Okay lets get things first :D
If im not welcomed to post here, please lock or delete the thread. Im just not sure if this is only a place for Aeons' members to introduce themselves, or for all forum members.
Carrying on...
Hi guys, my name is Val and I dont think I've ever eaten a fish before.
(Sad joke #1 - get used to them).
Im a 19 year old male and I currently live in a lil country at the bottom of the world named Australia. Im proud to be Aussie because there really isnt a better place to live and im thankful that I live here.
Life story time :D
Okay so well, I was born in Lebanon, which is this (now not being sarcastic) little country located in the middle east (the Asian part). I moved to Australia with my family when I was four and have since then only been back once when I was seven for a 2 month holiday.
Two weeks ago, today, I completed my first year of university so thats pretty cool :D. Im studying Animation and Games Design at a respected university (my state uni) and I couldnt love it any more. Its everything Ive always wanted to do, and comes with perks like video production and web design. The course is six years long, but once thats completed, Id have two advanced diplomas and two degree's in my field. Ill then be going on (hopefully) to either get my masters, but if not, then Id like to get into a career job by then.
Okay well my dream job is a little farfetched, but its sure something Ive tried to do for quite some time, since I was practically a baby lol. Disney has and always will be a major part of me, so thats practically my life goal; to work for Disney :D. Simple, eh? Whether it be to own a Disney Store, or someone at one of the Disneylands, or off course, an actual animator, Ill be the happiest person on earth. Basically so I can truthfully say "Hi im Val and I work at Disney..." xD
But yeah my CURRENT part time job is a checkout chick (im a dude by the way, which reminds me, I should put that at the very top XD) at Coles, which is a massive super market retailer here in Australia, and I love working there. I choose my own shifts, days and so forth, and it has the greatest people. And yes, I have said to some customers "You just got served".
My hobbies is practically Disney/television/film related, lol. Okay as you all by now should know, I Disneyvise my life however possible. My bed sheets are Mickey Mouse, I have Mickey and the Gang posters everywhere, I collect Disney memrobilia and yeah its something I love doing. Like, take for instance. I have almost every Disney movie on DVD, I have these light pens with feathers on them and a Disney Character on the top which I love to collect, I have all these Disney books like Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King and so forth. My current goal now is to collect every Disney film, once again, except this time on BluRay, LOL xD. ANDDDD I live for Lilo and Stitch. HAH, BET YOU WERENT EXPECTING THAT NOW, WE'RE YOU?
Yeah, Lilo and Stitch is my favourite Disney movie/thing. Its my all time favourite film, full stop. No other movie gets to me like Lilo and Stitch, and I dedicate as much as possible to that lil abomination and his human friend. I once was in a time where all I'd do was make Stitch related art work whereever, be it paper at school or work, myspace layouts (ughh) and you know the dealio.
Excluding pretty much every other Disney/Pixar film, other movies/books that have changed my life are these quite unknown pieces of work that goes by the name of Harry Potter. Okay to start off, as im currently typing this, im watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Right now im up to the "Excelent. I wont have this nandy handy wooshy woshy business about not beating up people who deserve it" part xD. LOL now his aunt just broke the glass xD. OKAY but anyways, I used to hate Harry Potter, because its all my friends ever talked about back when I was like 7-9 (1997-1999). I never gave it a try and its the one thing in life I regret the most. 2001 came Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone on film, so I gave it a try and was immensly fascinated by it like nothing has done before, to a point where now im /addicted/ to Harry Potter xD. I went and watched the second and third, etc, was first in line to watch em all, read all the books dozens of times, and well yeah. I go around, walking places, quoting the films like a typical nerd and thats just me. I dont open a door normally anymore. I needa flick my finger and whisper either "alohamora" or yell "expelliarmus/bombarda". Same with switching a light on or off with "lumos" and stuff. I dont refer to people as "people", now they're merely muggles. My favourite insult is "filthy mudblood" even though i respect people with no magical background/half bloods. =]
Anyways xD. I bought a Gryffendor shirt, scarf, necklace and beanie for the opening of Half-Blood Prince and I looked so cool! LOL i have photos on my facebook, with my brother who bought the same, except everything in Slythein, and my cousin who got dressed in her Hogwarts robe and wand, etc. She's 25, my brother is 22 and im 19 o.o. Unfortunately, I only saw the film four times at the theatre, hoped to see it much more
Anyways I have it on Blu Ray and have seen it 6 times so far since getting it like last week xD. Yah, Harry Potter 1-6 were my first Blu Rays <3.
