[Tony Alraur]

Welcome to our little meet and greet picnic. Whilst you are here, we encourage you to share a little information about who you are; what you do; what you enjoy; Along with anything else you wish to share with us, such as your favourite quote; or who your role-playing characters are.

We understand many of you will already know each other, and will chat over IM daily; but for the rest of our members, mostly the newer ones, they won't really know.

You are free to format your post as you wish, either with a paragraph or a list. The choice is yours.

---

Since I'm going first, I have for you an example:
[ul][li]Name: My real name is Tony. I lacked inspiration when I registered.</LI>

[li]Location: Redcar, in the North East of the UK. I live in a small two-room flat, which I hate. I'm dreaming of the day I can purchase a house to move in to.

[li]Employment: I work as a Chef in a hotel / restaurant / bar, just around the corner from me. At the moment I have Wednesdays and Saturdays off, although I have worked the past two weekends in full; and I shall be heading back to college on a new course on Wednesdays. Which sucks.

[li]Education: I have two diplomas, a first and a national, which are worth the same as five A-Levels I think; and I have an NVQ 2 in Professional Cookery. I also have a Dreamweaver 8 certificate, which I took because I didn't want to sit in a centre all day; mind-numbingly bored for weeks on end. And I have a full UK driving licence too, which I count as a qualification; since you can be dis-qualified.

[li]Memorable Moments: I guess passing my driving test last year, after spending a lot of money; and giving up on it for ten months. Being employed for the first time ever is also memorable. And so is seeing my nephew after he was born, (just before Christmas last year). Absolutely brilliant!

[li]Favourite Place to be: Contrary to the fact I barely ever sleep, and if I do it's not well, I really enjoy snuggling up in my quilt. I just love to wake up, and then curl up and lay there.

[li]Hobbies: I enjoy relaxing when I have the time to do it. I also love to cook, as well as eat. If I can, I head out for a drive every now and then; but I'm often to busy to have the opportunity.

[li]Most Spoken Saying: If it's not quality, it's likely to be rawr.

[li]Favourite Quote: I don't actually have a favourite quote, so I can't put anything here. This line is empty.

[li]Time Spent This Year: I borrowed a book from the library some time ago, and read; which I hadn't done for years. I enjoyed the book, which is good. Apart from finding work; passing courses; watching movies; and now role-playing, my year has been pretty dull.

<LI>[li]Characters (Feel free to keep secret ones secret): The current characters I have here are as listed: Tony Alraur; Laura Alraur.[/li][/ul]

As mentioned earlier, you can simply copy the example above and share a little about you to the rest of our community.

Have fun with this, and we look forward to finding out who you are. The team at MESSI.

[li]In to me

[Violet Bellamy]

Awright, here goes nothing (I should SO be studying right now.)

---

Name: My name's Camilla. I'm one of those people who's character names is nothing like their RL names.

Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Known as the Capital of the Sunshine State. I don't get out much, though, now that I lost my sunglasses. I still live at home with my family (I'm 18) but I'm thinking of moving out in the summer.

Employment: I have two part time jobs. I work as a checkout chick at the supermarket near my uni (although I haven't worked there in over 3 months) and I also work as a party hostess at Hungry Jacks (that's Burger King to most people). I dress up as a fairy, pirate or clown and deal with a bunch or bunches of kids every weekend.

Education: I'm a full time university student, but my degree has very few contact hours (I'm doing Arts, majoring in English Literature, and am probably going to start a degree in Secondary Education next year). I'd like to be a high school English teacher. I'm only a first year student, I went to high school at an all-girls school until last year. Which was...interesting, to say the least.

Memorable Moments: Memorable? Hmmm. Finishing high school and spending a week in Sydney with a few close friends instead of going to the coast to get drunk and bashed up is definately up there.

Favourite Place To Be: Why, HNZ of course! Aside from that, I like my university campus. I like sitting at the cafe next to the library with some friends, sitting around chatting and drinking coffee. And my bed, because I never seem to get out of it.

Hobbies: I play Pokemon? Ahahaha. I don't really do much. I make grand schemes to write but they never get off the ground. I like reading but the purchase of my laptop is in direct correlation to how much reading I get done. Oh dear.

