I haven't developed any yet. I'm thinking that perhaps in the future, once I'll get rid of all the posters off my walls. I'll develop my photographs and post them up in nice little frames, until than I'll have my posters.

I'm Joanne, but everyone calls me Joey. I'll be 21 in a couple of weeks, and I live in London.

I'm a medic, and I'm really interested in medicine and politics. I protest frequently. I was doing medical cover on the G8 action in Gleneagles when we dropped the fence and ran into the red zone. Was an army medic, few years back.

I like HP and LOTR. I like languages. I like rugby, but I rarely get the time to watch and I haven't played in years. I love poetry, both reading and writing, and have had work published. I love listening to music, and I like walking through the park. I do a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking and climbing, and I try to get out as often as possible.

Lo all! My name is Lauren, I'm 15, a budding thesbian, speed-reader, pi-mad Yorkshire/Scottish lass. Pi, for example, =3.141592653589793238462643383279... I read Half-Blood Prince twice in just under six hours. I played Miss Prism in the production of The Importance of Being Earnest.

PS most of my school deem me clinically mad...

hahaha...you must be pretty mad to quote pi to that decimal place....just wait till you learn to do it in continuous fractions...then you will know you have completely lost your mind...

Thanks, that makes me feel much better :grin:
But seriously, if you heard my laugh you would understand why the school thinks I'm insane.
I'm working on decimals of a kind:
1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32,...

Thanks!
By the way, pi is really cool IF your cousins' boyfriend has done maths, further maths, even more maths...(you get the idea)& he challenges you to recite pi for a round of drinks for 12 people. (He thought he was soooo smart being 22 & me being 10). So, he does it to 8 places- good for most people- but then I do it to 30 & he spends the next half hour staring at me because I've beaten him at something he's really good at :grin:
Yeah, you could call me a maths wizz- I mean do you know the trick for the 11 times tables? For example 11x63=693. How do I know? Look at the digits of 63. If you add them together, you get 9. If you put this new number inbetween the original numbers, you get it's eleventh multiplication! (Only works up to 11x99=1089- if you get a two digit number from the addition, you add the first digit of the new number to the first digit of the original number: 9+9=18, 9+1=10, 108)

Well, I want to take a biological sciences degree at university, but maths will always be my secret love- along with singing & acting.

I wanted to do plant biology untill I realised I couldn;t do that without doing two years of human and animal biology...disecting road kill and frogs and stuff....was not gonna happen...too squeamish...did pure maths instead.
