The Basics
+1 Name: Lorna.
+2 Age: 18.
+3 Gender: Female.
+4 Location: England, UK.
+5 Dating Status: Single, Not looking.
+6 Describe yourself: Outspoken, loud, honest, colourful and opinionated. I respect that everyone has different views and never try impose my views onto others. I have a diverse variety of friends, I possess an optimistic outlook on life and respect strong people who can stand their own ground. I admire intelligence and hate ignorrance.
+7 Greatest Achievement: This is hard. I could tell you what I believe is my greatest achievement, but it is quite personal. It is quite hard to say, but I believe that my greatest achievement is to have remained strong despite the abuse I receieved from my own mother for several years. I wont go into details, because it is stll quite a raw subject, but i do not mind discussing it too much. I think the abuse I suffered has affected the way I view women, and it took me years to get my self-esteem back fully. My dad fought for custody and was denied it (good old british justice NOT!) and only gained custody of me and brother when my mum decided to move and shack up with her new husband 200 miles away. This is why I support many child abuse support groups today, and why I think my attitude to life has changed. I have finally been given a shot at living my life the way I deserve to. I have overcome being bulimic and would gladly help others in similar situations. I wasnt bulimic simply because I wanted to lose weight. I just was not happy with myself. I think bulimia goes hand-in-hand with low self-esteem.
+8 What do you do in your spare time: Play the electric guitar, the piano, watch football, gigs, movies, meeting my mates, photography, singing and studying to be a nurse.
Opinions
+9 Abortion: I am pro-choice. If a person is not ready for kids and believes that they could not offer the security, protection and unconditional love that every child deserves, then they should make a decision whether or not to see the pregnancy through. If they could not face abortion, then the woman may offer the baby for adoption, which is beneficial to a childless couple.
+10 Death Penalty: This is gonna shake up some people's feathers, but I believe that if a person is a cold-blooded murderer with no remorse, then they do not deserve to live. If they have repeatedly killed others and clearly have no repect towards life, then they should die. If someone had murdered someone I loved, and showed no remorse, then I would wish them dead. I know it sounds harsh, and I do believe in forgiveness, but in some cases, it is hard to forgive and some people sadly, are cold hearted killers. Look at Hitler. Would we let him off the hook? no.
+11 Organized Religion: For some people it gives them personal strength in difficult times. However, when you get two people hating each other purely on the grounds of religion, then that is where religion is failing. For instance, the catholic/protestant divide in Ireland. I think Faith itself is a good thing, but I personally do not believe in religion. Why should homosexuals go to hell? Why should Jehova Witnesses not accept blood transfusions when it could save their lives? When religion stops you living your life fully and gets in the way, I would have to say no.
+12 Chocolate: Hell Yes! I love it! And Freddos are surely the kings of the chocolate world!
Favorites/Dislikes (yes. there are two answers for each question)
+13 Book: favourite: Angela's ashes. The beautiful irish wit! Dislikes: I cannot remember a shit book. If its crap, I just forget about it. What is the point of remebering crap stuff?
+14 Movie: favourites: Pirates of the Caribbean, Shawshank Redemption. Dislikes: Gigli.
+15 Band/Singer: Favourites: The Cure, Vast. So Brilliantly Unique! Dislikes: J-lo.
+16 Type of music: I love most things, but gangsta rap does my head in, and all this flat-manufactured boring stuff that is kicking about at the moment. Music should make you feel emotion and make you wanna sing loudly when you are drunk!
+17 Sport: Fave: Football, speedway, superbikes, rugby and hockey. Dislikes: Cricket and golf.
+18 Food: Fave: Pasta, chocolate, cheese and marshmallows (but not all together!) Dislikes: Corn beef! thinking about it makes me sick.
