I guessed that I may as well do this too, even though I don't think I'm overly interesting. I'm Anya, and standing at 15 years of age [well, 30 mentally if you ask any of my friends], I'm pretty sure I'm the youngest here. Though don't judge me by my age as I'm alot more mature than that.
I discovered Once Upon a Time through a Tumblr; I'm the Countess-of-Storybrooke on there. It was actually a gif post about Regina that got me interested in the show. After doing some digging, I managed to watch the whole entire first season in three days, just in time for the second series premiere. As I grew up as a 'Disney child' and always had fairytales in my childhood, I instantly loved OUAT and the twist the writers took with the classic stories that I loved so much. OUAT has to be my favourite fandom; and the one I'm most emotionally attached too.
Although I do like things other than OUAT {Shocking, I know} My favourite TV show on this side of the pond [I'm in the UK if you're wondering] is Downton Abbey. I'm in love with everything to do with that time period and each and every single one of the actors and actresses. I love the writing but have to admit that I hate the ending of the latest Christmas Special and that the past series hasn't been anywhere near as good as the former two series.
In the past two years, I've really gotten into the theater, and all this was started by Phantom of the Opera. However, it wasn't until a year ago [almost exactly] when I dislocated my knee the day before Christmas Eve that I really got into POTO. My mother bought me the 25th Anniversary DVD for Christmas and as I was on bedrest for a good month and on crutches for another month, and in Physio the month after that, there wasn't very much I could do, other than watch the DVD. And of course, when the new production started the tour, I got my mother and I a set of tickets and dragged her down to see the show. [Even though she's already seen it with the original cast!] I'll admit that I do know every word of POTO and most of it's sequel Love Never Dies. Interesting enough, my Yorkshire Terrier is named Phantom after the production.
As for education, we take on three classes of our choice as well as our complusory classes like English Language, Science and Maths. I chose History, French and Business. However I'm also studying Law through a long distance learning organisation. I plan on studying European Law and becoming a Barrister in Criminal Law, however I'm big into charity work and I'm dying to dip my feet into human rights, even more so for women in disadvantage countries. Angelina Jolie is one of my few modern day icons, as most are from the 'old hollywood' period of time, because of her charity work and her involvement with the United Nations with regards to Humanitarian Work.
Yep, I think I've said enough now. If you have any questions then please feel free to ask them.
