[insert clever title here]
 
Hi guys! I’m Sophie though you can call me Aslan if you want! I'm Australian, in eighth grade and part of the battle server staff. Some of my interests include gaming, listening to music, drawing, cooking and Harry Potter. I also enjoy basketball, looking after animals and manga!

So uh, about my life! I remember having all this awkward shit happen to me during primary school such as getting asked out in first grade and helping my interrelate teacher deliver a fake baby during class. Other than that though, I had a pretty normal school life. I was part of both the band and orchestra for a couple of years before eventually dropping them due to lack of interest.

In sixth grade, I did my high school examinations and was placed in one of the top 5 high schools in the state. I also had received a scholarship to one of the local private schools though I ended up going to the former. Either way, I was really happy about it haha!

As for the future though, studying psychology and moving to England are definitely high up on my list! Other things I’d like to do include owning a pet rabbit, seeing snow, becoming more active in social justice and going on a tour around Europe again.

But yeah, ask away! I'll answer pretty much anything. :]

Squirrel March 22nd, 2015 7:04 AM

HEY SOPHIE YOU SUCK. But in a loving way ♥ Do you agree?

Where are you hoping to move to in England?

What breed of rabbit are you hoping to own?

Would your parents allow you to own a rabbit, or do you have to wait for independence?

Are you happy with who you are?

Name your top 3 bands!

HEY ALEX. YES but only if you agree that you suck just as much.

Quote:

Where are you hoping to move to in England?
Honestly don't know yet haha. I like pretty much everywhere in England though I enjoyed London the most as it felt like a bigger and more historical Sydney.

Though it'd be really ambitious to want to live there so maybe I'll opt for a more quiet city like Reading. ;]

Quote:

What breed of rabbit are you hoping to own?
Just a grey rabbit probably! They're my mum's favourite animal and I find them pretty cute myself.

Quote:

Would your parents allow you to own a rabbit, or do you have to wait for independence?
I don't think so. Apparently guinea pigs and rabbits don't mix well together so yeah, I'll be waiting for a while haha.

Quote:

Are you happy with who you are?
I guess? I'm happy that I've made it this far in life but there are definitely things I could work or improve on such as time management and being more confident in myself. But to answer the question, I'd say I'm 90% happy with who I am!

Quote:

Name your top 3 bands!
omg fo real. I'm naming four. ):

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

1. Fall Out Boy
2. Snow Patrol
3. Arctic Monkeys
4. The Foo Fighters

Honourable mentions go to Panic! At The Disco, Relient K, Coldplay and The Fray though.

Thanks for the questions loser. <3

Yeah I was a violin/flute player for the longest time! I was really bad at practicing regularly though, oops.

And yeah, let's just say that me and my piano don't get along too well. ;A;

Both! I sub for my school's basketball team though I haven't had to play a match yet. Position wise, I play point guard.

I love playing basketball casually though! It's really funny watching all my non-basketball friends try and shoot the ball haha. :D

Quote:

Personal experience, I guess. I've had some really rough experiences here and there and I feel like I recovered from them faster with the help of having people to talk to. By being a psychologist, I'd hope to at least be able to do the same to someone else's life.

Quote:

Favourite Manga?
FMA! I don't think you can get much better with either its anime or manga.

Quote:

Any other places you want to travel besides England? (In particular which places would you like to hit on your European tour?)
Switzerland! I was only there for a day or two last time though the scenery and atmosphere of the place blew me away. Definitely a place I want to explore more thoroughly in the future. :]

Honourable mentions include Germany, Belgium and Denmark! I'd love to visit anywhere in Europe though, all of it's amazing.

Quote:

and finally, favourite and least favourite subjects currently at school?
History or Geography. I like my social sciences.

Least favourite? Probably Maths. I don't hate it but it's probably the class I pay the least attention in haha. ):

Sanguine March 23rd, 2015 7:42 AM

Would you be a cool old person or a grouchy fist-waving one?

How tall do you want to be in the future?

