Alana's Interests
|
| General | I like cooking (and any cooking show featuring Alton Brown). I also like to crochet and knit and do arty things. I have 4 guinea pigs named Spike, Homer, Fudge and Elvis and a hamster named Binky. In my spare time, I also design t-shirts and sell them on the internet, and I do all kinds of drawing and writing on my web page. | | Music | I listen to all kinds of stuff, but a lot of it is bands no one has ever heard of. Poor Old Lu, RoseBlossomPunch, Aaron Sprinkle, Fine, Pedro the Lion, Damien Jurado, Starflyer 59, Viva Voce, Over the Rhine, Sixpence None the Richer, K's Choice, Nirvana, Radiohead, silverchair, Moby, and old standards like The Beatles, The Monkees, Elvis, and The Beach Boys. | | Movies | The Princess Bride, Schindler's List, Dancer In the Dark, Serenity, Trainspotting, Cannibal the Musical, Dodgeball, 50 First Dates, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Moulin Rouge, Shrek, Napoleon Dynamite, and lots of other movies. | | Television | Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Mythbusters, Good Eats, Iron Chef America, Extreme Dodgeball, The Simpsons, Futurama, Scrubs, CSI, Bones, Criminal Minds, Eggheads, QI, Conan O'Brien, and just about anything on the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet. | | Books | I'll read anything by C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton and J.R.R. Tolkein. I'll also read anything by Mike Nelson from Mystery Science Theater. But lately I read a lot of stuff by Terry Pratchett and Kathy Reichs. I really liked "Perfume" by Patrick Suskind and "Good In Bed" by Jennifer Weiner. I collect and read old cookbooks, especially from the 50's, 60's and 70's. I really enjoy mysteries, but don't have any particular affinity for any mystery authors apart from Chesterton and Arthur Conan Doyle. | | Heroes | C.S. Lewis, Philip Yancey, Martin Luther King Jr., Menno Simons, and Fred Rogers. In a lesser way,Joss Whedon, Jim Henson, Robert Rodriguez, Trey Parker. |

About me:
 Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Bubbles
I'm an American girl living in Scotland. My husband is from here. I grew up in Duluth, and lived in Seattle for a long time. I am the webmaster of www.girlalive.com. I have a degree in history and I'd eventually like to be a writer of some description. For the moment, I work at the Royal Infirmary, reading about other people's bleeding genitals.

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic
|
Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few.
But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.
Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski

You Are a Smart American
|
You know a lot about US history, and you're opinions are probably well informed.
Congratulations on bucking stereotypes. Now go show some foreigners how smart Americans can be.
|
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Ewan McGregor, Joss Whedon, and pretty much anyone from Lord of the Rings. But more realistically, I am bored out of my mind, and I'd like someone to hang out with who is not my husband. I don't have any friends here yet because there are not nearly enough geek girls in this country.
