My god, it's AMAZING!

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorTo view art by me..go to: http://blueorchidbitch.deviantart.com/ As of now (5/18/08): I'm going to school at The Art Institute of Seattle (graduate the end of the year). I'm an animation student, but sadly my interest is waning. I still love to draw...I fancy illustration much more. I'm engaged to a wonderful man, name of Matthew English..the love of my life. We have an apartment in good ol' Federal Way of Washington with three very adorable little puffy kitties (one not so puffy)...Cloe and Domino and Glover. We're all very happy and content in our little sun drenched mountain view home! :) Have I mentioned I really like our apartment, well yeah...I really like it. I was an animation intern for a few months and got bored of the work...I'm not a huge fan of the game industry and hope to find something in the traditional arts realm - illustration or teaching. Now I'm the main grounds keeper at the museum and I do little odds and ends for security and VS. I also work with Matt which is AWESOME. I know when I'm older I'll look back on these days as some of the most happy and care free. I'm also having fun planning for my wedding...which we'll be having August of 2009. "VAGINA." According to the "Which Big Lebowski character are you?" quiz:

I'd like to meet:

I'm really diggin' on the bots right now. I really enjoy my heart felt converstations with them about my opinion on headphones, computer programs and restaurants.

Music:

A very ecclectic assortment: The Anniversary, Fiona Apple, The Beatles, Beethoven, Beck, Johnny Cash, CCR, Death By Stereo, Deftones, Ella Fitzgerald, Garbage, Jimi Hendrix, Billie Holiday, Jefferson Airplane, Le Tigre, Led Zepplin, Modest Mouse, MonFrere, Muckafurgason, Nirvana, OhGR, Omni, Pain, The Pixies, The Prodogy, The Ramones, Schoolyard Heroes, Sleater-Kinney, Smashing Pumpkins, The Tenacious D, Violent Femmes, Weezer, The White Stripes, White Zombie, The Who, Hank Williams, Zebrahead.

Movies:

The "artistic" (weird) films: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, American Beauty, Sin City, Fight Club, Garden State, Unbreakable, Nacho Libre, The Big Lebowski, No Country For Old Men, Raising Arizona, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas and The Graduate, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I also love dorky comedies: Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, Little Shop of Horrors, Galaxy Quest, Tommy Boy, The Jerk, Matchmaker..the list goes on and on. I love all the big trilogy type movies as well: Matrix, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones..and a few of the Star Trek movies...especially II: Wrath of KHAN!!!!!! yes, I'm a big geeky dork!! :) I also have an enormous collection of all the non-sequal animated Disney movies...as well as a wide collection of Disney cartoons and shows from the 50's and 60's. I'm a huge fan of the Disney legacy and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Television:

I'm a huge animation nerd, so anything cartoon: Ren and Stimpy, The Oblongs, Simpsons, South Park, Yay for Venture Brothers, Futurama, Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021...and any high quality indi stuff I come across. Anyway, I also love Firefly, Angel, The Twilight Zone (the original), Star Trek TNG, DS9 and the original series, because I'm a huge nerd, yes. Monty Python, Pete and Pete...But I hate regular tv programming, I usually only tune in for The Simpsons and Malcom in the Middle and that's about it. Oh, and lost but SO NOT least Law & Order: SVU and Sex in the City.

Books:

Stories with GOOD character development. Pullman, Phillip K. Dick, Stephen King, