I'm a 22 year old girl young woman from Brighton.
I spent a number of years focusing on the study of science, getting Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics qualifications at college and a BSc(Hons) in Pharmaceutical and Chemical Sciences at university... and yet despite that I find myself unable to get a 'proper' job. Its something I find rather infuriating. The coming "recession" may not help either.
In the meanwhile I'm a checkout opperator in a shop, which obviously makes lots of use of the degree I worked so hard for :(

Over the years I have spent far too much money on anime, games and manga. Mostly manga I think, as I own an awful lot of it in varied genres, and a lot of it has ended up in boxes lately. I have discovered that Sods Law is absolute, for yes... those I box up to store then end up being the ones I want to read or find something in ^^
I also own a fair amount of japanese doujinshi. The art quality varies dramatically, but in my opinion some of it ranks easily alongside (or higher than) some official releases (ever read the official Gundam SEED manga? Its really not recommended :P)

I'm actually more of a manga reader, but I do also watch quite a lot of anime. I started with Sailor Moon (as, I understand, many people did), and its gradually grown from there.
Theres no point in listing everything, but my most current fangirl fixation on the anime front is Gundam 00, and I look forward to seeing the further epic fighting between the Meisters and A-Laws, the schemes of the Innovators, and the series ending in fire and chaos and an orbital elevator drop. Or however they choose to end it :)

I play World of Warcraft and I have ever since the US Beta... although I am actually in Europe and play on European servers (as Troll Shaman on Shadowsong EU). I enjoy exploring, levelling, talking with friends and raiding... although somewhere along the lines recently either my slightly old laptop, my internet connection, or WoW itself decided they didn't like me and have stricken me with chain disconnects when I try to raid, which has damaged the latter somewhat -_-;

Console wise at christmas I obtained half a PS3, and whenever my sister isn't around or I can convince her to be less annoying that usual I'm playing Disgaea 3. I am thoroughly enjoying the completely over the top english dub, and have been caught laughing out loud more times than I care to count. I've also become somewhat convinced that Almaz is seven shades of awesome wrapped in red ribbons. Or scarves. If there were a figure of him available, I'd even buy it :)
Hrm. I need to try and work out if I can purchase the US additional DLC characters actually :|
Anyhow, I also have a PSP and a DS. Because I'm a hopeless disgaea fan I often go back to playing the Disgaea portable game on my PSP (I admit, I don't actually have it on my DS yet), and I'm looking forward to Disgaea 2 getting released for the PSP. I do hope they give it an english release too :)
I also play FFT and Rengou vs ZAFT on the PSP quite often. On the DS I tend to go back to Etrian Odyssey or EOII after a while.

This reads as more of an introductory blog post than a bio, but meh. Its probably slightly better than the completely blank space that had been here for months beforehand.
Thankyou for reading this far!
