-:Update:-

Warning: Long journal for once!

Greetings one and all! How's it going? Hmm, I wonder how many actually read this... Anyways! I'm bored at work cause I've nothing to do so I thought I might as well do my journal And shock horror! I'm doing a tagged that I was tagged by! Hehe, I still have ones from like a year or so ago buried somewhere in my hard drive. I'll try digging them up sometime if I can find them!

Righto, so not much news from the US at the moment. I went to 6 Flags yesterday and it was so much fun! We're so going back there to the water park sometime

Drawing update: There is none... I'm doodling all over the place as I usually do but there's nothing really worth putting up here, hehe. I might be getting photoshop soon so will have to see what that's like

I WANT TO COSPLAY SO BAD!!!!!!!!!! I've been looking at cosplay stuff and I've such a craving to cosplay right now, but I can't! One, because all my cosplays are at home (I would so be able to get some cool cosplay photos around where I'm staying!). Two, because I don't have the materials or equipment to make a new one right now *pots* Yes I am potting I'm making a list of characters I want to cosplay If I were to make a new one, which out of this list would you think I should do (I put links so pics of them in case you don't know what they look like):

1. Names that you've been called by. (Including nicknames.)
Okies, so there's Susan (duh), Sue, Suie, Suzie, Sues, Sues-Hannah, Hannah, any other variations of Susan that you can think of, Ashla, Ash, bitch (hehe, my loving family! It's like a common name for us and used in fun terms, not in a nasty way I love my family!), and... There are others but I can't think of them, hehe. That's enough for now!

2. Your birthday Day/Month. Your horoscope and Chinese sign.
The day is the 14th of July when a monstrosity was born into this world, born with hardly no fear and a high sense for impulsive actions (muha! ). This creature is of the Cancer sign (me's a crab ^^) and the Chinese sign of the Tiger (I have to stop talking like a 2 year old when I type, I don't talk like that!... Most of the time, ha!)

3. School/Job.
Well I'm going to college (going into my final year in September, scary! Unless I do a Masters, then it's my second last year ^^) but right now I'm on work placement in the US in Boston Enjoying it, but I miss my friends and family so much at the moment!!! Family is coming over this week, YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! You have no idea how thrilled I am about this!!!! My family might because I think they are feeling the same WHOOP WHOOP!

4. Any hobbies/things that you do during free time?
I wanted to take up roller blading but when looking at them the other day I became unsure and didn't get them after I think it's just because I would like someone to go 'blading with. Oh well! I like to doodle, but I don't get to as much as I used to. I like to listen to music, and surf the net talking to people Emailing friends and/or family is a popular time burner for me!

5. What's your Most favorite character, and from which show (or game)?
Well that's a given if you know me Kai Hiwatari from Beyblade!!! Everyone has their dream guy, and Kai is mine ^^

6. Why do you like him/her that much?
Do you need a reason for love? Hehe, well I like lots about him. For one I can imagine he would be a damn hottie in real life (I have a good imagination ^^), his voice is num! (Yay David Reale!) and apart from looks and such, I like his personality. I'm very much a girl who likes a Good Bad Boy (a bad boy that won't be mean, if that makes sense?) and Kai suits that role perfectly. He's determined and hard working, which I have actually turned to admire a lot during times when I've been finding stuff hard. I know the characters aren't real, I'm not that disillusioned (doesn't stop me wishing!), but the way that he keeps going and gets stronger even though he is beaten down and had such a hard life is really admirable. Even though he doesn't always show it, he does care for his friends (I think so anyway) and wouldn't let anything really bad happen to them. I could go on but you are bored at this point I'm sure! Hehe.

7. Say 5 things you:
~Love about yourself.
Hmm... Going to be boring and take *Bayleef-'s answer of being Irish And I love the fact I'm a country girl and not a townie or a city dweller! Don't get me wrong, I don't think there's anything wrong with being from the town/city, but for me I need my fields and trees ^^ Less concrete the better for me!
I guess I like how I'm very easy going, though that can be a problem sometimes Getting walked on isn't fun! I don't get mad/annoyed/bored easily (so if I'm annoyed/mad you know something is really really wrong!)

~Hate about yourself.
I can be too stubborn sometimes Sometimes I wish I was more outgoing, but I make myself other times and I still love my life so I'm not going it all wrong! I have great friends and everything, so I guess the lack of all-the-time-outgoing-ness isn't such a bad thing ^^ Oh my laziness is something I hate, I can be so lazy too often! And procrastinating is a hobby of mine I could do with changing, hehe. *looks at blank word document that is supposed to be a report due in a few weeks* Pah...

8. What is the worst nightmare you ever had?
Reading *Bayleef-'s answer to this one reminded me of one I hated... I was fighting with my dad, as in serious fighting, and if anyone knows me they know I'm really close to my dad and I never fight, so that really upset me. Woke up bawling crying, it was horrid!!! Pah, I'm such a softie, just remembering it now is making me teary eyed

9. Tell us a situation you've been through and you really felt scared (not a movie or something like that) a REAL situation.
... Erm... I can't think of anything... I'm very hard to scare, and if I do get scared of anything I can't remember it at all... I guess the only thing I can think of is when we're driving and someone cuts in front of us or something. Anything to do with almost crashing (even if there's no chance of it) makes my stomach sick to my feet, so I guess that's the closest thing you're going to get from me *ponders* Surely I've been scared some time... I really can't think of anything...