Both. I hate the idea of being old and one step closer to death but at the same time, I'd probably want to pass on all my stories, bad jokes and memories in the last few years of my life. So I guess I'll bitch and moan about being old but also be super cool with kids at the same time haha :]

Quote:

How tall do you want to be in the future?
Not very! 170cm sounds ideal.

GreyBidoof March 23rd, 2015 4:40 PM

What do you most look forward to about entering high school?

Why the move to England?

Sirfetch’d March 23rd, 2015 10:00 PM

Ban 3 champions from LoL permanently?

Do you enjoy being a BSS member?

If you were a gym leader what would your type and team be?

What keeps you visiting PC each day?

We start in Year 7 so I'm already in high school! Looking back on it though, I think I was just really looking forward to being able to start the next chapter in my life.

Quote:

Why the move to England?
Well one of the benefits of moving to England would be that it's less isolated! Honestly there's not much difference between England and Australia other than the weather and the fact that England's more interesting so I'd love to move out there. :]

Nasus, Teemo and Tryndamere. They're the most anti-fun champs to play against or with so I'd probably go for them first. ):

Quote:

Who doesn't enjoy being a BSS member?

Quote:

Flying! And my team would consist of six Magikarps as they totally fly. ;]

Quote:

What keeps you visiting PC each day?
The people mostly! I probably wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for all of my PC / battle server friends. Though I guess it's also the feeling of being able to log on and having something to do. :D

After being exposed to this radio, I've seen levels of self-esteem dropping. WORKS AMAZINGLY WOULD RECOMMEND

Quote:

BE MORE CREATIVE

Quote:

Depends - is it free?

Quote:

Before psychology, I wanted to become an author so that's always a possibility? I could see myself leaning towards forensics or veterinary if I didn't end up pursuing psych though.

Quote:

bananas or custard apples?
Custard apples! No idea what they taste like but anything with custard's godly.

Quote:

neptune or venus?
Neptune. I dedicated a whole project to the Solar System in Year 3 though so I like both!

Quote:

what if the world is actually not spinning now and started spinning tomorrow?
well that'd be fucking weird

4. Furret
5. Aerodactyl

Honourable mentions: Quagsire, Stunfisk, Latias, Staraptor, Azumarill and Shelmet.

Quote:

Most of my favourite bands are rock / alternative rock. I enjoy most genres of music though, wouldn't say I really have a favourite. :]

because scizorr isn't a pokemon nub

Quote:

If we're talking pre 90s, then yes I do listen to some! Not super regularly but I like The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, R.E.M. and all that. Don't listen to much though so my tastes are quite limited. ):

ok nevermind I'd rather have a banana actually

Gligar March 27th, 2015 11:47 PM

My sister! She was into the series way before I was and we grew up watching the pokemon movies she'd receive for her birthday. I've watched Mewtwo Strikes Back, Pokemon 2000, the Celebi one, Entei one, pretty much all of them. At the time I hadn't known that a game series existed so most of my interest for the franchise came from watching the show.

In 2006 my sister got her first pokemon game and that's where I really went '!!!!'. The idea of being able to raise my own pokemon was too good to pass up so I begged my parents for a pokemon game year after year. And then boom, 2009, got Pokemon Platinum. Been playing the games and rewatching the movies ever since. :]

Aw I don't think I have a least favourite. I've never finished a first or second gen game though. ):

Quote:

Favourite colour's probably blue! Reminds me of a lot of things - the sea, the sky, blueberries, it's just a pleasant colour. As for my favourite type of blue, I really like light blue / aqua though all of them are pretty nice. Other favourites are green, yellow and purple!

Least favourite?! Uh let's see. Brown I guess? I like almost all of the colours though some of the neon ones really hurt my eyes.

Quote:

I LOVE SNACKS

I eat pretty much anything though the easiest way to earn my love is to give me either chocolate, ice cream or anything grape flavoured. And yeah I snack way more than I should, oops. :D

Sirfetch’d April 7th, 2015 5:02 PM

Best thing you got for Easter was?

