About Me

I guess you could say I'm a friendly person who gets along well with others, though I'm way too shy sometimes, and am considered by many to be a little strange, but in a good way I hope LOL....
One thing I can say for sure is that I'm unique, and to be unique is something to be proud of. I think people should celebrate their uniqueness. The belief that everything must be a certain way is a belief not of my own, and I find it rather silly.
"You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!" - John Lennon
I'm an aspiring Director, and it's my dream to attend film school someday.... I also have an interest in graphic design, and wouldn't mind trying some theatre acting again. Another thing I really enjoy doing is editing videos, and I've been told that I'd make a great editor, so there's yet another thing I'd be interested in pursuing.... You can see some of my fan videos here: http://www.youtube.com/DNPvid
I'm a major lover of movies (obviously), and once you get me started on the subject, it can be quite difficult to shut me up....
I also enjoy a good game of Dungeons & Dragons (*Is a super geek XD*), though I haven't had the chance to play as often as I used to.
When I have the time I like to hang around the forum for the unofficial sequel to the King's Quest computer game series, The Silver Lining: www.tsl-game.com
Over there I'm known as Farquhar.
Other names I sometimes go by online are....
DNA_Now
Kaladorn/Kalablade
And most recently LOL....Wakko
I currently work at a second run movie theatre, you know the kind that gets all the movies later than the others XD. It's there that I met the Love of my life, my wonderfully amazing fiancé Amanda. She and I are going to be getting married soon! It would be nearly impossible for me to describe how much I'm looking forward to it!
If there's anything else you want to know just ask, though I can't guarantee an answer. Mwa ha ha ha! :P
You can also find me on Livejournal and Facebook , though I'm on here more often.

Hyper and driven, you'll take your caffeine any way you can get it. Frappuccinos are good, but you'd probably chew coffee beans in a crunch! What Flavor Frappuccino Are You?

...And many, many, many more... Perhaps someday when I have more energy, I can make a more complete list. XD In the meantime though, I'll just add a couple more every now and then... :)

Television:

As far as current TV goes, I watch LOST, Prison Break, Bones, and occasionally American Idol.
I've also recently been introduced to CSI, Mythbusters, and Diry Jobs...

There are many shows I watch through reruns as well, a few being Frasier, Friends, and Seinfeld.... Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Xena: Warrior Princess.... The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones....

I also am a big fan of Anime, particularly Cowboy Bebop, Akira, Witch Hunter Robin, Trigun, the works of Hayao Miyazaki, The Vampire Princess Miyu, Record of Lodoss War, Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing, and last but not least (and probably silliest)...The Slayers. Sadly the list of anime available to me right now is rather small, but I hope to expand it....

And now for something completely different.... Monty Python's Flying Circus!

Books:

R.A. Salvatore, J.R.R Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis.... As you can see, my favorite genre is Fantasy.

Heroes:

Gandalf and Spider-Man! John Lennon...

...And of course Amanda, who's been more of a hero to me than I thought anyone ever could be.
