Marc's Interests

General	TV history and trivia, Victorian and Caribbean Literature, Project Runway, art of Aubrey Beardsley, Baked Cheetos (seriously, have they stopped making these? I can't find them anywhere), Grammar
Music	My favourite songs (in no particular order): 1. "Me and Bobby McGee"--Janis Joplin 2. "Fast Car"--Tracy Chapman 3. "Bohemian Rhapsody"--Queen 4. "I Don't Want to Wait"--Paula Cole 5. "Son of a Preacherman"--Dusty Springfield 6. "You Oughta Know"--Alanis Morissette 7. "The Man Who Sold the World"--Nirvana's version 8. "Immortality"--Celine Dion 9. "Little Black Backpack"--Stroke 9 10. "Mae Mae"--The Mighty Sparrow
Movies	The Godfather (Parts 1&2, NOT 3), The Silence of the Lambs, Moulin Rouge, Million Dollar Baby, Mutiny on the Bounty (1935 version), Kill Bill Vols. 1&2, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Stage Beauty, Brokeback Mountain

Marc's Blurbs

About me:

*TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey*
Name:	Marc
Birthday:	29 March
Birthplace:	Trinidad, W.I.
Current Location:	Atlanta, GA
Eye Color:	Brown
Hair Color:	Jet Black
Height:	6'0
Right Handed or Left Handed:	Right for writing, left for just about everything else
Your Heritage:	East Indian, African, Irish, Portuguese
The Shoes You Wore Today:	My shoes that were made for walkin' (seriously).
Your Weakness:	Baked Cheetos
Your Fears:	Bats
Your Perfect Pizza:	Bacon, pineapple, green peppers, onions, mushrooms
Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year:	Getting Chapter One underway!
Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger:	ack!
Thoughts First Waking Up:	Portia needs to be fed
Your Best Physical Feature:	My cheekbones.
Your Bedtime:	3.00 a.m. usually
Your Most Missed Memory:	Badly phrased. How the hell do you miss a memory? If this means memory of the thing I miss most, it would be staying overnight at my Granny's house before she got sick and came to live with us/died in 2000 [rereading this has now made me terribly nostalgic, so I'm going to blog about staying at Granny's at some point in an effort to recreate what I can't have in real life anymore].
Pepsi or Coke:	Diet Coke.
MacDonalds or Burger King:	What horrible choices. Neither, if I can help it, though I do like McDonald's Filet-o-Fish once in a while.
Single or Group Dates:	I like going out with a large group of friends, but does it really count as a 'group date' if I'm on a date at the time but the others aren't?
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea:	I live in Georgia. Give me home-brewed sweet tea.
Chocolate or Vanilla:	Vanilla
Cappuccino or Coffee:	Coffee. I don't really like espresso drinks that much.
Do you Smoke:	No
Do you Swear:	When I'm alone, loudly, gratuitously, and profusely. When I'm around other people, I'm more restrained.
Do you Sing:	Badly and often
Do you Shower Daily:	Yes
Have you Been in Love:	Yes
Do you want to go to College:	I've been, and I'll probably be for the rest of my life (in a teaching capacity)
Do you want to get Married:	Yes
Do you belive in yourself:	I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky. Ew, there's dust on the sky.
Do you get Motion Sickness:	I get carsick sometimes, especially if I try reading. But that's only cars. I love travelling by boat, plane, train, mule (okay, I've never been on a mule), and suffer no adverse side-effects.
Do you think you are Attractive:	Depends on the mirror
Are you a Health Freak:	Oh god no. I try to do some smart things, like buying low-sodium things where possible, eating fruits and vegetables, flossing before bed, and seeing a nutritionist from time to time, but all this counts more as hypochondria than health freakdom.
Do you get along with your Parents:	Yes, more and more as I grow older. My relationship with my dad has become particularly good of late.
Do you like Thunderstorms:	If I don't have a dog who spooks easily, I do.
Do you play an Instrument:	Does the recorder count? I can still play "Silent Night" on it.
In the past month have you Drank Alcohol:	I'm learning about a new type of wine every week with Jen (that's the plan, at least). I also like eating wine too--I make a mean chicken in a wine reduction sauce. Oh, btw, someone needs to change that "drank" to "drunk."
In the past month have you Smoked:	No
In the past month have you been on Drugs:	No.
In the past month have you gone on a Date:	I think it's just beyond a month at the point of writing this.
In the past month have you gone to a Mall:	No. I don't really like malls.
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos:	No.
In the past month have you eaten Sushi:	Yes--but the sushi I eat is the terribly inauthentic, mass-marketed varieties. California roll. Spicy Tuna roll. I wallow in my philistinism.
In the past month have you been on Stage:	Does singing in the shower count?
In the past month have you been Dumped:	No
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping:	No
In the past month have you Stolen Anything:	Furtive glances
Ever been Drunk:	I've been very close on one occasion, but I still have complete recollection of the night, was able to walk/maintain balance, etc. I think the way I was affected was that I became very philosophical and long-winded, more than usual anyway.
Ever been called a Tease:	Yes
Ever been Beaten up:	No
Ever Shoplifted:	No
How do you want to Die:	Crossing a sea on an elf boat, marking the dawning of the fourth age of Middle Earth
What do you want to be when you Grow Up:	Younger than 40
What country would you most like to Visit:	Visit for the first time: England (Haworth, London, Salisbury); Re-visit: Ireland (Dublin, Dun Laoghaire--I've read so much about the latter, and it's such a beautiful name)
CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

