Newbie spotted

[Luna Black]

Hello, I arrived at HNZ a couple of days ago and I just discovered this place to introduce myself ooc. My real name is Sarah and I'm a 22-year-old student from Belgium. I'm oviously in love with the Harry Potter universe, but I'm fairly new to RP'ing. I'm a proud Puff and I based my first character's personality on my 11-year-old self.

I'm kind of a geek, being very much into fantasy series like Game of Thrones/ASoIaF, LotR and the rest of the Tolkien universe, The Hunger Games, etc. I was a bookworm as a child, reading my favourite books over and over, but it kind of ended when I was forced to read boring, dramatic, realistic books for school, until that ended about a year ago when I was finally allowed to read what I wanted to read: the Hunger Games, Silmarillion and ASoIaF series. I also enjoy playing board games and online strategy games.

I have one important outdoor hobby, horsebackriding, which I love and which I spend a lot of time on. From time to time I go skiing in Austria or Switzerland, and I like adventurous holidays, hiking and camping. I'm not much into city trips and cultural holidays or beach holidays in hot tourist countries.

Anything else? I like food and cooking, though I hardly find time for that, I'm new to RolePlaying but I seem to like it much better than I expected, I'm a happy single, and my favourite band is Flogging Molly.

Welcome Sarah! Puffs unite!

I'm Claire, from the UK. I am also a Hunger Games fan! (though I don't like the films as much as the books, which I've read too many times to count )

Hope to see you around some more! If you ever want to RP, feel free to hit me up

Hallo Sarah,
Ik spreek geen Vlaams en mijn Frans is dermate slecht dat zelfs jij dat niet lezen kunt maar met Nederlands kan ik overweg. Ik ben Tamara en ben een 20 jaar oude knotsgekke Brabander wel de Nederlandse Brabant. Ik zit nu al sinds 2013 hier en iedereen is super lief zelfs al typ je geen perfecte Engelse hoogstandjes. Welkom ik wil je best wat leren maar alles komt van zelf als je wilt pm me kunnen we gezellig kletsen. Hopelijk spreek je ook VlVlaam/nl want sommige Walloniërs kunnen geen Nederlands. Dan sta ik voor schut anyhow welkom!

Good luck, Tamara
Btw I wrote it on my phone, which is pretty hard.

 

[Luna Black]

Hello, thank you all for the warm welcome!
I have to say, I just realised how much I still have to work on my thesis in the coming weeks, so I might be a little less active for a while, but it doesn't mean I'm disappearing already it's good stress relief.

@Tamara: Ik woon in Vlaanderen dus ik spreek inderdaad Nederlands mijn Frans is niet zo goed.

 

[Bridget Cross]

What are you studying / writing a thesis for?

 

[Luna Black]

I'm studying for my master's in translation, English/Spanish to Dutch

 

[James Adams]

Bit late, but I'm James from England. I totally dig you with those book series: they have to be some of my favourite ever books. And school is a pain with stuff like To Kill a Mockingbird. I just don't understand why we have to read books which are ok, but nothing special - I can't wait until I can drop English as a subject so I can continue to love reading and writing as a hobby

I much prefer the outdoors too! (Although I'm more climbing/walking orientated than horse riding - you don't want to hear what happened the first time I got on a horse )

I hope you have a wonderful time around HNZ, it certainly is a great place to learn to RP (as I did).

James

 

[Luna Black]

Thanks James