What is your proudest moment in life?

Least proud moment?

If you could improve PC in any way, what would you choose to do?

ALL THE CHOCOLATE

Quote:

What is your proudest moment in life?
Not really a specific thing but I'm proud of being able to overcome all the shit that's been thrown my way. Looking back on it I've had a medical disorder, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low self esteem issues and yet I'm still here today in one piece. If I'm not proud of that then I'm not sure what else I've done that I can really look back on and say 'wow you're the fucking best self'.

Quote:

Least proud moment?
The time where I tried to flip a pancake and it fell on the floor. WOOPS

Quote:

Hey Derk!

I guess my approach to life is that I'll look for the best in every situation but I'll also be realistic when it comes to the outcomes of said situation. For example I'm not expecting a student trying to resolve a conflict between them and a bully to end up in them becoming best buds. At best they'd probably just leave each other alone and be polite. It could happen but it's not an outcome I expect. Stuff like that.

As for life itself, I think it's really easy to be carefree and relaxed about things once you've overstepped all those hurdles. You're more prepared for difficult situations if that makes sense.

Quote:

In that same vein, is there anything particular saying/motto that you live by that gives you motivation and drive?
All of Calvins and Hobbes is really good for this sort of stuff. ;]

For example:
'It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.'

Okay maybe that doesn't exactly give me motivation and drive to live but here are some quotes that I like in general:
Spoiler:

'If good things last forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?'

'Laughter is the best medicine.'

'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'

'You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.'

'Maybe we should all stop looking for society to give us permission to be ourselves.'

'People often forget that kindness is free.'

'It matters not what someone is born, but who they grow to be.'

VERY TUMBLERY but those are some of the quotes that I follow/like.


Thanks for the questions!

Circuit April 9th, 2015 10:41 AM

Hihi, how goes it Sophie? :)

Firstly, I wanna say that I think you maaay have a slight misinterpretation of living in England. Why not come to Germany instead? (It's super cool and spacious here, though some of the people can be weird)

Secondly, how far did you get with the Violin? Would you pick it up again given more free time?

Thirdly OMG Calvin and Hobbes is the best. Favourite clip, sketch, panel? (whatever they're called lmao, my English is getting bad)

Sirfetch’d April 9th, 2015 2:56 PM

Are you a member of other forums besides PC? If so, what are some?!

Outside of Pokemon and League what are some things you enjoy playing?

Do you play any sports?

Hey hey! Not bad, yourself? :]

I'm sure Germany's a nice country but I guess I've never really known what it's like over there. I'd also rather not try and pick up German as I'm already juggling three languages in the form of English, Cantonese and Japanese. I think a lot of people in Germany speak English but yeah if I knew more then maybe I'd consider it! For now it's a place I'd rather go to for holidays than live haha.

Quote:

Let's see... based on the songs that I was playing by the time I finished, I would say that I was close to starting fourth grade. If I had time then I'd definitely try it again but my interest's more towards the piano at the moment!

Quote:

Thirdly OMG Calvin and Hobbes is the best. Favourite clip, sketch, panel? (whatever they're called lmao, my English is getting bad)
Ayy glad to see someone else who likes Calvin and Hobbes! All of them are gold so I picked a few I really liked. (large spoiler incoming)



And of course the one that I mentioned in my above answer!

Nope! I've tried other pokemon forums like Bulbagarden and Serebii though I didn't really enjoy either of those. Other than that, I think I briefly did HP roleplaying on another forum but PC still remains as my sole internet home.

Quote:

Outside of Pokemon and League what are some things you enjoy playing?
Mario, Legend of Zelda, Professor Layton, Fire Emblem... I've barely played any of these series but I really like them. As far as PC games go I play stuff like Minecraft, Maplestory and occasionally two player flash games like Chaos Faction 2 / Boxhead with my cousin. Nothing beats watching my Dad dance to California Girls on Just Dance though. ;]

Quote:

I play basketball the most though I also do rock climbing and swimming. Never really been much of a sports person, I play like once or twice a week haha.