Most Spoken Saying: "I should so be studying right now." Or, "I am hardcore procrastinating" or variants thereof.

Favourite Quote: Just read the whole books of Jane Eyre and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking-Glass. Enough said.
Also: "No fist but mine bruises the face of my angel. FALCON..PUNCH!" - Captain Falcon in There Will Be Brawl (Look it up. There's a link in my sig. It is amazing.)

Time Spent This Year: Hmmm. I spent the first half of the year in a daze. University and all, went right over my head. Now I've started trying again (except right now where I am clearly not finishing this speech which I have to present soon) and am doing alright (except in World Religions, which is coincidentally what this speech is for). So that's pretty much been it. I got in to my first relationship this year and that's working pretty well, we've been together for 6 months (even if I'm starting to get more settled and less excited and happy by the relationship). And I've truly discovered who my real friends are.
I also turned 18 recently but I've only been out twice, and once I was home by 10:30.

Characters: Ohhhh boy. Where do I begin? Well apart from Violet Bellamy, there is Angus Greenwood, Lucinda Buckley, Charlotte Wilson, Professor Isolde Glasson, Wallace Montgomery III, Christobelle Montgomery, Katerina Ivanova, Sergei Ivanov, Antoinette Greenwood, Martine Laurent, Markus Schwarz, Ruby Bellamy, Alice Bellamy, Emery Winters, Nikolai Ivanov, Nathalie Ivanov...I think that's all.

# Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

# Employment: I'm a student and don't have a job just yet.

# Education: I'm in high school and as Nickers has said, our high school education is pretty poopy in Ontario, due to the Student Success Program but.. I don't want to ramble and basically give you all the whole essay I wrote on it last year (It was awesome if I do say so myself.)

# Memorable Moments: Oh boy. This one is difficult but I suppose, the most memorable moment I've had so far was when I was going into grade ten, so a little over a year now.
My best friend, who I consider my little sister, came over to Ottawa from a small town I lived in for a year and we had a great time together. I'm extremely sad that we've lost contact but I still love her, a lot, and wish I could see her.

# Favourite Place to be: Huntsville, ON, CAN (small town I used to live in) or Torrence|Bala Bay, ON, CAN (location of my camp).

# Hobbies: Martial Arts (Goshin Jitsu to be specific), swimming, canoeing, kayaking, reading & writing (duh I wouldn't be on here otherwise) and stressing myself out

Location: New Zealand! Like, the actual one. xP I live in a small town off Dunedin. I'm almost as southern as it gets

Employment: I work at a volunteer (ish) kitchen, where I make cheap vegetarian lunches for uni students. Am hoping to get a real job soon

Education: I dropped out of primary school when I was 9 to be homeschooled, and have been almost exclusively self-taught since I was 13. I am a qualified swimming teacher though

Memorable Moments: Hmm. I don't know? Right now my most memorable moments are;
1) My ex. Argh.
2) Seeing my nephew born :wuv:

Favourite Place to be: Anywhere with friends x)

Hobbies: Dancing, I'm doing Grade 4 Hip-Hop next year, and possibly Contempory some time in the future. I'm a swim teacher, and I also am captain and coach of our club's underwater hockey team (reigning Dunedin amateur under 18s champions ) I also love singing, was in a musical earlier this year, and like to write (obviously), fanfiction being my genre. I'm a reader, an occasional artist, and a sometimes Big Plan Comer Upper Wither.

Most Spoken Saying: GWRRRRRRGHL. Haha. Jess will get it.

Favourite Quote: "Language is my mother, my father, my husband, my brother, my sister, my wh0r3, my mistress, my check-out girl... language is a complimentary moist lemon-scented cleansing square or handy freshen-up wipette. Language is the breath of God. Language is the dew on a fresh apple, it's the soft rain of dust that falls into a shaft of morning light as you pluck from a old bookshelf a half-forgotten book of erotic memoirs. Language is the creak on a stair, it's a spluttering match held to a frosted pane, it's a half-remembered childhood birthday party, it's the warm, wet, trusting touch of a leaking nappy, the hulk of a charred Panzer, the underside of a granite boulder, the first downy growth on the upper lip of a Mediterranean girl. It's cobwebs long since overrun by an old Wellington boot." - Stephen Fry.

x)

Time Spent This Year: With my ex, who I wasted a whole year on. Am currently involved in picking up the pieces and figuring out who I am without her, and finding out how many of my friends prefer her to me overall. Sigh.

