| I am an insomniac, I love the night time so you are definitely not alone in this. I find I can concentrate better on things at night than I can during the day and I get more things done. |

| In my roleplaying, especially the Harry Potter ones, I don't pretend to be the original characters from the books, I have my own original characters that I be, but I am in the Hogwarts setting etc. |

| There are quite a few things that I am extremely scared of - heights, needles, wasps, bees (as allergic to the sting), fireworks, thunder and lightning, dentists, enclosed spaces, dying, being alone |

| I first started using computers when I was 13 years old and have been addicted to them ever since and it is the same with Harry Potter for me. I don't think it caused my AS because I have always struggled since I was about 3 to get on with people or make friends. |
