How old are you? 15

Where do you work? Nowhere at the moment, I used to work in a pizza shop. I'm looking around for more work though.

What country/state do you live in? Queensland, Australia

Do you have any pets, and what kind? I do have a fox terrier called "Pippa", but she lives with my dad so I don't see her often. She is literally a feral ball of muscle.

What kind of music do you like? I like a lot of music, so I can't really narrow it down. It also changes a lot. I am always open to new styles of music, artists, and songs.

What do you like to do for fun? Talk to people over teh interwebz, listen to music, design websites (I don't do it often anymore), and lately I've been scripting things in mIRC.

What things are you talented at doing? Nyaa, I'm not entirely sure - you would have to ask someone I know because I'm not the best at observing myself. I would rather other's opinions on how well I do things rather than my own.

What kind of setting is your home in? I live in a coastal city in suburbia, ten minutes from the city itself and a short drive from the hinterland.

Any scary things happened or near-death experiences? Scary things, I suppose yes at some points in my life but not really anything serious. I have had no near-death experiences, thankfully. (or as far as I can remember)
