About

• My name is Sweet n Leo (used to be Mister Leo), but not in real life. The name "Leo" comes from the TV show "Charmed" which I absolutely loved. So when I needed a name, I chose "White Leo" (based on Leo Wyatt). Later on I ditched the "White" and became "The Amazing Leo" which was fun for a while. Next I was "Sweet n Leo" and after that it was "Mister Leo". I'm now back to "Sweet n Leo" as I liked that name, and I felt like a change.
  
  You can just call me "Leo" though. I prefer that as it is less formal.
  
  
• I am from New Zealand and have only ever left it to visit Australia. I would love to travel someday, but that would be someday far far away in the future. Being in New Zealand means I'm in the GMT + 11/12/13 timezone (depending on DST), so I'm on at odd hours for Americans. Well, not too odd, I'm pretty much 4 hours before California (then add a day to it).
  
  This is an American website, so I do find language a little funny. New Zealand use a subset of English based off of the British version, so we do things like adding random u's to words (like colour). I tend to correct myself here so I don't explode the brains of those who cannot comprehend spelling other than their own, but sometimes I forget or cannot be bothered.
  
  
• I am a Pokénerd who has been a fan of the games since I was 10 years old and first bought Pokémon Blue for his new Gameboy Pocket. I miss that game and that feeling of the unknown, it was awesome. Now I'm in my twenties and I'm still a fan and still buy the games when they come out. I honestly hope the series never ends.
  
  My favourite game from the series was Silver, so the Gold/Silver remakes were awesome. I loved Gold/Silver as they actually went back to Kanto and you saw it again but several years later. That's something the newer versions all miss. Of course, Crystal was an awesome addition to the Gold/Silver group, what with the first animated pokemon.
  
  Currently playing Pokemon Black, but I'd also like White one day. I'm always up for trades, and I'm now trying to breed my starters. I was lucky enough to be granted a female Tepig, and then lucky that the first two eggs from her were also females (odds are low). But I've migrated over my pokemon from the other series, so I've a bunch to breed. I'll make a post sometime about pokemon I've got up for grabs.
  
  I want to reach the 50 unique trades (different people), hence putting pokemon up for grabs.
  
  My favourite pokémon is Pidgey and the evolutions. The other starter/base birds just don't compare.
  
  
• I love Harry Potter, both the movies and series. I'm a massive HP fan and love re-reading the books. If you want to talk HP, give me a yell! Seriously, I love debating theories about the books. (Speaking of which, I just read a theory that made me go OH MY GOD. When Petunia mentioned Azkaban and she said "I heard that awful boy telling her" we assumed she meant James, but now looking back it probably was SNAPE). If you go OMG at that, let's chat
  
  Another one is the title of the chapter "Snape's Worst Memory" when Harry saw James & Sirius bully Snape. We assume it's his worst one for being bullied (but when you think about it, he's probably got lots of those). It wasn't until later we realize that OMG, it's his worst memory as that's the moment he drove Lily away!
  
  Part of this, I love AVPM and AVPS. I ended up downloading both and have them saved on my computer, and I bought the songs (where I could). AVPM was an awesome experience, and while yes, it mocked Harry Potter, it was done with love and any fan could respect that.
  
  
• I love Glee but I also hate it. Not hate-hate, but I get irritated at it. Glee is something you should watch with some disbelif, as it defies any logic most times. (Hey, Mr Shu, when a kid from a rival school smashes an egg in one of your kid's face, don't hold a sing-off, call the police. That is assault!
  
  I also love Darren Criss, but I don't really like Blaine. I don't know, I just found the character annoying slightly. I'm kinda middle-ground there. But I do love the fact that Kurt has someone (finally, considering practically everyone else was swapping partners like mad).
  
  Recently I've stumbled across some Glee fanfics... ok, let's face it, slash fics... and they were a lot of fun. Looking for more good ones to read through. Not interested in the poorly written ones. Yes, I'm slightly addicted to them and there are some awesome ones out there (like the Welcome to Hogwarts & the sequel Welcome Back to Hogwarts) where it's Glee in the Harry Potter world (but in real time, so HP and the gang have obviously left). I can't really explain it, but it's really well written and you should look it up.
  
  
• I love reading books, especially Discworld. Totally a PTerry fan and I hope we figure out a way to transfer his mind into a robot so he can keep writing forever. The series is one that is timeless, it doesn't have any sort of "ending" or overarching plot (like Harry Potter), and it's wide enough to introduce new characters and new stories.
  
  My favourite character is probably Angua, she's feisty and kicks a**.
  
  I also love the Mortal Engines books (call it "Hungry Cities Chronicles" and die). They're just epic, and I love how they feature two major generations between the four books. I hear that Peter Jackson is going to make them into movies, I hope it happens and I hope it turns out epic. I don't want the movie to ruin an awesome story.
  
  
• Once upon a time I was a moderator on this website (shock-horror)! From July 2008 to November 2010 I was a greenie, until I retired for good. Made great friends and it was fun to do something different and I'm glad for the experience, but I'm not looking to repeat it.
  
  
• I've been on Gaia since January of 2005. I'm not a 03'er or 04'er, and I don't consider myself an "olbie". I hate it when people use their join date as a way of validating their argument.
  
  If you have to somehow validate yourself by your join date, you're not a person I want to know or talk to.
  
  
• I love avi art! I just love it. I don't know why, but I do. I need to collect some more. I will never say no to avi art
  
  
• I'm a web developer in real life, and like to build things as a hobby. Unfortunately though I'm bad at sticking to things I'm building, hence the long development time of anything. That and my flaky home internet sucking.
  
  
• I do use my ignore list to ignore people I feel aren't worth dealing with.
  Sorry if you made it, but it generally means I consider you too idiotic to be bothred with. I have a limited amount of time on this planet, so I choose to not deal with idiots.
  
  Feel free to ignore me back if you wish. I believe that if someone irks me, I shouldn't have to deal with them. My life isn't long enough to suffer fools. You have that right as well (and I believe this site would be better if more took that approach).