Characters (Feel free to keep secret ones secret): Kyle Alcott, Gabriel Blume, and Maria Madison. I was Jessy Talent for a brief time, but I've returned her to the original owner now her life has calmed down. I've also got Ellen Castor, who I'm yet to do anything with, and Ricky Madison, who I'll be registering sometime after sorting closes.

 

[Isabella Chaos]

Wow I ramble way too much. :mellow:

---

Name: Abigail, aka Abby! (No E, it's a huge pet peeve of mine, and I used to always hate being called Abigail, but now I've grown up a bit). I don't have a middle name which I feel is a huge deal for some reason and if I could change my name it'd totally be Elphaba. No joke.

Location: Ugh don't remind me, El Paso, Texas, USA. Hardly considered the U.S. at all because we're a backyard away from Mexico. We don't have southern accents, don't wear cowboy hats or boots, etc. all those Texan stereotypes don't apply to lame El Paso.

Employment: Been working at Big Lots, a retail/department store I guess, for over a year now as a cashier/associate a.k.a. the person who cleans up your mess when you don't put things back where they belong! Ever since I started working there, I've stressed to all my family members that they should please be courteous and put things they don't want back where they got it from! I also recently sent in an application to be a copy editor of an online magazine, but have yet to hear a response from them. Eeep!

Education: I went to SIX different elementary schools (I think it's "primary school" in other places) and I honestly don't know why my mom kept changing us schools. I graduated from high school in 2008, and this'll now be my second year NOT attending college or "university". The subject of school is a very touchy one for me because both of my summers prior to graduating have all consisted of me stressing to make things work for university and spending oodles of money in the process, just to have it not work out and stay out of school for another year. Call me crazy but I thrive in school and I wish for nothing more than to be in school right now rather than have the leisure of sitting around all day doing whatever I please. In high school I was always super involved with band (clarinet ), Youth for Christ (Secretary), Literary Magazine (Editor-in-Chief), Newspaper (Co-editor), Yearbook (Assistant Editor), regular theatre and tech theatre, and musical theatre! Yeah sometimes it made me want to pull my hair out, but honestly, I'd still do it again and try to fit swimming in there somewhere (it would've fit too! ).
When I do finally go to university, (which better be in January or I'll pull my hair out!) I plan on majoring in Journalism, and minoring in either Creative Writing or Graphic Design.

Memorable Moments: One thing I'll never forget was going to Europe when I was 16, flying on a plane for the first time ever ALL ALONE, and having to navigate my way around a foreign country (Italy) trying to find my teacher and my group. Then navigating around an even foreigner country (France) getting to the airport to fly back alone again while my teacher & group left on another plane in another airport. :wacko: Still, it was the best spring break EVER and I'll never forget it!
Also, going to New York for the first time ever and getting to see my most favorite person in the world, Leighton Meester!

Favorite Place to be: Anywhere but El Paso! But mostly, NEW YORK! I've always known I belonged there, and when I went there for the first time ever last year, I just knew I belonged there. I mean, I have THE WORST sense of direction EVER, I still wouldn't be able to tell you how to get from the corner store to my house, no joke - but when I went to New York, I TOTALLY knew my way around and it just all came naturally to me! It's crazy but just a sign that I belong there!

Hobbies: Writing (focus on poetry), scrapbooking!, CELEBRITY GOSSIP, graphics making , RPing, duh!, swimming, being a complete fangirl, mhmm.

Most Spoken Saying: I think it's safe to say that it's "OMG!" or "zomg"

Favorite Quote: I got it! and it's from one of my most favorite people in the world! "I love New York. You're never alone but you're always on your own." - Leighton Meester

Time Spent this Year: On the interwebs. HNZ, catching up on my celebrity gossip, googling images, graphics, or doing school stuff like applications.

