THE STORY

Hello there! I'm Hanna, and my name has a lot weird meanings like 'Goddess of Life', 'Grace of God', 'Grace'/'Charm', 'Lucky', 'Gracious', 'Blessed by God', 'Flower', 'The Only One', 'Favour' & 'Merciful'. I've also got a middle name that I hate cause I think it's ugly. I was born in South Korea April 12 1981, which makes me an Aries. Or the Chinese Rooster. I was adopted to Norway when I was 1 ½ years and have lived here since. I've got a little sister, mom and dad, and love them all very much! I have had a problem finding out what to do in life, so I've tried a couple of things: Photography, computer stuff and molecular biotechnology. I'm currently in Oslo, working as a veterinary technician, and I know for sure that this is what I wanna do with my life. Oh, and I will die December 20, 2056 at the age of 75, most likely of cancer, alcoholism or alien abduction. Nice to know.

I've got dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. It looks black though. I'm 5'0"/152 cm (yeah, I know), and on a good day I smell like Glow by J.Lo. I'm an atheist, but believe in karma. I have an enormous love for animals and I'm a member of Amnesty International, WWF and The Norwegian Federation for Animal Protection. I try to help where I can. I'm an organ donor, too. When I die, that is. I'm also a lacto-(ovo-)vegetarian, which means that I don't eat any kinds of meat, but dairy products. Eggs are more or less okay as long as I can't taste it, but I stay away from it if I can. It disgusts me to eat animals. Oh, did I mention I'm a wuss? I can't watch horror movies without having nightmares. I've got acrophobia (fear of heights), spacephobia and the bottom of the ocean. My hero is John Mayer. I love books and libraries. I'm a Harry Potter addict and a Ravenclaw at heart. People have told me I look like Pocahontas, Mulan (how can anyone look like a cartoon character?), Lucy Lui, Kobe Tai, Kelly Hu and China Chow. And I wish I hadn't searched up who Kobe Tai was.. I strongly dislike porn. If you tell me to describe myself in 3 words it'll be: Childish, girly and absent minded. I'm an eBay addict and I love to travel.

WORD

Craic. Love it! Something I picked up in Ireland.

• I've never ever been on a date.
• I was a scout for 7-8 years.
• I had my first crush when I was 12 years old.
• I can have 23 Seigmenn (often translated to gummybears, but they are larger and with sugar on) in my mouth at the same time (well, my last count was when I was 13 or so, so I guess I can take more now =))
• I suck at: Singing, dancing, lying, paying bills, driving, getting up in the morning.
• I have a thing for bad boys.
• I wish Zachary Hanson was my little brother, Jamie Oliver my big brother and that Jai Rodriguez was my friend ;)
• I used to sing with two friends when we were.. 12-15 years (or so). I can't sing. or I can, but it isn't fun to be around me when I do =D
• If I was a boy for a day I'd thanked heaven not to have the period or had to give birth and peed behind a tree. Or infront to be really wild.
• If I ruled the world for a day, I'd give free cotton candy to everybody, make Tine give me a Litago suit, and at least try to get my hands on Bill Gates' money and become a female Robin Hood ;D and pet a giraffe.
• When I was younger I used to collect all kinds of stuff: Stamps, napkins, stones, soaps, lettersets, wrapping paper(!), erazors, pencils, giraffes..
• I can buy almost anything if it's pink =}
• I'm an addict to chap stick.
• I like the Shepard-pooh better than Disney's. It's got more charm.
• My mom wouldn't let me have my own toy cars, so I had to play with the boys in my neighborhood. That's why I still find cars very fun to play with.
• I'm worth something like $1,676,974.00, or so it says.
• When I was 3 or something I used to rearrange the decoration (candles and such) in the living room when my parents were taking a nap in the afternoon.
• My first memory is me being in Ellisiv's 2nd or 3rd birthday party. When I was younger I had a memory from the orphanage, but I don't now.
• I hate to be the first to say "goodbye" on the phone, so I try not to, until it's embarassing.
• I'd marry John Mayer or David Gray for their voices.
• I'd marry Gavin DeGraw for his looks. That goes for Orlando Bloom, too. Okay, Gavin's got a great voice too, and Orlando has that sexy English accent.
• I name my stuff. Right now I've got a mobile phone called Banana, an iBook named Lucas, a camera called Spiff and four plants called Natasha, Bernard II, Citrus and Mr. Lucky Bamboo.
