Might as well start here.

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
Year 11.5 (going into year 12 this year). I'm currently studying Advance English, Mathematics, Studies of Religion II, Biology, Business Studies, and Modern History.

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
Pacific Rim for the longest time (the scientists annoyed me to no measurable end), but I've come to enjoy the movie.
Mind if I mention a TV show instead? Because Under The Dome was terrible. Plain terrible. While the first season was alright, it went downhill from there. Halfway through the second season, they were able to leave the dome, but Big Jim decided to screw everything up and trap them once more. PLUS, the ending of season 2 had them leaving the dome... and there was still an entire season afterwards. Under the Dome was truly one train wreck after another.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Probably a baseball bat, though it's likely I would lose it within 3 days of the apocalypse starting.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
Someone that future me, as well as my family and friends will be proud of. I'd like to achieve my best, as clique as it may sound.

5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Meh, I'll do it later.

Fun fact: whenever I have to hang washing out, I put it in a basket, put it in front of my bedroom door, then when I go to bed at 3am I kick the basket to remind me I have to hang washing out. Classic stitch up

Oh my gosh yes to those horrible movies with famous idols!! That's why I normally watch Chinese movies from the 1990s- the humor and badassness back then was so much better than most modern movies and tv shows. My whole family are Chow Yun Fat fans. Absolutely love his movies, especially God of Gamblers. Do you watch movies in Cantonese or Mandarin?  Hahaha if you're a nerd you'll fit perfectly into Atarnotes :)

I agree with this- I watched this and it is in fact more cringe-worthy than I!

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
I just started year 12 and I do Advanced English, Maths General, Biology, Modern History, French continuers and Extension History.
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
'Buried' because it doesn't have a happy ending and the entire setting is underground, in a wodden coffin, in half-darkness, with a guy stuck in it.
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Can the weapon be magical? If so a magical sword that can 'kill' zombies with even a little cut. If not I'm screwed.
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
I would like to learn lots, travel everywhere, help people and be content.
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
"What did you say sorry I zoned out?"

When they say late start, they probably don't mean a year late. Or two; I forget which.

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
Currently in Year 12, taking Advanced English, Mathematics Extension 1, Biology, Physics and Chemistry.

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
This is probably a very poorly informed judgement, because I haven't watched too many movies. Oh! Fifty Shades of Grey; there's a general consensus on that. Stale acting, rote romance and shoddy puppet-like characters aside, it misrepresented an already ostracised community pretty horrifically. Not to mention how hard it was to keep a grasp on my suspension of disbelief. And that sequence with Ellie Goulding's song was like, so much wow...I had ascended to a higher plane existence at that point. Or lower. Probably lower. Down into the carpet fibres.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
I'm feeling so attacked right now - first movies, then a zombie apocalypse? Um...having a machine gun fitted with tranquilliser darts sounds like a good idea. Are zombies affected by depressants? I hear they can't be killed. Anything that I don't have to aim is good; my aim is as sharp as my goal is defined, which is to say it's nonexistent.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
This has changed a lot over time, and continues to. I know that I want to be a figure of guidance and hope and comfort for the people who need it. I want to make the privileges I've had access to available for those who have not, as well as the ones I haven't had access to. I want to make a difference for the people who are overshadowed by the loud colours and elaborate plans and thrumming urgencies of our world. My story is small, and limited, and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but I like to think there's some tiny part of it that no one else has to tell, that no one else has shared yet, and that by using that experience I can give the people I see myself in a world of hopes and opportunities. It's an obscure goal, but it's as close to an achievement as I'll ever set.

5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Three lines should suffice, yes? I started off with a burning passion for success and evolved that into a burning passion for enlightenment. Then came a lot of doubts and uncertainties about the stuff I'd held as absolutes in my life, as is the way of things. I ran away into the horizon, where fandom embraced me. Now I'm trying to find a way out of the cesspool I've drowned myself in, with store-bought hormones to help me along.

Hi
