Rappy Veteran Posted December 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) New Trailer! http://youtube.com/watch?v=-0fCQNSeETo.swf Character Profiles AGE: 16 MOTTO: Everybody dances to their own boom boom. ABOUT ME: I'm Effy. It's a **** name but it's short for Elizabeth which is even worse. I live with my Mum and Dad. My brother used to live here too but now he's gone. On the day he left he gave me his duvet cover, half a bottle of Peach Schnapps, and his bedroom. Well, he doesn't need it any more does he? So now it's my kingdom. I drank the Schnapps and gave the duvet to Oxfam. These are the four most interesting things about me: 1) I can pick stuff up with my toes. Like, not just socks and crap like that but big things. Ketchup bottles. Ashtrays. Ipods. It's a less useful skill than you’d think. 2) My Dad was so angry when I got expelled from the **** school I used to go to that he literally started farting in rage. Gross. 3) I'm distantly related to a 17th century French aristocrat called Cecile DeLacroix. She was beheaded during the French Revolution. Her eyes carried on blinking for 14 seconds after her head was severed from her neck and her lover had her teeth sewn into his pillow. 4) My favourite smell is petrol. If you want to know any more send a stamped addressed envelope and ten pounds in cash to P.O. Box 67894. FAVOURITE BAND: No. T.V SHOWS: TV rots your brain and makes you infertile. True story. FILM STARS: I don't have favourite film stars. Everyone gets old and **** in the end. My favourite film character is the Elephant Man. He's hot. DREAM DATE: Refer to last question. Hi! I'm Pandora Moon. I'm 17 and super duper excited about writing my first internet blog. MY MOTTO: (`'`'~-.._..*5[^^]!L?*.._..-~`'`') I asked all my friends what to write, well, I asked Eff, because she is my best (and only) friend. She said I should describe the way I would kill a baby rabbit. I think she was joking. At least I hope so! You know, I really like Eff but sometimes she's just a bit scary! Instead I thought I’d tell you about my most favourite animal and why I love it so much. I absolutely love Caterpillars. I think they are definitely the most interesting sort of animal, insect, whatever. As a child my favourite book was 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' I'm sure you've read it. It's absolutely fascinating. However, when the teacher used to read it to me at nursery I always used to cry when the Caterpillar became a Butterfly, which was odd because all the other children used to cheer. I just couldn't understand it. The poor Caterpillar didn't know that by eating all that food he was forcing himself to grow into a butterfly. What if he was just hungry, but didn't want wings and didn't want to fly. One day I got so scared that I'd become a Butterfly that I didn't eat any breakfast, but then my mum explained that children weren't like Caterpillars and the only thing that would happen if we ate lots is that we'd get bigger. So after that I ate all my porridge. I really like Caterpillars and I don't think it's fair and that they are forced to become different animals when they might be perfectly happy being what they already are. Everyone says that Butterflies are way prettier than Caterpillars but I disagree. Yes, Butterflies have pretty coloured wings, but Caterpillars also have really incredible, detailed patterns on their skin. More about meeeee...... FAVOURITE BANDS: Hair bands because I always wear my hair in bunchies, it's totally my signature look. Although I do love making rubber band balls! T.V SHOWS: I love Jeremy Kyle. I also love Trisha. DREAM DATE: My mum says boys are bad and has banned me from having a boyfriend. Eff said mum's right and having a boyfriend is a waste of time. She said having a buddy is much more time and pleasure efficient. I'm not sure what she means but a buddy sounds like fun. FAVOURITE WEBSITES: www.pimpmysearch.com. It keeps me amused for hours! www.whatsthiscaterpillar.co.uk And obviously www.youtube.com. I love the Harry Potter Puppets. What's that mysterious ticking noise? Oh no, I gotta go, mum's calling me (we're going to our pottery moulding class). PANDA x x x x x x x P.S. What's your favourite animal?

+John. Subscriber¹ Posted December 10, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 10, 2008 Big fan of the first two series, but I don't know if Effy herself will be able to carry it. I guess I'll have to love the new cast as well. It worked with House, but I just don't know with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted December 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 19, 2008 Effy Enigmatic and elusive, Effy?s the queen bee - attractive to all aroundher, utterly in control of herself and totally independent. Pandora An adorable virgin, Pandora?s found a best friend in Effy and a sweet tooth for naughtiness. Cook Oozing charisma, Cook pulls off daring and dangerous stunts, knowing Freddie will always be there to bail him out. Freddie Freddie Mclair?s got bags of potential but no va va vooom. Katie Super smart Katie Fitch is shedding her identical twin skin, and establishing her individuality. Emily Emily Fitch likes being a twin, but she?s crippled by her own shyness and depends on Katie to be the dynamic one JJ Master illusionist JJ?s got a huge imagination, with child-like excitement, he dreams up entertaining schemes. Naomi Passionate, political and principled, no one believes in anything anymore - except for Naomi Campbell that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
