Brief Description
I was born in Canberra but when I was about two I moved to New Zealand for a year. After that I moved to Seoul, South Korea for three years, then back to Australia for about 2 1/2 years. I left Australia and lived in Japan for two years and then I've been living in Canberra ever since. About four months after returning from Japan I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and put on medication. Now I'm going into my final year of high school and I've just been taken off my medication today. I have many friends who I love and at the moment I am living in Canberra in an overly large house with my older brother and my parents as well as my kitty-cat, Annie.
When I get to college I plan on doing the IB so I can hopefully get into university overseas (hopefully in America) and I plan to live somewhere other than Australia when I'm old enough to leave home :D

Brief Description: I never have an interesting biography because I lead a relatively charmed life. My parents are happily married and I've only moved once in my life to a new house a few blocks away. I was born and raised in Indiana, and I'm the youngest of three children. Although my sister has grown up and struck out on her own, I still live with my parents, my college-bound brother (I'm scared for when he leaves... just me and my parents !), and my loveable beagle-lab, Toby. I have a very busy academic career, but in my free time, I love to read, write, and spend time with my good friends. My extracurriculars include newspaper and Key Club. When I graduate, I look forward to working toward a doctorate in social/behavioral psychology.

Well here goes: I live with my partner and four children in the Uk along with our 7 assorted dogs and a pet hedgehog. I am 95% bedridden as I have Tarlov Cysts Disease (basically cysts on the nerve roots of my spine) which cause excrutiating pain 24/7 and means that I am unable to sit upright or stand for more than a couple of hours a day as they fill with the fluid that runs down your spinal chord from your brain making the pain worse and my belly swell up until I look like I am in advanced pregnancy I have to use a wheelchair to get anywhere - which is where the Wheelie nickname comes from. I am originally from Peterborough in the Uk and moved to Grimsby in May '06 the people are definately friendlier and we are a five minute car journey from the beach which the dogs love.
