That whiskey is italian and not scottish? You do now.
Hello am Odette and am Scottish. I also know lots of random facts like that due to QI. I am 23 years old and ive been rping since i was seventeen after i stumbled upon a site on the old msn groups boards. I like lots of thing mostly complaining though. I am british after all. I love music although not in a screaming fan girl kind of way. It has an never will be me. Some of my favourite bands include, lost prophets, falloutboy, the blackout, hadouken and we are the physics. I like loads more to. Currently into what would be called indie/emo/grindie/shoe gazing music. Which pretty much describes me. I talk alot of crap which makes people think am weird and a bit strange. Some of you already know me and for those who don't i won't be posting a picture for fear of scaring you for life. Jk.
and just to be uber geeky.
