Stephanie, 21, Newcastle, UK. I'm not out to make enemies. I love US TV. I'm obsessed with Cheryl Cole. I'm proud to be a Geordie. I love printed t-shirts. I need to start being a bit more confident in myself. I need to try and be a bit less cynical. I crave love, I miss being in a relationship. But I won't settle for second best. I love reading. James Patterson is one of the reasons I love reading. My mother is one of my heroes. My brother lives in Sweden with his girlfriend. They met online. This gives me hope that there is someone out there for me. I'm an old romantic, I can't help it. It takes a lot for me to fall, but when I do it's quickly. I'm not afraid of my emotions; I embrace them. I don't deal well with anger though.

NM is important to me, it gives me an outlet.
