This is mostly still here because I hate deleting old things and hey look dragons.
I've been on LJ a long time. The things I wrote in the past do not necessarily align with who I am today, but it's... mostly not hideous.



Hey-hello, I'm Ghan, an 18 1920Twenty-Freaking-OneTwenty-Twoolder than you, bitchtwenty-four twenty five year-old Arts StudentArchitecture StudentArchitect at UWA. working in South Fremantle. I've completed my three-year Bachelor of Environmental Design (with an average of 69.5%, god damn it all to hell), and next year I start AS WE SPEAK I am in the first final year and final semester(!) of my two year Masters of Architecture. It's the shit. Yeah, I'm done with uni.
I ♥ my Gavin.

I'm Australian!

In 2009, Gavin took me on a 6.5 month trip around Europe, the UK and Egypt. I was pretty amazed by this. So I've gone from never having left my country, to being pretty well traveled - perhaps, and this is mainly because I want to use this word, eminently well traveled - for someone my age.
My favourite place was Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland. The Alps are breathtaking.



I like a few things. Among the things that I like but cannot or should not eat are Cheddar Cheese and White Chocolate. Lactose intolerant, you see. Music is less important to me now than it was when I first wrote this, but I'll list my favourite bands anyway, because it tells you stuff about me, or whatever: Silverchair (the perennial favourite - not much listened to these days), Sonata Arctica, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, The Smashing Pumpkins, erm, Blind Guardian, Falconer... basically any Power Metal, anything with shredding guitar solos or interesting vocals. I also really like Lady Gaga. I was surprised too.

Since talk like this tells you lots without revealing much about me, I will tell you that I like these movies somewhat: LOTRs, Pirates of the Caribbean, Fight Club, American History X, Donnie Darko, Hidalgo, Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill. This is quite an outdated list, but when I wrote it, I watched a lot more movies than I do now.

I deleted the section about TV Shows because I have enough pointless shit in this Bio as it is.

Wait, no, True Blood and Dexter are both fantastic.

Westerns are better than you.


I like to play games. I like to stab people in the face, and murder (in the World of Warcraft. Not the world of life. Yet.) So I play a Forsaken rogue. My primary incentive for leveling is ganking, tbqh. Which is possibly why I'm so slow at it. No really. I've been playing since Christmas 2005.

I also have a Death Knight. It's the best goddamned fun ever. I love being overpowered.

I love to create Bonsais (although I'm atrocious at keeping them alive), and I have a passion for Tropical Fish. I have two tanks at the moment, but I'm planning to aquire a 4 or 5 foot tank soon. I'm trying to breed Peppermint Bristlenoses, I've bred Common Bristlenoses, Kribensis, and Convicts several times. I want to start collecting dwarf cichlids - Apistogrammas being my cheif interest. I also have two Synodontis Polii and love them to bits. I'd love to breed them but I don't like my chances at all. I'm planning on breeding Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens) in the not-too distant future.

P.S Did I mention that I like dragons? Because clearly, I do. And since today I discovered that Graduate Architects earn what is basically equivalent to a punch in the face per anum, I have decided that I'm reverting to my old plan of being a Dragon when I grow up.



I don't like Frank Gehry. There, I said it. His architecture is showy, but not as clever as I would like it to be. He does have a scissor bitch, however, and I don't. So what would I know?


I despise my current mobile telco.
I don't like bad things.

These aren't just codes. They're also awards and things like that. Yes, they are. WTH you don't have time for awards on the internet, Ghan!

My current livejournal layout is courtesy of encontre @ novaless. I would customise it but it's already so pretty and I'm meant to be designing my online portfolio.

The images for this profile were taken from the picture links here, and edited in Photoshop 6 by me, using default brushes only. The fonts I used are Freshbot and WST_Engl. The design of the profile is likewise, by me.









Watch silently and see the shadows seeping slowly into hearts and minds as the band plays out of time
to a song that means nothing to them and in a few years will be forgotten like finding the body of a butterfly in childhood, but it was a plastic butterfly with faded colours and such gaudish beauty that it was hideous and hateful
the friends that follow for the sake of following can be more hurtful than the enemies that watch with apathy and detached pity
the shells of souls walk from end to end balancing on a fine line between nothing and less
