Yeah, so I saw this little tag-a-majig on BlackLillian's journal, so I'm using it.

The rules:
1. post these rules
2. each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. tags should write a journal of these facts
4. at the end post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

1. I have a terrible fear of Bush Babies. And bats. Trust me, one venture into a free flying bat cave puts you off the beasties for the rest of your life. Not fun. And Bush Babies? Have you seen their eyes, people!? They see into your MIND, I'm telling you.

2. I have been to America twice, once to visit a relative working there and once to go to Disney World. And after fifteen years, I still want to go and live there. Unfortunately, my uncle has come back to his home country and sold his flat, so there is no chance at the moment. But I think I might try to get into Harvard University when I finish school-which'll be pretty close to living there. Everyone's just so much nicer over there!

3. My dream is to become an actress or singer, but I have two life plans all worked out just in case that doesn't work. One involves the joys of writing-I'll freelance if I have to. It pays the bills, and I'd enjoy it. And one day, god help me, I WILL write a book. And it will be fiction, because I have ideas but I refuse to write pages and pages of description with no substance. That really annoy me about books. Tolkien was the bane of my existence when I read The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. It was just far too long!

4. Although people think that I'd be a good mother, I do not want kids. My mother and I both went to different fortune tellers, and they both told us I was going to have four kids. I would rather stick hot spoons onto my eyelids. I mean, think about it-four little versios of me running amok in the world. I think most people believe that one is bad enough. And to be honest, I really agree with them. Everything I touch practically explodes.

5. You know most girls like shoes? I love hats. Hats are my addiction-especially patterned fedoras. After a school production of Bugsy Malone it was hard to tear me away from them. I've got about fifteen so far, all different styles, types and colors. And they all match some outfit or another. I want one with a pokemon on it. I'll have to find one some day.

6. I started off drawing cartoon frogs, in a cartoon strip that circulated around most of my primary school class. I still can't draw anything but them. And I have to look at my manga to see poses, otherwise I just can't draw them. If I try, my anatomy just sucks. It's not that I copy, I just look at the pose and edit it to what I need.

7. There are nearly 300 people in my year group and everybody knows my name. And at the moment, people call me by my second name, because there are too many Katie's in my year. Even the teachers do, because one of my friends told them to, because they knew it got on my nerves at first. Now I've just resigned myself to it. Besides at least now I know when people are yelling at me, and not another Katie in the class.

8. Most of the time, I really don't get along with anyone who is my age. I talk more to people younger or older than me than to people in my own age group. I think it's because I'm just not at the same social level as them-I think I'm a little further down the scale. XD Seriously, I could live in a room with food and my computer, and I'd be fine. It's not a huge problem for me not to have people to talk to, I'll just join in with the nearest group.

I tag anybody who reads my journal and feels the urge to waste a minute of their life. XD
