About Me

I am into learning all sorts of stuff, and am willing to try anything at least once. I'm learning how to crochet. I'm learning how to Belly Dance, so far it's a lot of fun and a great work out! I like to go camping and hiking. I love to go for long drives and purposely get lost just so I can figure out how to get home. Besides, that's the best way to discover new things. I like to write short stories, and I sculpt and paint a lot. When the weather is good I love to go swimming at Caesars' Creek, or East Fork Lake. I like to practice knife throwing, I'm not too shabby either, and eventually I want to get to a shooting range to try my hand at using a gun. I'd love to learn archery, and how to use a staff. I'd like to learn how to sew so I can make my own clothes, or at least be able to alter the length of my pants on my own. There's lots of stuff I'd like to do, but I either don't have the time or the money, and that gets a bit frustrating after a while. ..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

I think I covered a lot of this already, but I guess I can list some stuff again. Reading, writing, knife throwing, crocheting, Sculpting, Painting, hiking, camping, swimming, I do special effects make up when I can, since that is what I went to school for to learn. Archery, Staff fighting, I'd like to learn different self defense techniques, and hoe to sew. I enjoy trivia games, and I'm deadly at the game of Risk.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody! I have a small close knit group of friends whom I love, but I would like to expand out a bit and meet some new people.

Action Adventure, Horror, Comedy, Thriller, some Drama, or any combo there of. Some of my all time favorites are Edward Scissor Hands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow, The Pricess Bride, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Star Wars the Original Three, Spaceballs, History of the World Part 1, High Anxiety, any Fred Astair and Ginger Rodgers film, or Abbot and Costello, Labrynth, and The Dark Crystal. I love Jim Hensen! and probably my most favorite movie is Willow. I've watched it and the Princess Bride enough times to have memorized the whole scripts.

Television:

Not much on now that I'm interested in. I watched Xena and Hercules, as well as Buffy and Angel religiously when they were still on, and since they went off the air, I haven't found anything else that really captures me. I'm looking forward to the new Dr. Who coming to the Sci-fi channel. I used to watch the original with my parents, as well as the Next Generation gang. I'm a dork, I know.

Books:

Favorite Authors to date are Kim Harrison, Laurell K. Hamilton, Sara Douglass, Elizabeth Haydon, Mark Antony, Joan D.Vinge, C.S.Friedman, and Ann Rice.

Heroes:
