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” series) and my favourite series are “Dragonkeeper”, “The Roman Mysteries” and “His Dark Materials”. I also like the “Narnia” series. I also enjoy mystery novels (I am a "Sherlock Holmes" fan). I am a fan Steven King’s books (why do the films suck so bad compared to the books?). Finally, my favourite single books (books not in a series) are “The Lovely Bones” and “The Paperbag Princess”.
I have also read the “AIR”, “KANON”, “School Days”, “Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni” and “Umineko No Naku Koro Ni” Sound Novels.
I enjoy the works of William Shakespeare. My favourite plays are “Twelfth Night” and “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 about the brevity of life, and if you are doing as much as you can with life.
Another play I like is “Gregory’s Girl”.

My favourite TV shows are "Doctor Who" (my favourite Doctors are the First, Fourth, Eighth and Tenth. I did not like the Ninth though. My favourite companions are Susan Foreman, Jamie, Leela, Sarah Jane Smith, Ace, Rose Tyler, and Amy Pond), “Torchwood” (why did everyone except Gwen have to die?!), “Merlin” (My favourite episodes are “The Poisoned Chalice”, “The Moment of Truth”, “The Lady of the lake”, “A Servant of Two Masters”, and “Lamia”. I can forget the anachronisms, it being based on a legend. My favourite characters are Guinevere, Merlin, and Morgana. Why did Morgana have to turn evil?), “Leonardo” (for me, it has the same appeal as “Merlin”, even if the anachronisms range from niggling to downright unforgivable, such as there being no Duke until 1532, and it and was Piero's great-grandson, Alessandro de' Medici, as the Medicis had been de facto rulers of Florence since 1434. Despite this, my favourite character is Lisa/Tomaso. I just love Girl-Masquerading-As-Boy characters), "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", “The Big Bang Theory”, “How I Met Your Mother”, “Cold Case”, and any nature shows featuring David Attenborough or Bill Oddie. I also like watching documentaries.

My favourite Manga are "Card Captor Sakura" (It was the first manga I read and it will always be my very favourite no matter what. I prefer the manga to the anime and movies, but they are still OK), "Sailor Moon" (Ami Mizuno is my favourite character out of the whole of the series), “Black Lagoon”, (Fabiola, Roberta and Gretel are my favourite characters), “Claymore” (one of few feminism-friend shonen), "Elfen Lied", “Soul Eater”, “The Rose of Versailles”, “Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan”, “Absolute Boyfriend”, "Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles", “Chobits”, “Barefoot Gen” and “Cutey Honey” (notable for being one of the first Shonen series to feature a female as the main character).

My favourite Anime are "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" (Yuki Nagato is my favourite character. I love her. She is smart and badass! What could be better?) "Sailor Moon", “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”, “Seirei No Moribito” (This is the kind of stories I love, the rare ones with a female main character fiercely and truth protecting a male character, and it is made even better with a feminine boy which makes it even better ^_^. I hope to find the novel series on which it was based) "AIR", "KANON", “Paranoia Agent” (May Satoshi Kon R.I.P. He was one of the greatest minds in anime), and “Cutey Honey”.

As well as these, I am also partial to the following, which are manga unless otherwise indicated. "Fullmetal Alchemist" (Though I have some sexism-related issues regarding the original manga), “Zettai Karen Children” manga (“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 when she is wearing her glasses, and has a similar personality to me, which is why she is my favourite character), “Jigoku Shoujo” (the 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” (I like both the manga and the anime equally. 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 amusing, comedic one. Aiko is my favourite character. As you see I am a fan of Meganekko characters ^_^).

My favourite films are “Pan’s Labyrinth”, “V for Vendetta”, “Mulan” (the live-action version. I just love stories where a girl disguises herself and enters a male-dominant profession, or situation, and unknown to the men, proves that woman can do it as good as men. The revel and shock of the men is always good too), Tim Burton‘s version of “Alice in Wonderland” (I love how Alice’s is an Action Girl and that her suit of armour is actually a suit of armour and not a chain mail bikini or some sexist, revealing rubbish like that). As for film series, I love “Kill Bill” (A woman getting revenge with a katana and martial arts with NOT wearing revealing clothing? Great!), the “Pirates of the Caribbean”, the “Nightmare on Elm Street” film series.
In addiction, I am a fan of the films by Satoshi Kon, my favourites being “Tokyo Godfathers” and “Paprika” (which was the inspiration for “Inception”).
The final anime films I love are “Metropolis” (It is one of my very favourites, even if the ending did sadden me. The manga, although much different, is good too, but I do not know which I prefer. The two robotic characters are very different in the film and manga), “Voices of a Distant Star” (A wonderful, emotional film, with a great gender-reversal of ‘I will wait for you’, which I hate when the female is waiting), “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” and "Blood: The Last Vampire".

I also enjoy playing video games, though I see nothing special with being female and a game player. My favourite are “Final Fantasy” and “Kingdom Hearts” (even though it is quite sexist at points), the “Portal” series and the “Spyro the Dragon” series (I particularly like the “Legend of Spyro” trilogy). I also causally play the “Super Mario”, “Legend of Zelda”, “Kirby”, and “Sonic the Hedgehog” series.

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, Miranda (she is the 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 being 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.
