hi~
First of all, my b-day party (-ies XD) was amazing, I loved every second of it, and I got great gifts from my friends. For example a HUGE Twilight poster (3/4 of my wall beginning from the ceiling) <33
and a beautiful charms bracelet from my best friend as well as an amazing HErmione/Blaise one-shot

(I'll post the link once she's posted it on fanfiction.net).
And I decided today what I'm going to study at uni, at last

I'm leaving this saturday together with a big group of other students, to get to know each other before school starts

And also a big thank you again to the people who made something for my b-day!!

5. No tag-backs.
1. I'm very shy
2. I'm absolutely terrible at finding my way, and I mean
horrible. I even have trouble finding classrooms..
3. I love to read, especially english fantasy and I take my book with me a lot.
4. I adore Japan, really adore. It started in 2006 when I bought my first 'how to draw manga book' and from then on my love for manga, but also one for Japan kept growing. It was even the theme of my b-day party last week, and if I can I'll study Japanese as an extra course at my uni XD
5. You all know I love Harry Potter of course

6. Drawing is heaven for me, I don't know how I'd survive without it

7. I can easily cry when watching something sad in a good anime or movie
8. I'm a big perfectionist. Believe me. I don't even have to clean my room, because there's almost never any clutter XD and I won't stop with something unless I'm satisfied, same with my drawings (which is why they take so long).
9. I really like my long curly hair, and unlike most people with curly hair I don't want straight hair
10. I love all of you

I'm really happy I'm on DA because I also made some really good friends here

and of course I love my real-time friends to

I'm not going to tag anyone for this one, because everyone's probably done it once (or more), so if you want to, go ahead! <3
