Myspace Codes - Myspace Generators - Myspace Backgrounds
Just a little notice: I will not normally talk to people I don't know, or accept friend requests from people I don't know.
About me: I totally love watching movies and reading books because escaping the real world is one of my favorite things to do...besides (now I know this is weird but don't freak out on me here) going to school.
I have a younger sister who is in 8th and an older brother who is at U of O as a sophomore. I'm a Junior at Churchill High School! My favorite actress is Rachel Weisz. All you have to do is say her name from a mile away and I'll be right next to you with my ears perked up in a flash.
Umm...I love theater...acting is my thing even though I'm in the musical.

My Interests

I love going to the movies, cause those are really fun.

I also like to read...if that's not a crime.

Some weird things about me:

I hate seafood. Seafood is gross.
I never wear makeup. Or dresses, if I can help it.
I hate gum. It is so gross. I shudder just looking at someone chewing gum.
I HATE cotton balls. They give me the heeby-jeebies.
I love some of the things depicted below like peanut butter, converse, rubber duckies, and much, much more.

I love my converse like life itself. I love them so. SO. much.

Peanut Butter makes me love life more than I should.

Rubber Duckies are great!

Why is Helena Bonham Carter so sexy, seriously?

Music:

All different kinds of music. I like everything from Vivaldi to System of a Down to Maroon Five to random showtunes....huge variety.I really dislike country, though, sorry to all thsoe who love it. *shrug*

Movies:

Can I even express how much I love movies? It's insane. I love everything from the very classic Disney Classics (not to be redundant or anything) to Pan's Labyrinth to The Constant Gardener, Monty Python, Rent, Moulin Rouge, V for Vendetta, The Fountain...I wish I could make a list like I did for books...except that was on a long, boring summer day when I did that and I am much too lazy on this short weekend to spend time doing it. But you get the general idea. I guess my idea of a good movie is one that makes me FEEL something, whether happy or sad. I really go for great scores and cinematography. And sometimes I go for the mindless comedy, but only if the jokes are in good taste, because I think movies are a huge waste of time if I have to sit through ten hundred sex jokes in two hours, which I can get at school if I very well want. I think you know what I mean.

Television:

I really don't watch television AT all, except my Buffy the Vampire Slayer seasons...and I should be completely ashamed of how much I love Buffy, but...screw you. It's awesome.

Books:

Books are fantastic. I really do love them a lot.
Artemis Fowl series
Young Wizard series
Abhorsen Trilogy..it's not really called that but it has no name so that is what I have dubbed it.
Keys to the Kingdom series
Song of the Lioness quartet...it's not really about a lion.
Immortals quartet
Protector of the Small quartet
Circle of Magic quartet
The Circle Opens quartet
The Trickster's series
Need I go on? All those quartets are Tamora Pierce and there are more by her but lets just say I love them all.

Heroes:

I really love to write, and maybe someday I'll put some stories up in here. People say that they are disturbing when they read them, but truthfully, a story cannot be realistic without being even slightly demented

...

Okay, that's not true. I am just not that great of thinking up good plot lines that are happy.
