      • In response to: "What's the one thing you're never gonna give up?" I'm never going to give up movies. I love watching them and talking about them. They fascinate me and have inspired me to become an actress.

    • You'll find a stack of 'Empire' magazines about my house!
      • Empire
        This is a monthly movie magazine which has, reviews, interviews and the latest news about movies in production.
        I love movies so this is the perfect thing to keep me up to date on everything movie related. The reviews are always superbly written and detailed, which helps me decide on the movies I should take a look at, though I usually watch what I want sometimes disagreeing with a review.
        Though I am an avid reader of Empire, over the passing months the magazine seems to have gotten thinner and at the same time more expensive. this is really my only complaint about the magazine though and I highly recommend it to movie lovers.

    • Why I gave up on "The Silmarillion"
      • My rather unepic story about my failure to read a book!

        I started this book with high expectations that I would finish. I'd read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, so I thought why not try one of J.R.R. Tolkien's other classics.
        How wrong was I! I started reading the first chapter and after 3 pages I was completly confused as to what was happening. I decided to stick at it, I thought perhaps if I continued it would make more sense. but it didn't, so leaving the unfinished chapter I went about my business.
        I came back to the book later on and tried to continue from where I left off, but that was no good either. I started again but with no more success than the first time round.
        So I gave up, it's sitting in the book shelf inbetween Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams and that is where it will stay.

    • My nickname (well..sort of)
      • Well it's not really a nickname more of a mispronounciation. My last name seems to remind people of the Sound of Music and so when they hear it instead of repeating it correctly they say Von Trap. Or another one is Von Tramp, which is sort of a combination of the two. I don't really mind, but it gets annoying sometimes though, like when I'm at school and though I've been there for years now, they still spell it incorrectly!
