...damn.

Hi there! Nice to meet you, I'm SwiftSign, Swift, some variation on that or... Peter. Pick one, stick with it.

I'm 21, an English, science fanatic and a lover of all things fluffy, scaly and bitey. I'm a trainee biology teacher (soon, hopefully, to be a real biology teacher) - yet I'm worryingly young at heart. I won't say exactly where I do live, but I don't live in Madagascar.

I've been a member here at PC for 4 years now forever, on and off. I started off at a hacking noob, which is where I hid for most of the time. I recognise quite a few subscribers from the hacking forums :D hello!

Since my repeated failure at ROM hacking was starting to get tiring I then stretched my legs around the rest of the forum, bumping in to (the late) OCD section and angrily replying to extremist trolls. I bumped into a hugeeee host of awesome people, however due to my disappearance for the last 6 months or so I'm out of touch with most. :(

My current residence is in the RP section, where I am about to start on my... 3rd? RP. This time I've been clever enough to set it up before summer break - so I will have no distractions from work! #backwards

Hobbies outside of stalking PC and pretending to be productive involve anime, US cult-TV and random quiz shows.

I'm also (slowly) teaching myself Japanese. Although so far it only includes random nouns (I do know katakana and hirigana though {:3} bonus points please?).

Welcome to my cave! Ask me questions! ♥

iPhone apps! Look up Dr. Moku's Hirigana/Katakana. They've been really helpful ^_^.

With nouns I just watch anime incessantly and look up pointless things they say XD.

Hi SwiftSign! Mind if I call you Peter, then? I like that name :>

I miss your SAO RP. Are you even more psyched about this GoP RP? It looks cool!

What is your favorite japanese word so far?

Who is your favorite character in Game of Thrones? (if you have one)

Go for it :o

At least there's a new SAO RP up now :) I'm hoping GoP will get a good crowd around it and really take off, I'm already planning the first few events now so we've got something to go on, although the Pokémon-mechanics need to be fine tuned I think.

Favourite japanese words: むずかし (Muzukashi - Difficult) or いちばん (Ichiban - First/Best). Second one might just be because of the Friends reference :P ~"Ichiban, for men!" :pink_boogie:


Ahh! I have too many favourite characters in Game of Thrones. I love Tyrion, Brienne and Lady Olenna Tyrell are amongst them.

Although I have a love-hate relationship with Cersei and Melisandre - they're such great villains, really well cast and well written.

What made you want to become a teacher?

What's your favourite day-to-day activity?

Did you think about PC much whilst you were gone?

What's your favourite RP you've ever been a part of?

HI WELCOME HOME :)

HI WELCOME HOME :)
QUESTIONS :O


I really enjoy working with kids, getting them interested and excited about science! Although it's often a struggle, it's also good fun.

Hah! Cuddles with the boyf? #cheese

I checked in lots! I did miss talking to people though :[ I chimed in every now and then to help in the ROM hacking forums, and kept an eye on the X/Y forum, but glad to be posting again.

Favourite RP I've been part of was a pirate RP, my first RP. Had a tonne of people in it (30 I think?) and was really good fun. It had competition elements and with such an array of characters it was super :3.

I have a brother name Peter! Lol.

Do you like living in England? What's it like there?

Since you're learning Japanese , I'm assuming you like anime or manga? If so is your interest in anime/manga is what inspired you to learn Japanese? If not what did?

Hi AWsquared! :) Nice to meet you~

England is good, from my point of view anyway. The areas I live in/have lived in have always felt quite safe, secure and have quite a lot going on - although I abandoned England and fled to Wales a few years ago! Both are awesome :).

Although saying that, I hate London. It's one of the busiest, craziest places I've been and it makes me really uncomfortable being there for too long. I would hate to live there. Have you ever been? (Or do you live here too... in which case ignore XD).

I do love a lot of anime yes haha, I've been watching on and off since I was about 13/14, I must have watched dozens of whole series and possibly thousands of episodes o-o. It is one of the reasons I first got interested in Japanese, however I think I chose to learn it more for the culture as I hope to visit Tokyo in a year or two. Doing it to understand anime would probably be quite fruitless, would take a long time to understand more than the odd word.

Hello again, Peter. (You can call me Aaron btw.)

Nah I live in America (Missouri specifically), but thanks for asking. :)

Do you have a favorite famous place/attraction to visit in London ?

If you could learn another language besides Japanese, what would it be? Do you know any other languages?

Hi Aaron! (much easier haha).


My favourite place in London is probably the natural history museum! Lots of cool skeletons and animal models, it suits the biologist in me.

Hm I'm not too sure. I speak some basic French from when I was at school, it would be good to get that up to a more acceptable and useful level again - but I haven't been to France in ages anyway, even though it's pretty close.
