  • Movies

    I like book adaptations(shame, shame) and romantic comedies and GOOD dramas. Documentaries too. Some action...the only thing I really can't stand are movies that are really cliche. Unless they're 80s movies. Then I just wanna go awwwww.
  • Television

    I like most sitcoms and animated shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons. And this is a guilty, guilty pleasure...but Degrassi: The Next Generation. And a Shot at Love. I can't believe I just wrote that.
  • Books

    I read a lot; it would be pretty impossible to name every book I've read and enjoyed. Some of my favorite authors, though, are Augusten Burroughs, Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Kerouac, Jodi Picoult and really any memoirist (as long as it isn't about illness...I have trouble getting through those books. =(.)
  • Heroes

About me:

amped Every week I've decided to make my last top friend a band that you should check out. So if you read anything in my profile, read the preceding sentence =) Hi...I'm Laila. I like to think I'm a good person. But shh, don't tell my self esteem that. I strive to be a music journalist. I spent the summer of 2008 interning at Alternative Press Magazine, and it was the best experience of my life, hands down. I never feel more alive than when I'm interviewing bands. I've interviewed most of my music idols and it's been amazing. I'm about to start graduate school at Johns Hopkins; I just finished my undergrad degree at Loyola College, the last year that it was actually a college! I like the typical stuff; music, books, writing, wii fit, cooking, hanging out with my amazing friends, seeing my twin godsons whenever possible (born Jan '08) and going to class and making all this money I'm spending worth it! I have four tattoos and want a million more! But sadly, I'm starting to mature and want to save my money a little more instead of blowing it. I grew up overseas and miss it every day, because I believe the majority of the US is made up of washed out, pathetic souls who follow the man blindly. There are many exceptions, though. I don't like games or liars. If I think someone is participating in either, I WILL drop them. I'd expect they do the same for me if I was being hypocritical. Either way, I like a good conversation about music or life, and just goofing off and having fun. =)


..

Who I'd like to meet:

I'd Like To meet: I've met my idol Otep and interviewed her in person =). So I can die happy. I do still want to meet♥people who can have an intelligent conversation without being stuck up about it =) (Unless it's about music, THEN you can be stuck up. Because I am. Hehe). People with ambition. Dreams are beautiful things to have. I WOULD LOVE TO FIND CONCERT BUDDIES IN MY AREA.

    that's a good song for you to choose as your favorite. i almost cried when i saw them play it last month. hahaha. california is treating me alright. the weather is nice but i wish it would rain. how is everything over there? i'm going to visit the east coast. i need to. i want to see how the west and east coast vibes differ. i'll definitely let you know when i plan to go that way. i really like stars and broken social scene but, i've never listened to amy's solo stuff. do you like it better/less/or equally the same as stars and broken social scene? guess what our future wife (leslie simon) did? she blocked me from following her on twitter. idk if it's because she had 666 followers and she wanted to keep it like that but...i'm just gonna say that that's why i am blocked. hahah.

    damn, you sound very busy. but, that's a good thing right? are you already in grad school? geeez. are you going to the same school for that? awww of course, single or not i'll make your time in california as awesome as i can. is there anything else you're wanting to experience besides disneyland? sainthood...it took a few listens to grow on me. it's just different than their other albums in my opinion. there's barely any use of guitar from what i can hear. it's pretty electronic. but, i really like it now, i think i kinda have to like it. my life is pretty boring. just going to school. still trying to find a job. which sucks. but, i found an amazing girl and we've been together for about 7 months now. everything is pretty peachy over here.

    Not much going on really. Just work and school and having fun in between.
    I've been writing some new songs lately.. but I haven't gotten around to recording em or anything.
    zomfg I just wrote out "em" as I say it in my head.... I am a bigger redneck than I thought! hehe
