It's been about five months since I last made a post here, so I figure I might as well take another stab at it. XD
Basics: I'm Suzanne, I'm twenty, and I reside in Scotland. I'm a youth worker but I'm currently scrambling for more work; I just recently got back from ten weeks doing charity work in Malaysia with Raleigh International. I'm currently trying to get into Edinburgh or St Andrew's university to do something politics or philosophy related.
It's probably safe to say there will be a lot of travel-talk in my journal for a while. ;)
I'm a bit of a fangirl and I have no illusions about how lame I can be. I have a worrying tendency to fall in love with characters who are either spoiled brats or childish sociopaths - I'm not quite sure what's behind that. My boyfriend claims that's why I'm with him, and I haven't quite unravelled that, either.
I do a lot of theatre-related stuff and I'm trying to get my lazy self back into photography. I was an RPer - Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons and Dragons, mostly, as well as a few online things - but I've fallen out of the habit. I'm just discovering anime: Samurai Champloo, Bleach, Death Note, Ouran Host Club. I adore Invader Zim and Firefly, oldskool Transformers, and a few films have my devotion (Battle Royale, Advent Children and the utter cheese of Sin City, not to mention LotR and both Transformers movies). Beyond that, I'm more a books-and-comics sort of person.
Robin Hobb and Ursula Le Guin are my current heroes, bookwise. I love the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and most of Jhonen Vasquez's stuff. I tend to re-read Lord of the Rings fairly regularly. I'm steadily working my way through Lovecraft - easier said than done, since I'm a wimp.
I live on my own; until about a year ago I was carer for my younger brother, as we are Tragic Orphans. I'm getting to the stage where I'm occasionally compelled to joke about this. I promise I don't do it to be offensive. (I'm also a teenager young woman with an online journal, so inevitably there will be bouts of Angst every now and then. I'll try to keep it to a minimum.)
I have the terrible habits of starting all my paragraphs with 'I' and not knowing when to shut up. So I shall do that now. Add me! :)