Characters: Isabella Chaos, Wendy Chaos, Scorpius Knight, Leia Evans, Isaac Chambers IV, Summer Chambers, Hannah Chambers, Charles Chaos (Ministry Official, Unspeakable), Daphne Chaos (dead!), Pamela Macey (Shopkeeper), Valeria Trevi, Vince Channing, and Victoria Chambers, all family members. Yeah, that's it for now, no secret characters anymore.

Employment: Don't be silly. Still a student Although I may be working at Pizza Hut come Christmas time

Education: I attend WGSB (Wirral Grammar School for Boys) which has its ups and downs, the ups being that well its a grammar school so a better education sounds more likely compared to what other comprehensive schools, but the down side is its an all lads school but we do have the girls school next door and we get to share their tennis courts

Memorable Moments: Probably going to America (Florida)

Favourite Place to be: I wouldn't say I have one that sticks on. I like to be out and about but also like to just have those lazy days where you just laze about on HNZ
Hobbies: Errr... cricket and football or soccer to most of you guys, reading, HNZ, watching Movies. School... just kidding

Most Spoken Saying: Jeez... Im quite sarcastic so its probably along the lines of a sarcastic comment in a West Country accent along with the incredulous word Awesomesauce and another one that apparently won't catch on or so according to Nick: Hezlo!

Favourite Quote: Probably quite a few or though don't expect me to remember them off the top of my head

The Points are like Velma off Scooby Doo- They just don't matter- Drew Carey on Whose Line is it anyway?

Miss Mullins, you the man- School of Rock

Although an English teacher does seem pretty cool as I really like English and Im classed as as gifted and talented for English (dont see how they worked that out but no complaints there ) I want to be married and have at least 2 children when I'm older (probably no more)and I want to be one of those Dads that are always there for the their kids(but whose Dad doesn't?) so basically a family man Again this may seem like ages away but it doesn't hurt to plan it out right?

 

[Jessame Rose Trewelly]

# Name: I'm Emma (lemonemma on skype)

# Location: Currently Daegu, South Korea, but come the end of November I will be packing my bags and exploring Vietnam and Cambodia for a month before going home to Dunedin, New Zealand for a couple of months. Sometime around the middle of next year I plan to relocate again, this time to somewhere in Europe. Likely to be Finland, Spain or Germany.

# Employment: I teach English as a second language to Korean children between the ages of 8 and 17. I love it. Some of the other jobs I've had in my life are eco-tour guide and ATV driver , actor, call centre operator (ugh), waitress (ugh), cafe assistant :X , sales, promotions, paper-girl, first aider, fire-safety attendant, theatre attendant, research assistant, editor, and library assistant. And I'm only 25. Just.

# Education: Jeez, I feel like I'm filling out a CV here! I graduated from Otago University in NZ with a BA in Theatre Studies, a minor in Marketing Management and DipGrad in Religious Studies. I also attended Oulun Yliopisto (The University of Oulu) in Finland for a year. I have all kinds of certificates like first aid and fire safety and camping and leadership of girls and adults (through Girl Guiding). I did well in High School but don't remember the grades (although I remember the days when they seemed very important and I could reel them off from the top of my head). I went to Kindergarten (ages 3-4), Primary School (ages 5-10), Intermediate School (ages 11-12) and High School (ages 13-18) in Dunedin, New Zealand, and I went to a Gymnasium (High School) in Germany for 2 months as well, when I was 16.

