I started law school this year, and with it have given up all rights to "interests" that don't include legal pursuits. With that in mind, I am addicted to video games, I occasionally go out and visit my retired show horse, I have discovered an addiction to coctail olives, although I don't really care for the coctails, I make unfruitful plans to take my longboard downtown and bum around alone for an entire day, and I attempt to take artistic photos that I can wow my friends with.
In the year 2007 I resolve to: Invade a small county.
I am a die hard Pink Floyd fan, although I have been branching out lately. I try to front as an indie fan, but every time I find a great new band to obsess over, they get discovered, played on the radio every 10 minutes, and then I just look like a poser. I've given up and just decided to admit that I like trendy music.
Movies
I like girly dance movies, suspenseful action flicks, and movies that have a twist at the end. I used to refuse to watch any horror movies, but I've started to gain a certain respect for zombie films. I have also been forced to watch other horror movies, both old and new. They aren't as bad as I thought, but they still aren't my favorite. They are useful for other things, like having an excuse to curl up with a guy, and bury my head in his shoulder.
Television
I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I'm excited that the 8th season will be written as a comic. I have become infatuated with Dr. Who and Torchwood. I have to admit that I like most British comedies and sci-fi. Much more inventive than American. I don't actually have cable, so everything I watch has to already be on DVD.
Books
I've grown to be infatuated with Neil Gaimon. I read one of his books, and then couldn't get enough. Unfortunately, the Sandman series is very expensive, as graphic novels tend to be. I've picked up the first one, and the art is amazing. My favorite of his books is definitely American Gods. After reading that, I decided that Wednesday is my personal hero. I have to keep reminding myself that it is not okay to swindle people out of their money, no matter how much they are asking for it.
I also like reading random ethnic books. It doesn't really matter what the culture is. I'll read it, eat food from that region, try to wear ethnic clothes and fail, and then find a new book to wrap myself up in. Some of my favorties have been from India. I love Jhampa Lahiri's style of writing, with the raw realness of it. I'm actually sad that one of her books was made into a movie, because I have my own images of the characters and the settings. I don't want to lose that. I will end up seeing the movie, however, just because I can't keep myself away.
Heroes
My sister is my hero. She's gone through a lot in her life, and still manages to be upbeat and hopeful about her life. Plus, she has this neat fridge magnet thing that I stole:
About me: I don't share. I am selfish, stubborn, and like things to be done my way. That said, I have no idea what my way is. I am indecisive and picky. I firmly believe that what I have for breakfast will set the scene for my entire day.I will pour over the menu 10 times, then ask the waitress to decide for me. I like my tea hot with lots of sugar. I don't like coffee. I'd rather sit at home with a good book, but when I go out, I am a huge flirt. I am also a tease. I am deeply passionate about the things that I believe in. I believe that dragons do exist, because without a little magic, the world would have fallen apart long ago. I like to do things the hard way, just to prove I can. I am inherently lazy. I am a perfectionist, and a procrastinator. If I could do anything with my entire life, I would go to school forever. I want to travel somewhere far away, and untouched by man. I want to go somewhere where I am the minority. I want to see all of the seven wonders of the world, even the ones that have been lost for a millenia. I want to do the impossible.
Who I'd like to meet: Interesting people. I hate it when you meet someone, and as cool as they looked from a distance, they are boring and clueless up close. I like people with an opinion. If I agree with everything that someone is saying, then either I'm talking to my carbon copy, which is boring, or else they are lying to try and impress me. Since I don't think I'm cool enough to need to be impressed, I'd rather just meet someone who is uniquely themselves. I'd rather have a disagreement about something interesting than to agree about something mundane.
