Hang out with my boyfriend, be with my friends, watching movies, reading, and fiddle about.

Before, in school, I played hocky in the winther, but in the summer do not do anything that demand arrangement or is exhausting - I relax on the beach.

No, I tried for many years to learn how to play the piano, but I was really bad at it - I am not very good at sitting still.

Almost anything. The CDs I hear the most right now are with Gomez, Jack Johnson, Nelly Furtado, Eminem, David Gray and Fleetwood Mac.

Good books. Right now I really like Margaret Atwood. I also like to read a good comic - like Calvin and Hobbes.
Do you have a pet?
A dog, Elsie, a cat named Minnie and a fish, that might be immortal.
Witch animal do you identify yourself with?
My cat is very good at being lazy and it gets mad, if it does not get fed. Then there is said enough!
What do you like about your part in The Tribe?
I get to look cool, and fight the bad boys, wear cool clothes, hang out with gorgeous people and getting fed.
Do you have anything in common with your character in The Tribe?
I am rather stubborn, and have a tendency to take control in some situations. I am honest just like Amber - sometimes maybe a little too honest!
What differences are there between you and your character in The Tribe?
All that young-mother-thing is it not me. And I am way to lazy to keep such a haircut.
Who are your idols?
My parents and siblings, my boyfriend, my friend Jesse, Toni and Tori (Trudy and Salene). People with success, yet keep their good hart, and are decent people.
What is your motto?
Behave towards others, as you want them to behave towards you - Carpe Diem (Seize the day), and this from a commercial: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift that is why they call it the Present!