# Memorable Moments:
- Outward Bound, January 2008. I'm terrified of heights to the point I stop breathing, but I did nearly all of the high ropes course (I never said I wouldn't cry!), and I even ran a freaking half-marathon, let alone all the other cool stuff we did, and the friends I made.
- New Years Eve (Sylvester) 2000. Running through a German village, jumping over fireworks seconds before they screamed into the air, greeting people in German, my hands freezing, my beer overflowing and the froth on top freezing solid in the cold night air. I'll remember it forever.
- ANZAC Day 2006, at the Dawn Service in Gallipoli, Turkey.
- Seeing my first Northern Lights in 2005.
- Seeing my first Southern Lights when I was a kid.
- Swimming in the Arctic Ocean in the north of Norway in December 2005.
- Getting my Queen's Guide Award and having it presented by the Governer General. Also my Class Act award and having it presented by the Prime Minister.
- The first time I heard (through the grapevine) that my older brother, who I idolised and despised by turns throughout my childhood, was proud of me.
- When my first poem was published when I was 11.
- Ok, I could literally go on for HOURS, but I'll stop there in the interest of getting some sleep tonight.

# Favourite Place to be: St Kilda beach in Dunedin, New Zealand. It's a five minute walk from the house where I grew up and I spent countless days and nights there, alone, with friends, freezing, burning, laughing, crying. It's also where I proposed to my husband-to-be.

# Hobbies: Writing, hip-hop dance, jazz dance (although I'm a total amateur), reading, playing basketball, painting, playing soccer, walking, tramping (that's hiking for all you non-NZers; not whoring ), camping, guiding (as in girlguides), teaching, helping people, acting, going to the theatre, learning, travelling, languages, sleeping and cuddling.

# Most Spoken Saying: "Not my fault" Also, I add -cakes or -ycakes to the end of many words. Like "sweetycakes" or "yaycakes." I also add -pants or -face to the end of most peoples' names. Like "Emmaface" or "Emmapants"

# Favourite Quote: "The British were never a very spiritual people, so they invented cricket to give them some idea of what eternity might be like" (probably horridly misquoted) from George Bernard Shore. Also, from one of my students: "My yonger brether always frolic to me. Only one but I'm go mad. I don't want more brother and sisters." That's the exact spelling.

# Time Spent This Year: Mostly teaching and sleeping, but also dancing, playing soccer in the hot hot sun, complaining about the humidity, a 2 week trip to Japan, going on weekend trips to different parts of Korea, writing, reading, surfing the internet, thinking about the future, failing to plan my wedding (5 months away, eek), watching baseball games, failing to learn Korean, eating out (gaining weight), killing mosquitoes, trying not to scratch mosquito bites, expanding my mind and generally just being.

# Characters (Feel free to keep secret ones secret): Jessame Rose Trewelly, Beaumont Karhunlappi and Ekky the (hilarious) house elf.

I'm currently studying, Maths Higher, English Higher, History Higher, French Higher and Higher Human Biology. It's not fun. I'm not a fan of school.

[Ellie Sparks]

- Name: Nicole :$ I've always hated it and always wanted to change it, When I was in Primary school I wanted to be called Charlie and then Melody, then when I grew up a little I really really like the name Ellie (Guess why I called my first character on HNZ that ) I thought It was really sweet and unique as I knew noone with that name, but I'm starting to hear about alot of new borns being names Ellie, so I think it's going to be quite big in the next few years. I was planning to call my first daughter that (If I have any children, which I plan to ) and as long as it's not over-used I probably still will !

- Location: The west of Glasgow, in Sunny Scotland (ha). It rains far too much, but I've come to love the rain, and although it's getting way too crowded and drives me nuts most of the time, I've come to love Glasgow too Although I've always wanted to move to Sydney, because I have family there and have been over a few times, it's an amazing place and if I ever have the chance to live there for even just a few months I'll grab it :sba: !

- Employment: I don't work I'm In my 4th year at the complete dump that is Knightswood Secondary school, can't wait to get out of the place and join the army ! Thinking of getting a part-time chippy job, just so I'll have a bit extra money for the weekend and stuff !

- Education: What about it ? I don't seem to do very well in school, and don't plan to continue my education after 4th year, but atleast I'm doing well in Dance, Admin, English and Maths (even though I'm in a low class! atleast I'm doing well in it ) so I hope to be able to get a pass between 1-3 in my Standard Grades for those subjects, as for most college courses you need 3 standard grade passes between 1-3 to get in, as I plan to go to college at sometime in my life, probably after I return from the Army (If I do return ) as I'm really set on joining !
