Whoops - my sincere apologies, Inka-Reb! A special belated welcome for you. ;)

And welcome too to Silverlily, Milana, Immortal Tricks and Ghostshell. Great to see you all here (especially another brave male). Enjoy the forum, but do read the rules above, to make my and Gemini's life easier.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Katrina and you may think I'm new... but you'd be wrong ;) You see, I've actually been watching this forum for a whole year, reading all the posts, agreeing, disagreeing and being downright confused and entertained... but never had the courage/time/excuse to actually join in.
But now, since my one year aniversary has arrived, I actually have an excuse! Whoot! I've decided it's better this way; now I no longer have to bounce up and down in my seat in suppressed excitement because I can actually POST NOW!!

Anyway... about me...
I'm 17, and in the middle of year 12 at school (arg! I am absolutely hating yr 12 - no time left to do anything fun!)

I live in the lovely City of Melbourne where the weather is like a song on play-school ( you know, they sing one verse and it's sunny, but by the next verse it's raining)

Reading is one of my favorite passtimes (probably to escape reality) and my favorite authors are Alison :p JK Rowlings, Lemony Snicket, Garth Nix, Tamora Pierce, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Max Lucado...the list goes on...and on...

As for my funky internet name, I made that up all by myself! If you ever see it anywhere else, it's me, so say hi!
