Gardening!!! Reading, writing, science, math, general intellectual subjects, singing, and laughing ;) Sustainable architecture, self-reference, paradoxes, time.
Music
My main limitations in singing are A)I don't practice seriously anymore, B)I'm not a soprano, C) I learn everything by ear, being a musical illiterate, D) I don't compose music, and E) I don't coordinate well with others. So, as stupid as it sounds, my best performance setting would be soloing to a track, ie karaoke. Though, I MUST say that I think I'm much better than the average karaoke singer. People've told me I should be on American Idol. I've never actually watched a single episode of that so I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult. Anyway, getting on stage makes me nervous... but I LOVE that kind of nervous!

Television
I was raised not watching TV, and Adrian thinks TV is stupid, so typically I don't watch it, nor do I have a great deal of knowledge about it. However, I have enjoyed: HGTV, animal shows, Pinky & the Brain, Roadrunner, Pink Panther, MacGyver, Columbo, and The Saint, among others. I generally dislike modern sitcoms, newscasts, and "reality" shows where people get eliminated because of nonpopularity.
I cannot be explained, so I'm not really gonna try. You'll just have to figure me out on your own. But, here are some computer generated opinions of me to get you started:
You Are a Rainbow
Breathtaking and rare, you are totally enchanting and intriguing. But, you usually don't stick around long! You are best known for: your beauty.
Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence
You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well. An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly. You
are also good at remembering information and convincing someone of your point of view. A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you
enjoy expanding your vocabulary. You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.
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.
ok ok, if a thing of this great importance is to be done, we must do it propperly on a wall, not on a blog post where it takes forever to find. (see rule 85 sec 2 in The Giles Book of Wars in General)for refference)
me: "I'm shocked!" -delilah's daughter (after hearing her mother named after a dog)
Maece: "well, that must hurt!" - Hook, in Hook
Me: "She feels no pain, mama..." Elinor, sense and sensibility-
"and for once it might be grand to have someone understand... I've got so much more than they've got planned..." oh come on! you know that song! "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere! I want it more than I can tell..." and she picks up the dandelion and blows it...
*sigh* tell me about it... lol but dont; REALLY tell me about it... it migght send me into an emotional downward spiral that only is interupted (breifly) with massive amounts of oreo cookies, but then continues until I'm forced to commit suicide alll alone and unloved as an obese bumkin! and bunnies will most likely eat my dead body. yeah, thanks a lot J. you made BUNNIES eat me.
well sissy my sissy, lol I've tried to stay away from myspace apps cause I KNOW I'll get sucked into them and there's no going back when that happens... :-P life is pretty good! I have my final in italian tomorrow and that's it for my summer courses and then I get a whole month off before I start in teh fall! so I'm looking forward to some down time. :) and I'm also auditioning for "Oklahama!" on sunday! I don;t think I could get the part of Laurie cause that requires a lot of dancing (the dream sequence) but I think I'll try for Ado Annie! lol but I'm a little sqheemish about the persian goodbyes... oh well. we'll see what happens! :)
lol well *I* happen to know that that quote (slightly modified) came from SH. lol. and Dennis is Tommy's doing. denis is our code word. we haven't decided what it means yet, but... it means something along the lines of
"hey chum I miss you and I want to tell you in a way that's subtle and nobody else knows, and that's also slightly sinister... and also involving a reference to tahini. over and out".
you need to go see mamma mia! without adrian! go see it by yourself or take Miwara!! it's a musical with every song based on ABBA stuff! it's so cool! lol and it's very much a girls movie. but I don;t know if mom would like it. it's got a few things in it... but I think you would like it!!:)
so, ya happy now I changed my profile stuff??? ;) and why yes... I DO take GREAT pride in my supirior vocabulary! lol, not my superior SPELLING... but hey, you live with whatcha got. :)
Wonderful? I don't know about that. I have a fair amount that are passable and a few that I think are almost good enough to be mistaken for a pro job...if it's dark and you don't look real close...
Lol...is it critque my profile week or something..first Jessica and now you....
I never really do much with Myspace and it takes forever to upload stuff on dial-up. I'll try to upload a few of my favorite photos next time I'm on campus though.
