MORE ABOUT ME...
My guilty pleasure(s): Video games (Nintendo rocks!), animation (from "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" to "Akira" and everything in-between, around and beyond, lol), CSI (Vegas and Miami), horror movies - the classics from the early days of cinema, video nasties, John Carpenter's early stuff and some of the modern psychological thrillers. Latin! Yea, the ancient Roman language, I haven't studied it in a while but I love it.
The best word to describe me is: Impatient, lol. Nah I think maybe eclectic is the most all inclusive word for me. I like a lot of things and I do a lot of things. My hero(es): Batman! Lol, umm, people who discover things or triumph over adversity. I admire Dr. Robert Ballard (I mean the guy found the Titanic after it was lost for 80 yrs, thats impressive), Elvira (she should get way more recognition, Julie Brown too), I like some directors too like Roger Corman and Ed Wood and of course, John Carpenter. You know who's awesome? Kylie.
Words or phrases I overuse: "That ain't right", "Aargh!" "Wait, what?"
My superpower is: I have super strength...well I can open jars without assistance, lol.
What else you should know about me: I have a surreal sense of humour, I love weird things like the tv shows "The IT Crowd" and "Big Train". Umm, I can draw and I have two degrees in media and art.
IN MY DREAMS...
In the movie version of my life, I would be played by: I'd love to say someone classy like Nicole Kidman or Angelina Jolie but they are about 2 foot taller than me and also bear no resemblance to me. I actually think I would be played by Anna Faris because her spoof characters always seem to have so much in common with my personality! Lol. I'd actually really like her to play me.
My childhood ambition/career goal: I wanted to be a dancer like Jennifer Beals in "Flashdance", lol. I'd still love to do that but I don't know if it'll happen! I wanted to be an artist too, which I'm sort of making happen.
If I were a breakfast cereal, I would be: I think you guys call them "Lucky Charms", the stuff with the little dried marshmallows in it and it's so full of junk it makes you hyper, lol. They aren't allowed to sell that stuff here anymore!!
If I could tame and ride any animal, it would bea: A big cat would be so cool, like a lion or tiger.
If I could live anywhere, it would be: Berlin or Vancouver! Or Paris is cool too =)