Who I'd like to meet:
Celine Dion; Janis Joplin; Lucille Ball; Daria Morgendorffer; Mrs. Sloccombe; Nancy Drew's cousin and best friend Bess Marvin; Ziggy; Pearl; Pearl's Mother; 80s television puppet Madame; approximately a quarter of the smurf population; Pope Sixtus the Fifth, Pope Fiftus the Fourth, and Pope Fourthus the Third; Marlon Brando circa 1955; a mysterious stranger wearing a tan fedora and a rose in her/his lapel.

Hengist MacDougal, Earl of Sammitch	Mar 17 2008 4:30 PM Have some Wilde.
Hengist MacDougal, Earl of Sammitch	Nov 25 2007 3:17 AM That's a pretty sassy new pic you've got there, Marc. :)
Lauren	May 22 2007 3:32 AM I love love this picture! You all are having a blast!
Jennifer	Apr 5 2007 2:53 AM Hope the reading's going well. You may be nervous, but heaven knows you got 77x7 times more brilliant literary analysis in that scull than is necessary to fill a few pages and a few hours! Miss ya. :)
Lauren	Mar 28 2007 1:05 AM No worries then. We need to talk Idol at some point. I'm a super big fan of Blake, have been from the beginning. I hope he wins. But I thought Phil sounded amazingly like Sting, and I'm a HUGE Police fan! We should think about Idol watching this summer (once the strains of the semester are finished).
Lauren	Mar 28 2007 12:28 AM Bad news. Been trying to get the VCR to record a clean picture for 27 minutes to no avail! I am so sorry! I hate that I offered to record Idol for you and am not going to come through.
Sarah	Mar 19 2007 3:57 AM nice to wave at you today. see you on thurs.
Lauren	Feb 19 2007 3:57 AM If only you were a woman, and writing in the early 20th century, after emigrating to France...you too could have been famous for your cows. :)
Jennifer	Feb 15 2007 12:56 PM Erin and I like your picture -- you're such a cutie. :) How's the chompers?
Lauren	Jan 22 2007 2:48 AM Oh Marc - that date is sold out. I just tried to buy tickets. Is this a one time only thing?
Lauren	Jan 22 2007 2:47 AM Oh Marc, you're kidding! We've got to make it a date! This is very exciting news!
Jennifer	Jan 20 2007 2:59 PM Aw, Portia! Julius is going nuts; he's in love. :) Hope reading is going well! You look like you're thriving while prepping for orals -- rock on!
