About Me

I love studying culture, history, religion and especially languages and everything to do with languages (including historical linguistics, theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, etc.). I'm not part of any particular religious affiliation for I have my own beliefs which include certain aspects of most religions. Ask me to explain further if you're interested. I love cats. I love all kinds of music (except heavy metal). I speak English, Spanish, Italian, French and I can understand Portuguese, when I read it. I'm currently teaching myself Romanian, Irish and Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, and Icelandic. I've taken classes in Farsi, Arabic, German, Russian, Japanese, and Tagalog. I continue to study these languages. I'm a fairly well-rounded person and have a great appreciation for most things. Few things make me angry BUT those few things that DO anger me...well let's just say I am not a pleasant person when that happens.

My Interests

Music, languages and historical linguistics, cooking (Italian food especially), history, cars, architecture, travelling, and mythology.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody I guess.

Music:

I listen to Country, Classical, Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass, and some Rock and Hip Hop. I also like listening to traditional and folk styles like Celtic, African, Middle Eastern, Native American (especially from South America), East European, Scandinavian, Italian and Southeast Asian.

Movies:

In general: Comedies, Action, Horror, Drama, Fantasy and some musicals. More specifically: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Naked Gun, Wrongfully Accused, King Kong, Ice Age, Lion King, Memoirs of a Geisha, Ice Harvest, Jungle Book, Emperor's New Groove, Hot Shots, and more will be added...

Television:

I like sitcoms, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, TV Land, Comedy Central, Food Network, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, History Channel, Animal Planet, CMT, GAC, ABC Family and a lot more. I also like watching (as sad as it may be) the Today Show and Live with Regis and Kelly. I like watching Late Night TV (i.e. Letterman, Leno, etc.) once in a while. I hate soap operas.

Books:

Fantasy, Mythology, Religion, History, Factual books (i.e. Almanacs...I know, it's sad) and Languages/Linguistics. I'll edit to be more specific later.

Heroes:

La mia famiglia ed i miei amici. (My family and my friends.)

Quote next to my picture.

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." This is from a book. I don't actually feel like this about people on my friends ...

Lars Lars pants on Fars

For those who are wondering about my display name ("Lars Lars pants on Fars"), Colin Mochrie says it on the show "Whose Line is it Anyway?"
