About Me

^ The pic says it all... ^

Hi, my name is Shannon but homiez call me Penguin cuz I love penguins and also cuz I walk like one in the snow. I write some pretty awesome poetry so if that interests you, you might wanna check out my blogs for some of my best stuff. I'm a student at Tunxis Community College and an active member of the Rock Bible Club (meetings are on Mondays at 2:30 in the cafeteria).
I've got two nephews... Jesus who is 6 years old and Demetri who is now 8 months old, and I also have three adorable but completely psycho cats... Kiara, Mickey, and Bella... who I love so very much.

Music:

I like pretty much all music. I like different kinds of Rock/Alternative music, Country, some Pop/R&B, Easy Listening, Techno, Dance, Rap-Rock (like Linkin Park and P.O.D.), 80's Music, and even Disco and Oldies music.

Movies:

John Q (makes me cry, though), Freedom Writers, Napoleon Dynamite, Wayne's World 1 & 2, Scary Movie 3 (I thought the first 2 were kinda stupid), Blades of Glory, Fiddler on the Roof, Elf, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Little Miss Sunshine, Evan Almighty, Pirates of the Caribbean series and pretty much anything else that has Johnny Depp, Will Ferrell or Steve Carell in it.

Television:

Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron, THE OFFICE, Gilmore Girls, stuff on the Discovery, History, and TLC channels... Yes... I know I'm a dork.

This is one of my favorite episodes of The Office... "Diversity Day" starring none other than Michael Scott:

Books:

To Kill a Mockingbird, Speak, Invitation to the Game, and Frankenstein was pretty cool, too.

Heroes:

Jesus the Anorexic Chicken

Demetri the Ducky

Mickey the Garbage Disposal
