Me.
So I thought I better do an intro post because of new friends and possible future new friends as well. This is me! Well its the most recent and accurate photo of me anyway Minus the bowtie,I bloody lost it D:
I'm Louisa. I'm Scottish, I was born in 1986 and I'm a Ravenclaw [Or sometimes Slytherclaw/Gryffinclaw depending on who you ask XD] I lived with my parents Carol Ann and Tom and my wee sister, Anna until July of last year when I moved out with my best friend, Kate. I don't really get on with a lot of my extended family but I'm close with my aunt [Mum's sister] and her daughter, Laura who is 8 and probably one of my best friends as well XD
This is Kate and this is what happens when we watch Iron Man in our flat XD
I talk about Kate a lot. We've known each other since we were around 13/14. We became best friends when a mutual friend went on holiday and we were sort of all each other had. I was lost for a whole year when she went to Japan to teach English. I met her at the end of her contract and we traveled. Lots of photos here on my flickr.
I have studied Television before and that period of college was an experience. I think the stuff that went down really shaped who I am today. I decided that industry wasn't for me and I am now studying professional cookery and I hope to specialise in patisserie :)
Interests since a lot of my friendships on here are forged through fandom etc.
Films and TV, food [CAKE AND TEA mostly], photography [follow me on instagram! My ID is bespectacledmermaid], reading, writing, dolls and figures, traveling, gaming, tattoos and piercings, FACIAL HAIR, clothes [regular stuff and costumes/cosplay. I'm really getting into Disneybounding as well].
Films

TV
Hawaii Five-0, Criminal Minds, CSI NY, Sherlock, Elementary, Luther, Arrested Development, Supernatural, Jackie Chan Adventures, CSI Miami [though I gave up on like season 6?], Top Gear, Anything Hairy Bikers related, Cake Boss, Scooby Doo, Avatar: The Legend of Aang.

Dolls and figures
Lego, Monster High, Marvel, Disney, few other random ones. I'm currently waiting on the HotToys Agent Coulson to arrive. Really cannot afford him atm by when I saw he was being released in the UK I just had to. Thats what credit cards are for, right? XD
Traveling
I want to visit so many places. So far I have been to:
The U.S. - New York [twice]
Switzerland - Stayed in a place called Adelboden when I was in ranger guides. That was a wonderful trip. Getting there and back was a nightmare however because we had to get a bus. Which we then had to share with a bunch of rowdy scouts.
Spain - Malaga, Benalmadena [my grandparents have a flat there] and Gibraltar, though thats technically still the UK XD. I also visited Nice and Monaco [okay not Spain :p] Barcelona, Malaga, Gibraltar and Cadiz when I was lucky enough to go on a tall ship when I was 17. IT WAS AMAZEBALLS.
Egypt - Sharm El Sheik. Never again. It was okay for about a week, but being stuck in a resort in the middle of the fucking desert drove me nuts. We did go snorkelling which was awesome and quad biking in the aforementioned desert was rather fabulous too.
Italy - Rome, Pisa and this teeny weeny village called Lugliano. Rome and Pisa weren't all that amazing but the village was lovely.
Japan - Hitachinaka [where Kate lived whilst she taught] Mito, Tokyo [omfg DISNEY WAS MIND BLOWING, Hiroshima [beautiful city. An odd mix because of the atom bomb stuff and also really good nightlife. Miyajima was also spectacular], Kyoto [temples EVERYWHERE. Also from their we visited Nara, a random town for a ninja museum and Fukishima Inari which is this amazing place with 10,000 tori gates all lined up] and Osaka.
Gaming
My favourite consoles are my PS3 and 3DS. Games - Uncharted Series, Mario Kart, Lego Pirates, LotR and HP. I cannot wait for Marvel Heroes. Skyrim, Tekken, Skylanders [always loved Spyro and Croc], Tetris [I haven't played it in years], COD: Modern Warfare series, Tomb Raider 2013, anything Cooking Mama, Batman Arkham. I enjoy the CSI PC and console games. Luigi's Mansion 2 was adorable from what I played and I really want to get into Pokemon properly. I am currently addicted to Avengers Alliance on FB.
Tattoos and piercings
LOVE THEM. I currently have 12 piercings and 3 tattoos. I really want to add to the tattoos but severe lack of funds stops me.
Feel free to ask about anything on here or post a short intro of yourself in the comments :D