Apart from Harry Potter and Disney, I also love the X-Men saga (comics, shows, films, etc). They're classics and I'm a fair collector of anything X-Men related. I also love collecting Plush Toys (of anything basically) but ONLY from claw machines. I consider myself a bit of a pro but Im still learning strategies everytime I try it. Its practically like poker; you THINK it requires no skill and just luck, but thats a very unfair assumption as they both require a tonne of skill, patience and brains.
Current part of movie: "Its on his suit case Ronald!"
Love that dementor scene. Freaks me out everytime xD.
Well umm some other life opinions. Feel free to skip this spoiler because it deals with religion/politics etc.
- Spoiler:
Anyways, I was born Greek-Orthodox but I dont really care much for religion at all. I do whatever I do for my parents but I dont let it stand in my way of the choices I make and the options I prefer. I dont believe much of what the Bible has to say, but oh well xD. I dont think abortion should be an option, EXCEPT for a rape victim. If pregnancy occurs because of foolish decisions, brokeen protection, laziness and rough play, then the parents should only have the choice of either keeping the baby or putting him/her up for adoption. I dont really have a specific opinion about euthanasia because it varies from circumstance to circumstance. I do not care for politics one bit and nothing can change that xD. Well, I didnt like Bush and Im a fan of Obama, but I guess thats mainly because Bush was (in my opinion) an idiot and like, how do I say this without making myself sound stupid... he hated Harry Potter and the whole "magic" thing
. I dunno what the correct term is, but you know, he was too Southern and ancient to accept something as amazing as Harry Potter and he even denied Jo Rowling from recieving some really prestigious American award, something like a nobel prize but just for america and it was because she drew in millions of people back into reading. His reason: "witchery and wizardry are a sign of evil" f3. Seriously wth? Lol. Anyways, Mr. Obama read the Harry Potter books to his children since they were babies and the whole family are fans :D.
Hmm I think I may have written just a tad bit than normal introductions...
But okay, ill stop...
And continue on with my M.S. info xD
So I started MS around 4 years ago, was a complete nib back then. Eventually I met a friend who tought me about everything I needed to know and yea. My current IGN is Concrusher who's a level 162 bishop. My CK which I barely go on is named Valdemort, and guess who he looks like? x) Im just trying to get him to 120 and thats it, then im planning to make an NL.
Im pretty nib for a bishop, mind you. Im not rich, im not godly, I have WAYYY too much base luk and yeah, my damage is nib xD.
My first guild I was in was Addiction, which I was a Jr. Master of from start till end. The guild died when problems with the guild leader, VelmaKelley, and another Jr master occured, causing Lici and Manda to quit and well yea. My current guild is Mutiny which I adore. Im a bit of a hen ho when im not leeching people, and im quite fun to talk to as I dont shut up. Im an avid chair collector (I have 18), ex-monster card collector (I have 9x) and a medal collector (I have 24). I've done roughly 1000 quests and well yeah.
Current part of movie:
"Quiiiettt. Now, which one of you can tell me the difference between an animagus and a werewolf? No oneee? How dissapointing." xD
"AWHOOOO!" Thank you, Mr. Malfoy x).
Im gonna stop this essay right now but I might be adding things shortly xD.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask away.
Im looking forward to meeting you all and well, yea.
Gotta go watch that awesome Quidditch scene now!
Take care guys :)
