My name is Nicola.
I'm Catholic - please don't stereotype because you probably know nothing.
I love reading.
I'm opinionated.
I would love to play the drums!
I resent people in the pursuit of popularity, I think it's shallow.
I also have trouble finding the right adjectives to describe...stuff.
Talk to me people, I love making friends. I don't bite. Much.
Err, I like Dashboard Confessional, Bloc Party, BOYZ II MEN! Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Muse, Evanescence, Funeral For A Friend, Weird Al, Papa Roach, Paramore, Flyleaf, P Square, Rage Against the Machine, Santana and SYSTEM OF A DOWN! Three Days Grace, TLC, Three Doors Down a lil bit, Blink 182, JUANES! And other stuff but yeah...
No Diggity - Blackstreet
This Is How We Do It - Montel Jordan
Umm, I love DEXTER and apparently I have a fetish for serial killers and apparently I have no feelings (which is not true). Heheh.
Grey's Anatomy is good too. Oh and Private Practice (spin off from Grey's Anatomy). I love medical programmes.
Okkay...
I like anime and manga. It's a hobby of mine. No, actually, it used to be but I love reminiscing and talking about it now. My favourites have got to be:
Death Note, Black Cat, Prince of Tennis! Fruits Basket, DNangel, HANA KIMI, Nobuta wo Produce, Full House, Hana Yori Dango, Cat Street

Gail Giles is very very good. Read her work.
As is Kevin Brooks.
And Anthony Horowitz.
Read the Outsiders.
I'm not very committed. I get addicted to things easily but I grow tired of them just as fast. I do that with characters. I change my mind as time passes. Like I use to like Edward, then I didn't and then I liked Jake and then he was being a pisshead and obsessively in love with Bella so now I hate both of them.
Oh and now I hate Twilight. Oh when I was young and naive... _
Stephenie Meyers isn't really special, her characters are E-M-P-T-Y and she describes Edward so excessively that it makes him NOT REAL (or basically unrealistic). Remember teenage fangirls, he is NOT REAL and vampires are NOT REAL and if they were real, they would be ripping your heads off and sucking your guts out - to quote the frubes advert - and NOT falling in love with you. Must every nightmare be romanticised these days... Can't deny that it (sometimes!) makes for good reading though.
To all you educated readers who will listen, try reading it again and you'll see that it's not particulary well written and lacks substance. But to give Stephenie Meyers credit, she's good at making up stories and she did give every teenage girl her potential (hypothetical) wet dream.
Man, I'm in a bad mood.
And oh no, no, no, I just dedicated a section of this to Twilight. I feel like crying.
QUOTES!
"Microsoft could shit in a box, and most people would buy it."
"THE HELL..? IS 5 AM...GO THE HELL TO BED... IN TROUBLE YOU ARE...SPEECH MY SLURRED IS"
"I like stalked this girl sorta :D
like once she asked me for a ride home from work
and i took her home... i dropped her off at her house
and shes like... wait a minute..how did you know where i lived?"
"It is true. i'd rather watch a progress bar than have sex."
"Why is it that, no matter how much you pee into the toilet it never fills up?"
"Because we're english, we should pronounce jay z as 'jay zed' shouldn't we?"
P.S. I don't do chain mail and copy and paste stuff simply because I'm a lazy bum. Haha! Nah, I really am. I can't be bothered.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - the fear of long words. :)
ALSO, A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE.
A lot of people need to observe this before I lose my mind.
YOUR means it belongs to 'you'
YOU'RE is an abbreviated version of 'you are'
THEIR means it belongs to 'them'
THEY'RE is an abbreviated version of 'they are'
And please take care to not mix up THEN and THAN...
And for goodness sake, PUT APOSTROPHES IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
They are useful, useful part of grammar but only when used PROPERLY.
Eurgghhhh.
