My name is Em, Kage or Ami, depending on where you catch me, and I am an art student from Hertfordshire in England. I am hopefully going to De Montfort Uni in Leicester in October, if I ever get this final project finished, which seems a little unlikely at the moment :3. I have a boyfriend, and by the time I go to Uni we'll have been together for four years. How scary is that?

My interests stray mainly into the wierd and wonderful, although I can normally find something I like in (almost) everything. I find sport unbearable to watch, though. I am an enthusiastic, if somewhat rubbish, rolelplayer, of both the online and pen and paper varieties. (I even got roped into GMing for an online one for the thirteenth over the summer). My bestest books include.... anything from the Dresden Files, Kelley Armstrongs 'Women of the Otherland' books, Tad Williams 'Tailchaser's song' and occasionaly I stomach Warhammer for Dan Abnett's 'Ravenor' series. I'm watching Heroes at the moment, but I also have most of the X Files under my belt, almost every South Park episode created and Dr Who is also a favourite of mine. My current favourite movie is Children of Men, but there are so many god ones out at the moment that as soon as I actually get to the cinema I have a feeling that might change. I have a little tiny obsession with magic, and am failing at learning to read tarot. (I also have a teeny obsession with bishonen mages, but shhhhhhhhh.)

I suffer from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (don't go and look it up, the online stuff isn't all that useful I'm told.) which means that I have to use a wheelchair to travel any distance at all. This also means that I spend most of my waking hours on the internet, which is much more fun anyway. I have issues with my hips, knees and ankles that prevent correct muscle formation, which leads to me being well.. rather skewwiff in the leg department, and a little unsteady on my feet.

I have a hyuuuuuuuuge family, and live in somewhat of a menagerie. At the moment I have one black lab dog (Jasper); one eight week old black lab bitch (Paige); three guinea pigs (Dresden, fudge and Raisen) and one Leopard Gecko (Gizmo). I also have a Mum who pretty much disowned me, a not quite step Dad and one half sister on that side, one brother, one Dad and Stepmum and two half sisters on that side. If that's not confusing enough, I two aunts, two not quite uncles, one wedding up coming, four cousins and another on the way. >< Whew. I live with my maternal grandparents, and I visit my paternal grandparents relatively frequently. My paternal Grandmother has hip cancer.

Well. I have terribly many bad habits, including verbal typing diohorrea, as you can see. I also sometimes refer to myself in the third person as 'Kage', and then sometimes describe what Kage the character is doing, which is terribly confusing and I should try to keep to a minimum o.o. I like to play the same song over and over again, which drives my boyfriend up the wall. Ooh, and I'm a terrible procrastinator.