10. What kind of a person you think you are? (Describe appearance and personality)
Alright, appearance first! I'm about 5 foot 4 (almost 5 foot 5 with a lot of sleep! Hehe) brunette, who isn't butt-ugly, but isn't stunning, hehe. I'll do! I don't hate my looks so that's good I guess, hehe.
Personality wise, I guess I'm a nice enough people. That's what I've been told anyways so going by that, hehe. I don't like saying things about myself that are good, makes me feel vain, so I don't like these types of questions I'm easy going as I said before, and I usually put others before me (there's a few times when I'd really like something I go first, hehe, not often though), don't get angry easy... Yeah I'm just repeating the answer to an above question

11. Do you have any kind of physical and/or psychological problems? If so, tell us more about it.
Erm... Me totally sane...

12. How's your relationship with your family?
The best there could be!!! My parents are the best you could ask for, they know where to draw the line but they gave us so much open ground (safe open ground) that we could have done almost anything we wanted, but because of that we didn't! Talk about perfect parenting huh? I have a wonderful older brother that I am so so so proud of, and I hope to have a lovely family like he has when I find my significant other ^^ And I have 3 younger sisters who are the best sisters anybody could ask for! I am also very proud of my sisters, they are all great! All my siblings are loving, caring, would do anything for you, and would be there for you at the drop of a hat. My parents are the same Can I paint a more perfect picture here?
Now don't get me wrong, like *Bayleef- said we're not the Brady Bunch (Don't want to be like that!!!), we all have our little squabbles now and again, but even those are few and far between. We just get on really well We're all best friends! And we love to annoy the heck out of each other, but we all give as good as we take, hehe. If you hear screaming in our house, it's usually just someone in a tickle war! And my personal favourite, I am known in the house for poking people, so don't turn your back!
Bottom line, I love my family!

13. Tell 6 interesting/funny facts about yourself or a situation happened to you.
Ack I'm bad at these ones! I'm not interesting Hehe.
- Okies so lately I've noticed I've got a habit of touching the back of my hand or my watch when I pass someone in the halls or when I'm talking to someone I'm not very familiar with. No idea where it came from! I try stopping myself but I am doing it before I even know
- I was in the defense forces for a number of years (didn't do any fighting or anything, not trained enough for that, but I have fired a machine gun or two ^^)
- I didn't get my first kiss until I was 19 (Ack I know I'm a late bloomer, but heck, I don't care! It was goooood )
- I'm not scared of anything that I can think of. Like ok if a lion was running at me I would be scared, and I'd be scared if someone I knew was in an accident, but as for things I'm scared of, nout. I love snakes, like/don't mind most bugs (except earwigs, they are just gross. Praying mantis is the coolest bug ever!), dogs, cats, mice, birds, and so on! I'm not scared of water, fire, thunder, lighting, in fact I love all of that. Yet to find something I'm scared of.
- I can't stand things to do with eyeballs... The idea of someone gouging out someone's eye creeps me out! I can't even put eyeliner on, hehe. I mean if there was an eyeball in front of me, that wouldn't creep me out as much (even though I don't want to know how an eyeball would be in front of me in the first place!) but it's when it's in someone/something's socket and something is stabbing it or what not, NO THANKS! Laser eye surgery is so out of the question *shudder* Lucky I don't need it
- I can't argue at all. I just start crying, even if I am really really mad It's kind of embarrassing really, hehe. I can have very quit fights if need be, but if I needed to stand there and fight with someone for a while, nope, I'd be in tears, even if I was winning the argument! That's probably why I don't fight, haha!
Oh, I managed to get 6 Whoop whoop!

14. What is your WORST fear?
Yeah same as *Bayleef-, the death of my family and/or friends. If anyone is in trouble, I would hate it. The worst thing is when my brother was in an accident years ago, I was so scared for him. He's all good though, but at the time it was scary.

15. If you can make ONE wish come true, what would it be?
Can I be stereotypical and say no more war and hunger? So many are killed through fighting... Too many.
And if I had to pick a wish for myself, it would be to be able to fly! With wings, that's more fun ^^

16. What is your favorite:- (two points at most)
- Food: Ohh hard one... Strawberry Cheesecake!!! Haven't had it in ages...
- Male singer: Not sure... I like bands more than single singers, and there are too many bands to pick
- Female singer: See above. Although I'm not much for most female singers. I like rock music more and there's not many girl rockers
- Dessert: Strawberry Cheesecake again! Or ice cream
- Ice-cream: Same as *Bayleef-, Vanilla or Vienette, tooooo good!
- Artist: Oh I don't know... Too many to pick!
- Band: Ack I can't pick! Hmm... I think I would have to say Simple Plan though. Loooove their music so much!
- Drink: I like me tea! I'm trying to be healthy by drinking more water It be good for you!
- Show/Animation: BEYBLADE!!! All the way!
- Character (second fav): Oh that's a tough one... It's varying between Naruto and Yuusei at the moment!
- Site: DA ^^ And gmail.com for my emails, narutofan.com for my anime, and amecon.org for the con!

17. Last question: Ask 1 to 3 questions to the readers, and the commenters MUST answer them in their comments.
Oh interesting...
- Which would you prefer: To be able to fly with wings, or to be able to fly like superman?
- What's your favourite mythical creature?
- Left foot or right foot?

Wow that's a long one for me! Hope you're not too bored! I still have nothing to do in work... Hehe.

Tag: Anyone who wants to do this, because I don't know if enough people will read this, ha! Screw the rule I have a little money! Muhaha!
