The SI Forum. Who are we?
 
I got this idea from the ED forum, and I think we should have one in here too, a thread where you can introduce yourself, say what makes you you, make friends, whatever you like :)

THE ONLY RULE


YOU CAN'T MENTION SI

So, I'll go first?

I'm Beth / Bee
I'm nearly 16
I play flute and piano, and a bit of saxophone
I love sad songs
My best friends mean more to me than is imaginable
I feel like I'm not good enough, and that I never will be




Nice to meet you :)

Hi. My name is Dan, I'm 20. I live near(ish) Newcastle.

I live at home (unfortunatley.) and recently finished working.

I love music. Love love love. If I'm not blasting it on my stereo, It's on my laptop, and if it's not on my laptop, I'll have my Shure earphones in my ears. :tongue2:

I'm an avid drinker, I notabley downed a pint in around 3 seconds.

Hmm, not a lot else to say really. I also love video games.

shadow-light 03-07-2009 11:20 AM

I'm Hazel

I'm 22 (yep, I;m old :cry: ) I live in Aberdeen with my boyfriend. We are both students, and both originally from England, but as we spend about 45 weeks for the year here and rent 12 months of the year I say we live here :hehe:

I LOVE cooking and baking, but we have a tiny kitchen right now so don't get to do it too often... we are moving at the end of the month though and have a FANTASTIC kitchen at the new place :-D

I also play the flute and the fife. I tried to learn the guitar, but it hurts my fingers lol

reeding through everyone elses... I think I could take Dan in a downing match :P . I was in the OTC and had the reputation of the "fastest downing female", I don't drink too often but I do get into downing matches far too regularly :ermm:

erm... I study physiology and I hope to do medicine afterwards :woot: meaning I shall be a student for a long time yet lol


that's all I can think of :P

Schleier von Dunst 03-07-2009 12:56 PM

Hi :-)

I'm Sarah and I'm 16 and 8 months. I just finished my last year of school, but I'm going to go back next year to 6th form.

I Play the Flute (and piccolo), Saxophone (plus variations on a theme), Clarinet and Piano and I have grade 8 in one subject, soon to be two.

When I leave school I want to become a musician and play in West End Pit Orchestras. Failing that, or possibly as well, I'd like to be in the London Symphony Orchestra or the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

I like writing. I write short stories and poems, although I have been writing a longer Autobiographical thingymabob.

My parents like to think that I get on with them well, but I don't think we do. We have way too many arguments, although they don't usually last too long.

I have a 19 year old brother called David, who's at The University of Cumbria in Carlisle, studying for something which will eventually make him a Junior school teacher.

I have 2 cats called Pippa and Charlie and a Jack Russell Terrier called Jack.

For anyone who wants to, my MSN, Skype, Facebook and Myspace links are in my profile, although I'm not very often on Myspace or Skype.

Enough about me.
Sarah

Piglet 03-07-2009 03:31 PM

Hi everyone nice to meet you.

I'm Gemma and i'm 24.

I moved to Northampton from Suffolk 4 years ago when i started uni there. I'm due to graduate in a few months then will be out into the big wide world.

One of my biggest passions is music, I started dance (Ceroc) lessons a few months ago and am really getting into it, it's amazing fun.

I really enjoy reading. I love books by Jodi Piccoult, Kathy Reichs and Johathan Kellerman.

I also love to cook. I started to teach myself when i left home and now have quite a range of recipies under my belt.

Anyway that's enough about me ...

The Fantastical 03-07-2009 04:28 PM

Hi everyone.

My name is Sally and I'm 19. I live in Surrey down in the south of England.

I tend to lurk on RYL as I am really quite shy and won't talk to anyone unless they talk to me first (and even then there might not be much of a reply). I'm even worse in real life and tend to always be on my own.

I'm just about to finish my first year at sixth form (better two years late than never I guess...) and hope to go to university to study English after.

~IntoxicatedRainbow 03-07-2009 06:52 PM

Hi all. ^^

I'm Rebecca and I'm 13 years old. (Wow, I feel so young O.O) I live in the Netherlands.

I'm going to 3th class of highschool next schoolyear (August 24th).

I love music, drawing, writing, and just sitting in my room by the window, watching the birds fly over the houses. Also love to lie down in the grass and listen to the birds, trees, the wind and everything around me.

I enjoy reading a lot. I love to read a good book and just get sucked into the story, not being able to stop reading until I finish the book. I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and some Dutch books. :]

I've got two sisters. One older than me (15) and one as old as I am, my twinsister.

I also love learning new languages. ^.^ I learn English, German, French, Greek and Latin (and Dutch. =P) at school, and I want to learn Japanese, Portuguese and Serbian in the summer hollidays. =D Or try, at least.

Intaytia 03-07-2009 07:13 PM

StoneTeller 04-07-2009 02:51 PM

I'm not a frequent poster, I'm more of a lurker, reading posts but most of the time I think it is worthless to post something if I have nothing to add.

