Me, myself and I

I had once written a very long thingy about myself here. I'll try to do it again now, and make it a bit more personal. I guess. I actually worked this out with a guide of how to build up a fictional character. No, I am not a fictional character, but I do love writing biographys for movie-charaters..so, yeah. Let me start out with saying, that I was born in the summer of '96. You do the math. My name is Marie Lund Trappehave, but most people call me Chiaki. I love all kinds of music, movies and books, as well as I love both singing and playing music, making movies and acting, and writing poetry. Basically, I love everything that life has to offer me. What I want to do with my life..hm..I want to make movies. Be a director, you know. Or maybe an actress in a theater, and do big plays and stuff. Or run a theater! Or be a translator, lol, completely out of line.
