promise!

).
Love you all
