Bio







.Beyond this road, running on far and long, must surely be something we can believe in.

This is Kate's journal. Thank you for stumbling upon it. I am 18 (and these days, taking full advantage of that fact) and less than 2 weeks away from starting university in Aberdeen (which is very much a cold place). Studying Law- and I still don't know why I chose it. I had better figure it out soon. I'm kinda worried about moving away (and being unable to afford food and the like)- but then again, sometimes I catch myself dancing about in circles, throwing my hands in the air and whooping in glee to be leaving this town. It varies, depending on how much caffeine I've had that day. Or sleep I got the night before.

Physical description: Green (ish) eyes and brown (ish) curly hair, with freckles and glasses. A little bit tall for a girl (I know a LOT of short girls), but still the shortest in my family. I have three younger sisters. It is no surprise that I've always wanted an older brother. I also have a kitten (who is now two and a deadly assassin, but she'll always be 6 weeks old and adorably pathetic to me) who belongs all to me, and I love her more than anything- including our other cat and dog (to the point where I am considering smuggling her to the Highlands with me...). I will never love another living thing like I did my dog Spike.

(I really like animals- sometimes more than people... Strangely though, fish freak me out. It's the eyes...)

I have a sort of extreme personality. I did finally remember that Hardy quote, but it doesn't quite fit any more. I can be quiet and reserved, but then again, I can be unable to shut up (though this isn't as regular). I am bit of a daydreamer. I procrastinate far too much for my own good (really, it's just an excuse to be lazy). I worry about the littlest things, and drown out the big. I can talk to strangers on different continents and time-zones but not to people I know, face to face. I don't usually sleep enough (right now, as I write this, it's 2.30am, but what else is there to do?). I can be often random and/or ramble-y (again, depending on sleep and/or caffeine. The two go hand in hand).

Oh, and I can't spell worth a damn. It is something that still needs to be kept in mind.

Despite this, I write fan fics. I don't write them often- usually during exams (not a single fan fic this summer- but I want to get something up before I leave) and I don't write them well. But- even if they're not always published- I do write them. Which I’m kinda proud of, hence the pimping. You may just see one pop up here from time to time, but it's unusual.

I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy. As is probably frightfully obvious due to a) the username (a combination of VII and The Age of the Five series), b) the majority of my userpics and c) the huge picture of Yuna above this. But stating the obvious is always fun. I love FFX best, because that's where I started and went mad over the series. Plus I'm addicted to Tidus's pretty face (I never did get over my 13 year old crush on him. I was actually given his necklace, as a tribute to this, and wear it most days). FFVIII is a close second- even though I think I prefer the characters of VIII (apart from Yuna, who is really screwed up, but I still idolised her in my childhood and still do- I mean, her twirly skirt and sleeves are so pretty- and Rikku, who would be the best character in the whole series if Square hadn’t messed her up in X-2 with the thong. But still, I love Squall. And Seifer. And Laguna. And possibly Irvine... That game was full of hotties.

And moving on before I use the word ‘hotties’ again... Shudder.)

I used to love FFVII and I think I still do, but I'm a little pissed off at all the spin-offs (just leave it alone, Square...). If I could wrestle my game off the friend who borrowed it (and still hasn't played it but won't give it back, even after a year) and play it again, I'm sure I could rekindle the love.

(Oh Cloud, why can't we go back to the "Let's mosey" days...)

I can't wait for FFIV to come out on DS- I really want to see Edge in good animation, because he should be hot... And Rydia- becuase she's pretty and I love her, but also because EDGE AND RYDIA SHOULD BE TOGETHER AT THE END OF THAT GAME!!! I'm also trying not to care about FFIV: The After- because I really want to play this game but chances of it being released in the UK are zip and my chances of having a phone able to support it if it is released here are lower...

(The chances of it being any good at all, what with it's being a sequel produced by Squenix, and with a main character called "Ceodore" are even lower though, so I'm kinda reassurred that I won't be missing much.)

I'm also sorta a Twilight fan (for reasons I was never able to convey) - but we'll step away from that topic after the travesty of Breaking Dawn. Still really like the first three books (IF I overlook the last book and how it screwed over the characters I had previously grown to love), but even I have to admit how flawed they are.

(Still really want to write for Leah, though. And ship her with Jacob, just to shove it in cannon faces. Screw you, Renesmee!)

I also love Trudi Canavan and all her works (my Mairae/Rian fan fictions- one of which has the potential to be of epic proportions- may end up here, simply because I have nowhere else to put them). Her The Magician's Guild is competing with Jane Eyre and To Kill a Mockingbird as my favourite book.

(That sounds a little sacrilegious on the literary front...)

I love all the kiddies animes (my favourite is still Cardcaptor Sakura, which, at the age of 18, is getting to be a little embarrassing to admit. Much like my Disney obsession). I love Shakespeare and poetry and Studio Ghibli. I fell for the Harry Potter series way before I knew it was popular- he got me through Primary school. I was made to read A Farewell To Arms by Hemingway in school- and after finishing it, I started comparing it to Tank Girl- Oddessy. The comic book won. By a lot.

(Actually that's not fair. I'm kinda coming around to Hemingway. A tad. Pretty much because I aced the exam on him.)

(Oh, and I AM Jet Girl. But, ssh, it's a secret, don't tell anyone.)

I love music and sing too loudly and badly, but I rarely care. I WILL learn to play piano before I shuffle off this moral coil. I write lyrics on everything (including me). They help me to think (or just to procrastinate. Who knows which?). I don't dance (with anyone watching) and I can't walk without wobbling or falling over or tripping. I've bitten my nails since birth and it can't be stopped now (no matter how many New Year's resolutions I make)... I love the rain (way more than the sun) and long walks and the two seem to go hand in hand together perfectly. Heights and enclosed spaces are what I fear. I love vampires and magic and I wish they could be real. I devour mythology and think they have a better idea of what gods should be like. I'm still Christian but sometimes, I think it's all a farce. But the message is good. It's just the enforcement I can't stand (that and politics...).

So- anyway, new people are always welcome. I’m always up for making new friends- so long as we share some interests. Presently, I am not f-locked. I doubt this will change any time soon.

...

Rally-ho!

(And yay- I mastered (ish) the html code and got a new profile all in one fell swoop. Not bad for a night's work... Now I need some coffee...)


.Like someone said one day before: the answer is in the wind.
