HarriPanda Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Well my name is HarriPanda, known as Koneko on some places, but I prefer Harri. I am 19, originally from Ellesmere Port:The home of the Astra (Factory is now closed though). I now live in Northampton. I am an amicable lass, I tend to be a bit hyper though. It scares people a lot. And I mean...A LOT. I look like this sometimes: I will no doubt be wearing my hair falls at C10 though, and have blue/pink fluffy hair. I will also be dressed as a token Magical Girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurntKona Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Suppose I best jump in here. Jon, 29. Been through the mill a few times. Grew up East Sussex/Kent area, did my university education in Bournemouth, spent a few years in Sheffield, travelled a bit, came back and ended up in Bristol. For a living, I'm the lead artist in a small videogame studio. Means I get to make pretty pictures all day and boss people around. What more could a guy ask for? Always been a Sci-Fi/Fantasy film fan (might explain how I ended up in computer graphics), although it has only been recently that I have been allowing my geekiness full flow, with several costume projects on the go. You may have seen one of them. I was the guy wondering around as a Colonial Marine at C10 on the Sunday. Otherwise, it's gaming (bit of a busmans holiday, but still love it), mountain biking, rock climbing when I get the chance, and I'll like to take up fencing again. Music wise - scary industrial noise and EBM are my sounds to stomp to choices. Front 242, Covenant, Converter, Funker Vogt, Panzer AG... *looks of bewilderment from everyone* Anyway, I guess a picture. When I met Godzilla in Tokyo. I't always the same, they always seem smaller when you meet them in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorrorHound Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Paul, 25, The Artist Formerly Known as 'TheTallMan' in another realm of existence. I am everything I know how to be. I have made a lot of wrong decisions in my life, but I know I have also made some right ones. I am not one for regrets; I believe things happen for a reason and that we are the bearers of our own inevitability. I am a strong believer that love conquers all. Be true love, the love of family or the love of friends, nothing else matters when you feel it implicitly. My passions are my everything. From an early age I was allowed to appreciate the art of film; importantly the thrill of horror movies. I saw my first horror movie aged 3-years-old and it captivated me. I needed more. My parents (bless them) did not want me to jump straight in to the 'video nasties' material, if you will, so in order to still give me what I desired while at the same time nurture my sensibilities, I was introduced to the silent classics of Lon Chaney and the emaculate Universal Studios horrors of the 1930s and 40s. Before long they could not keep me away from the horror section in the local video store and movies such as 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' and 'Friday The 13th' became a regular feature in our video player. It was not until I saw The Exorcist for the first time on the big screen that the true power of cinema really hit me. I had seen the movie a dozen times on video, but for some reason I came out of that screening shaking. I was terrified, but I did not no why. I am not a man of faith, never have been, however I am not a sceptic either. The Exorcist really hit a nerve with me and I truly believe that while it wasn't a revelation as far as religion or faith are concerned, it certainly posed a question that there just has to be something beyond the reality that we are accustomed to; that there is 'something beyond comprehension' that we as a being, as a race, as a brotherhood cannot even begin to explain. I think that prospect excited me to a degree and the fact that this eye opener had been brought to my attention through a work of fiction - a flicker on the big screen - was just spellbinding. After seeing The Exorcist I started doing write ups for kicks, after a while I came to realise that there was money to be made in the field of horror journalism and so submitted my work to various listings magazine - and was published quite a few times. I took it that step further and studied the 'History Of Film' as a BA Honours degree in 2000 at the University Of East London - which apart from the great friends I made was the BIGGEST waste of three years and money! Failing to get back in print for a long while after, I decided to take matters in to my own hands, and in 2003 created 'Celluloidshockers.com', which was the UK's most comprehensive resource to horror cinema. While running the site and getting chummy with local 'event coordinators' I got to hang out and interview such horror legends as Robert Englund, Tom Savini, George Romero, Doug Bradley, Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, Stan Winston - name a few. Great memories with some great people. Right now I'm writing regularly for a quarterly released American based horror magazine called 'HorrorHound'. We are only on our 5th issue of the magazine but the future is extremely bright so without trying to sound too cliched, do watch this space - http://www.horrorhound.com. On the flipside of the coin, I am a great lover of music. From an early age I would sit with my dad and listen to bands and artists such as Dire Straits, The Beatles, Steely Dan, Gary Moore, Genesis and 10cc. Independent from my father's influences I was a big fan of Michael Jackson at an early age, something that has crossed over into adulthood - I don't care how he lives his life, I enjoy his music. In 2001 I took an unexpected leap into DJing. In five short years I took the leap from wedding jockey to becoming one of South London's most respected white 'Urban' DJs - how it happened still baffles me considering how street I am NOT. I have DJed in Rhodes for a short while but realised that it was not for me. I now DJ every Friday and Saturday night - an 80s bar in Croydon and a 'trendy' bar in Kingston Upon-Thames. Over the years I had developed a keen ear for The Beatles. My dad was a fan of Paul McCartney (in fact, I was named after him) and my mother always told the story of how seeing them at the Fairfield Halls in 1964 was one of her most treasured childhood memories. As the years progressed I would discover