But who I am, that is a question I think I can answer.

My name is Rui, but my friends call me stone.
I'm 18...
As for my name you might have guessed this, but if not, I live in Portugal.
I got an splendid imagination, or at least that's what people keep telling me, I can come up with a story in seconds, featuring space ships, or elfs, all mighty creatures you can imagine and mix it all up. So some friends also call me Storyteller and say I should be one.
I love to write and to draw.
And I love to cook.
I play Piano and Synthesizer. In the piano I love to play Jazz, in my Synth I love to play Metal.
I speak three languages fluently - Portuguese, Spanish and English. And I know some French and Italian.

I think that's all about me, I'm not very interesting...

RainbowVeins202 04-07-2009 04:22 PM

My name is Ryan. I'm a 17 year old girl.
I've been riding horses for 7 years, although this past year I haven't ridden as much because I've been so tired and unmotivated, which I feel constantly guilty for because it isn't fair to my horse, Carolina, who I love so unbelievably much because she is truely amazing.
My best friend is also amazing, and I don't know what I'd do without her. Things have changed some between us in the past few months as I've gone down hill but we're still super close.
I'm still trying to figure out who I am... I really have no idea. I don't know if I am like I was a year ago, super happy and upbeat, but terribly shy, or tired and depressed but more out going?
so yeah. I don't know who I am yet. But I'm more hopeful than I used to be that eventually I'll find out and be ok again.
sorry this is so long.

AutumnMoon 04-07-2009 07:12 PM

This is a good idea!

I'm Jodie, 17 (nearly 18) and live in S.W England. I love music, anime, manga, photography and reading Jodi Picoult. I've been with my bf for 15 months now, and he means more than anything to me, and family is also very important as well. Erm... I don't really have any idea what I want to do in life. Get a book or two published, travel the world and appear briefly in a movie would be quiet nice but yeah, very much doubt that would happen. So yeah~ no idea what path my future (which I detest thinking about) is taking. Oh well; one day a time...?

Nice to meet you all!

xx

megzie1994 04-07-2009 07:22 PM

I'm Megan, 15 years old.

i'm on the swim team and i run a lot (the running is pushed on to me from my eating disorder but i guess i still enjoy it.)

i also believe i am not good enough, and i never will be. No matter what i do, nothing is ever good enough for anyone including myself.

i have a cute little pug! and a big mean german shepherd, but they get along alright.

i love making new friends.

loveishere 04-07-2009 07:49 PM

I love to make things and knit and sew and anything crafty. I love to cook.

I JUST turned 15 two days ago...yeah i'm young on here.
i'll be going into 10th grade next year.. uh i'm a SERIOUS perfectionist
I love purple, and to most people's surprise, i actually like green too

Despite some rather boyish qualities, i do have this thing for hair and styling. I'd make a good stylest, but I'd much rather go into building things that fly

Twisted Fate 04-07-2009 08:19 PM

All the cool people do that (Y)

I'm Katie. I'm 21.
I go to uni in Brighton and study aeronautical engineering.
Most people think I'm really dim and ditzy until I tell them that :P
I love most forms of alternative music, and also psy-trance.
I do lots of things I shouldn't. It's a good life.
I love rainbows and all things colourful, they make me happy.
Brighton is the first place I've felt like I've belonged and never want to leave.
Amsterdam is my second favourite city.
Live music is one of the best things in the world so far as I'm concerned.
I'm allergic to cats and dogs, so one day I'd like house bunnies and a pig.
Most people think I'm weird, and I'm OK with that :)

I dislike social situations.
Sorry, I hate social situations.

I wish I could play the drums. And draw. I'd love to be able to draw well.
My Mother thought that I had Asperger's Syndrome when I was a nipper, and sometimes I still think that I do.

Hey,

I'm kerri but alot of people call me kizzy or kiz. It came from my mothers fav book when she was younger called 'roots'. I think i've had that nickname since i was born and i like it.

I'm 22 yrs and live in a nice big flat in east anglia with my husband.
I work in a crappy factory but have some really awesome friends there. I love all my friends so much and love making new ones.

I'm a little of a screw up but and slowly trying to work all of that out and sort out all these problems.

Well thats me, feel free to ask if you wanna know anything else.

This was a fantastic idea.
I am also a lurker here. I read a lot of posts, but I rarely reply. I don't really have anything constructive to say, and I rarely have anything specific to ask.
I am also 23 and I am also a teacher, although I teach the little ones. I don't think I could handle teaching children over the age of 12.
I am happiest when I am with my classroom of kiddos, despite how challenging that may be.
I am married (it's a challenge) and I have a storybook-sized golden retriever.
I love movies and good stories.
I am obsessed with Smashing Pumpkins, Silversun Pickups, and The Beatles; however, I do like a wide variety of other music. :)
I'm planning on getting my first tattoo (sp related of course) soon.
It's nice to get to know everyone.
