Favorite Music Groups: Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Moody Blues, Simon & Garfunkel, Dr. Demento, Collective Soul, 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; Jane Eyre; 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,
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!), Forrest Gump, The Phantom of the Opera, Ace Ventura, and all of 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: Monty Python's Flying Circus reruns, 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 Actors and Actresses: Jim Carey, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Rupert Everett, Hugh Grant, Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Maggie Smith, Steve Martin, Ben Stiller, Alan Rickman, Richard Gere

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 pair's figure skating and the Olympics. I have never watched a football game all the way through in my entire life.

Harry Potter-related

Favorite characters: Hermione Granger and Harry Potter tie for first, followed by Neville Longbottom, Ron Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Minerva McGonagall, Arthur Weasley, Severus Snape, Fred & George Weasley

Least favorite characters: Tonks, Tonks, and Tonks! Hate her. If she does kick the bucket or turn traitor in book seven, I'll be mightily disappointed. The worst part of her is that I think Rowling intended for us to like Tonks. Sorry. No.

Favorite book: That's a draw between Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. I prefer the Goblet of Fire plotline, but love the characterizations of Hermione and Harry in particular in Order of the Phoenix.

Least favorite book: Chamber of Secrets. Half-Blood Prince is my second least favorite as it was so hard to get "in to." I dunno, I think the sixth book lost a lot of the charm and innate appeal that the previous books had in spades.

Favorite Harry Potter movie: Prisoner of Azkaban is more artistic and all, but Goblet of Fire is funny. Newell made great use of Filch and the Weasley twins.

Randomer and Randomer

Some pictures I've taken, some interesting, some boring to everyone but me...

First, you should probably know that I'm obsessed with my cat.

And here are a few more pictures, mostly from my dorm at school...

	The Sarcastic Ball = $6.50 worth of snarky fun. It, of course, would tell me that I was ripped off majorly by the manufacturers, but screw that.
It's probably not a good idea to ask why there's a picture of a Planaria tacked to my bulletin board.
Monty Python's Bloody Rabbit, Bush and Kerry dressed up as a cowboy and Frankenstein, and Darth Tater all on one shelf. What more could you want?	The view ALMOST makes up for the terrible smell of hops from the brewing plant just down the street. Yes, our campus ALWAYS smells like beer.
My desktop wallpaper: which I assembled using the work of my favorite HPartists (rjade829, Gwendy85, Nacey, Yethro, Demosthenes, see the Links page).