tracks from the 'Fab Four' that I had not previously heard, and the more MP3 space I could acquire the more of my dad's albums I would raid. Shortly before my 25th birthday I felt in a rut... dead end job, no love life and the feeling that my life lacked forward momentum... I started listening to more and more of The Beatles music and more especially the stuff that heavily featured John Lennon - a historic figure-head who's solo music I was already greatly fond of. Through the internet I started downloading old music videos and live performances and then video and audio interviews of Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono. After seeing the reaction to his death by the world through various new reports I downloaded, I went back to his music and almost instantly the message hit me as hard as a bitch slap from a 500-pound sumo... '...love is all you need'. Before that moment, they were simply words; however after that moment, it became a way of life. I believe that there is a positive message to everything John ever put in song, be it 'isn't it great to be in love' or 'hey, the world is s*** and life is a drag but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we will all pull through together', the messages are there. Now a day does not pass where I do not listen to the words of John Lennon or sing (to myself) the lyrics of John Lennon. A legend has truly touched my heart and given me a different view point on love and has shown me that I have so much to look forward to when I experience real love. I have found faith in hope and love and for that I will be forever thankful. To sum myself up, I am a walking contradiction. I yearn for peace and love more than anything on this Earth yet I love a good (or trashy) horror movie, I am SO anti-drugs yet I am SO pro-choice, I am the spectrum at the end of both poles; I am Ying... I am Yang. Though that does not mean I am a complicated person, what you see is what you get. No hidden agendas. I live to make people laugh. I guess you could say I'm an entertainer at heart. As I admitted in the first line, I have taken a lot of things for granted in the past but learning from our mistakes makes us stronger people. I like the cold side of the pillow, a creative mind, an intimate conversation that you don't realise has lasted over 4 hours, chip butties, horror movies, passion, vodka, a song that reminds me of a happy memory, Bathing Ape/Baby Milo/BBC, laughing till it hurts, the dark, can be quite forgetful, the dark, drinking with people who genuinely have something to say (they make awesome drunks), Quavers (watch out they taste curley), political uncorrectness (yes, I know I spelt it wrong... get it?), reverse psychology (don't read on, I dare you), positive and warm gestures and feeling humble.

AnnieHarbuckle Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hey guys, Thought I'd come and introduce myself to ya'll and to catch up with the people I've not spoken to in a while. My name is Anna but everyone calls me Annie which I prefer really. I live in a town called Rochdale which isn't too far fromManchester. I'm 21 years old and I've just finished a 3 year Media degree with a public relations minor at Sheffield Hallam University. I got a 2.2 and I'm chuffed to bits! Was so convinced that I'd have to resit some stuff, but then again I suppose I was just preparing myself for the worst! I'm working at ASDA at the moment which doesn't sound too impressive... well... it isn't really! But I've just got a new job there as the events co-ordinator and personal assistant to the store manager. I get to wear my own polo shirt that has 'Events Co-ordinator' written on it and it's red, not bright 'will-make-you-blind-if-you-stare-at-it-too-long' green. YAY!! My main responsibilities in store as the events co-ordinator include dealing with charities and groups in the local community, marketing for the store and events instore for new products, special seasons and general fun for staff colleagues (hate that word!) and customers. Found out yesterday that through the events I organised the store raised £1465.31 for Tickled Pink breast cancer charities! I'm well chuffed! Ok, now I've stopped boring you all with work stuff I'll get onto the other stuff in my life. The main thing that most people seem to be interested in about me is that I'm Ukrainian. My grandparents came over to the UK after the 2nd World War and settled here. The Ukrainians that came over here set up a community so that they could continue the Ukrainian traditions and feel a little more comfortable in a new country. Well, the traditions have been upheld and I'm so happy they have been because I dunno where I'd be without them. I do Ukrainian dancing and celebrate traditional ukrainian holidays and I belong to the Ukrainian Youth Association of Great Britain. I also love performing. Not only do I do Ukrainian dancing I love to sing, act and dance in musicals. I've not been on stage for such a long time but when I am I feel at home. I've been in many musicals including 'FAME!', 'Bugsy Malone' and 'Annie' (and no, I didn't play Annie, I was too old at the time!). I had main parts in 'Brigadoon' where played Fiona and 'Hello Dolly!' where I actually was Dolly! I got a Certificate of Promise from the Greater Manchester Drama Federation for my role as Dolly, that's probably my proudest achievement to date. Other stuff I love includes listening to music (I love songs rather than particular bands. I like a bit of everything when it comes to music. At the moment I'm obsessed with 'The Feeling'. Love their album, its amazing!), reading books (Harry Potter books rule all!!) and generally having fun with my friends, family and my lovely man. My fandom lies with Harry Potter really (as you may have already guessed!) but I'm also obsessed with 24. Jack Bauer is a god among men and anyone who says otherwise obviously has no sense whatsoever! I also love prison break, friends and other stuff I can't think of right now. I started going to collectormania events at CM7 and I'm proud to say that I'll be crewing at CM GMEX 2! YAY! Anyway, that's about it from me. If you want any more info email me or add me to MSN (anniesywanyk@hotmail.com) or go to my myspace page which I update regularly (www.myspace.com/annieharbuckle). Hope you enjoyed my essay and that I speak to you all soon! AnnieXxX P.S - Heres a pic of me doing the classic Anniepose. (This one's for you Shabs!)...
