Hi, I know I'm kinda behind the fashion with this, but I've been meaning to do it for some time. I'm going to do this one quickly in my spare time, so sorry if I tend to ramble of don't give a particular area much attention.

Name: Niamh (pronounced Neev).
Age: 17
Country: Australia (I live in Western Australia. YEAH, SUMMER!!!)
Family: Mum and Dad (divorced, with new partners), and a younger sister.
Pets: My dog Taffy, the step-dad's dog Sasha, and the cat Bella. There's also two dogs at Dad's; Butch and Zac.

General and Random Info about me:
I'm average height with green-hazel eyes and dark blonde hair.
I'm quite smart, and enjoy school, and I'm planning to start universiteit in late February.
I like to spurt random facts out whenever someone mentions something in conversation (e.g. if someone mentions a certain animal, I'll randomly say a fact about that animal off the top, boven of my head).
My birthday is American Independence Day!! According to MalloMar, that's a win even though I'm not American :)

Friends:
I have 3 good vrienden that I've been vrienden with for 5 years now, and I can really trust them, then there's a heap meer that I can easily talk to, but don't trust as much simply because I don't know them as well.

Favourite Books/Authors:
I love The Hunger Games, the Divergent trilogy, Harry Potter, Cynthia Hand's trilogy "Unearthly", Jodi Picoult always writes some interesting books, and I am currently reading the Mistborn series.

Favourite TV Shows:
I LOVE The Big Bang Theory (I have two posters of it :D). I also like HIMYM, Bones, Castle, Winners and Losers (Aussie toon for what is probably the majority of u who haven't heard of it) and Once Upon a Time is growing on me (who am I kidding? Almost finished the first two seasons in about a month!)

Favourite Movies:
Too many!!! Ugh, Rise of the Guardians is really good, and I love The Avengers movies. The Ice Age films are good as well. There's just too many to name!!!

Favourite Bands/Singers:
Again, too many!!! I really enjoy listening to Muse, and I love Birds of Tokyo (local but nationally populair band) (on the side, I saw these two perform a few weeks geleden when Muse hit Aus. BoT was Muse's opening act. It was awesome!!) I also like The Cab, OneRepublic, The Script, Enya, Mumford & Sons, and many others.


Favourite Animal:
The African Painted Dog!! OMG, I love them so much! They're so cute as an animal, but it's not just that which makes them so awesome. They have a very diverse pack structure, and they all care for the sick and elderly, rather than just leaving them to die. They're efficient hunters, and although their methods of killing prey (something along the lines of going for the gut and blood vessels rather than the throat) are portrayed as unethical, it's actually been studied and zei to be less painful for the prey and a quicker kill than what the lions do (suffocate, I think?). They're just such an interesting animal, and the semi-local zoo had some puppies last year, and I got to see them!!! *fangirl squeal*


My Hobbies:
I love to read. I can be absorbed door almost any fiction book aimed at young adults, and also some adult fiction.
I also like to do puzzles. Word puzzles, maths puzzles, doesn't matter, I love all of them (except cryptic crosswords. I don't get those...)
I like to draw, but often can't find either the time of the motivation to do so. When I do, I spend ages on a particular drawing, until I think it's done.
I am also quite musical, and have been playing the flute for 6 years (hence my username, hajirah4 :P). Throughout high school, I was a main member of the Celtic Band. I joined in jaar 8, when it started, and have left now that I have graduated, although I do like to kom bij in when the guys tell me about gigs. I also play the penny whistle, am a beginner at both piano and gitaar (my sister just gave me hers, coz she don't want it no more!!), and I want to get a ukulele after Christmas :) I sang in the school choir, up until I graduated almost 2 months geleden :)


Future Career Aspects:
I want to work somewhere in either physics of chemistry. I have been told that I am smart enough to handle engineering, but that kind of bores me. There's this one job that I really like the sound of though: mining companies tell u what they need a chemical to do, then u go to the lab and actually try to make that chemical!! That'd be awesome for me: combining my chemistry smarts and my liking for puzzles and problems, and earning money for it!!

Random info about my life right now:
u may have seen on the club uithangbord that I have to verplaats house this weekend, into a much better area of town. Nowhere near the stupid loud highway, and the internet is apparently 3 times faster there than it is where I am now. Also, where I'm moving is a 10 minuut walk from one of my 3 good friends' house :D
I greatly dislike my step-dad, simply because he is a bigot (racist, sexist, anti-religion, etc. all rolled into one), lazy, pessimistic and an extremist (leaves for somewhere early, yet still speeds as though he's going to be late, just as an example).
I go on holiday with my family about 4 hours north every January, and I'm really looking vooruit, voorwaarts to this summer's holiday.
I'm going to Sydney just after getting back from up north (literally, 2-3 days after) for a 5 dag holiday with Mum, sister, aunt and grandparents.

Anyway, sorry for rambling, and thanks for reading :D
