Add a few bubble gum wrappers and some scribbled-on notebooks and this is me in a nutshell.

The view from my dorm window is awe-inspiring to say the least!

And I finally got a picture of me that looks like...well...me. It's a little washed out, but it actually looks like me! LOL. Sorry, it's just that so many of my digital photos don't bear much resemblance to me... I wish I knew how to do touch-ups in my editing programs, but as it is, I can only change the colors. Two of these are really washed out since I was standing by the window when they
were taken. *laughs* I look really chubby-cheeked in most of my pictures, but not in real life. Explain that.

Yes that is the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python wearing shades...and Darth Tater
is also present (even though I've never watched Star Wars). My favorite thing on those shelves is my "Sarcastic" 8 Ball. Ask it a question and it comes back with "you wish," "as if," "fat chance," "screw you," etc.

Favorite Music Groups: Pink Floyd, Beatles, The Moody Blues, Simon & Garfunkel,
Leahy, Green Day, and The Goo Goo Dolls, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I normally listen to movie soundtracks while I write. My favorite soundtracks are Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban, Braveheart, Gladiator, Enemy at the Gates, Schindler's List, Glory, Phantom of the Opera, and Titanic (hated the movie, loved the music).

Favorite Books: Memoirs of a Geisha; 101 Damnations; Dave Barry Does Japan;
Eats, Shoots, and Leaves; Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister; Wicked; The Darwin Awards; and many, many more. Seriously, if I'm not in class, sleeping, or hanging out with friends, I'm reading or writing. Erma Bombeck and Dave Barry are (or were, in Bombeck's case) two of my favorite authors. I'm a very sarcastic person, although I try not to write or behave sarcastically online lest I come across as a complete jerk!
Oh, and Harry Potter makes the top of the list, of course!

Favorite Movies: Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail, Forrest Gump,
Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl, Monty Python's Life of Brian,
Monty Python's Meaning of Life (yes, I am a girl of limited interests!), The Phantom of the Opera, Ace Ventura, and all the Harry Potter films.

Favorite Musicals: Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Miss Saigon

Favorite T.V. Shows: Everybody Loves Raymond, Gilmore Girls, The Simpsons,
and Fire Me Please! (Yes, there is finally a reality show where people are trying to get fired. The Apprentice this is not!)

Favorite Food: Um, candy. It's really a medical miracle that I've reached the
age of eighteen without a single cavity, but it's only a matter of time!

Favorite Subjects: History and Anthropology are tops in my book. I'm most
interested in World War II and the events that preceded it. I also love English,
German, and Psychology. On my college class blacklist are Philosophy (gags) and Math.

Favorite Guys I'll Never Meet: Prince William, Jake Gyllenhaal, Timothy Goebel, James and Oliver Phelps, Dan Radcliffe, Milo Ventigmlia (?) (Jess from Gilmore Girls)

Favorite Board Game: Monopoly, Scrabble, and Clue

Favorite Holiday: Halloween or Christmas

Favorite Travel Destinations: I've been to the Rocky Mountains (Estes Park, Colorado area) six or seven times and that's always fun, but my favorite spot is probably the Acadia region of Maine, or Nova Scotia. I'd love to go to the UK and Germany, or anywhere else in Europe really!

Favorite Sports: I love to play tennis and billiards. I love to watch guy's figure skating and the Olympics. I have never watched a football game all the way through in my entire life.

A Little About Me: I'll add more to this later...not feeling particularly creative at
the moment....

I came to college "knowing" what I wanted my major to be, but four months in, I'm a
bit adrift. I'm leaning towards secondary education (with a focus on History and English),
but I could go any which way right about now!

I used to play the flute, but I was never particularly talented (okay, okay, so I never
practiced) so I gave that up this summer.

I'm a proud member of College Democrats, but I must say that I fall among the
moderates and I'd certainly vote for a respectable Republican candidate like John
McCain or Chuck Hagel. George W. Bush, on the other hand...well...let's just be safe
and say "no comment." *cough!hack!cough!*

I speak English (no, duh) and German fluently and Spanish semi-fluently. I also know some Swahili and Japanese, and can read (but not write or speak) French, Dutch, and Yiddish.
