Shannon

My name doesn't roll off the tongue. . .it sorta trips and stumbles.

About Me

How do you summarize the epitome of class, talent, and charm, whilst not forgetting the fine art of humility, and a dash of good ole Southern hospitality? Two words: Jimmy Carter. If you can't find that guy's page, meet the very distant second silver medalist: SHANNON MCCLUNG!!!!!

My Interests

The three R's: reading, (w)riting, and relaxation. Love the movies and theatre. The occasional night at a club or a bar doesn't make me frown.

I'd like to meet:

Let's see. . . people I wanna meet. . .besides you? Okay, Charlie Chaplin (unlikely), Mike Myers, Patrick Warburton (Puddy from Seinfeld), Robert Downey Jr. (despite all the drugs. . .or maybe because. . .hmmm), and Tom Hanks are performers that I truly admire and would love to engage in the art of conversation. The ladies I'd like to familiarize myself with (not necessarily talk to) would be Jennifer Garner (darn Affleck), Rachel McAdams, and the red-head from the Wedding Crashers. YOWZA!!!

Music:

Film scores and techno. Weird, I know.

Movies:

The original Star Wars Trilogy, Austin Powers Trilogy, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Back to the Future Trilogy (I like trilogies), Rudy, Field of Dreams, Glory, and The Shawshank Redemption.

Television:

Seinfeld, Friends, old SNL's, Arrested Development (if it really is cancelled, it'll fall into the gone but not forgotten realm with Freaks & Geeks and the live action version of The Tick), Lost, 1st and 2nd season of Alias, The Simpsons, The Office (British version is awesome with the American version steadily growing on me) and almost anything on the History Channel. . .yeah, I know, I'm a nerd who misses High School history class.

Books:

Gasping for Airtime, Angels and Demons, the Harry Potters, and just shed a few tears for the Time Traveler's Wife. Hey, I'm not ashamed to admit that a book got me a little weepy.

Heroes:

Larry J. McClung, my poppa.
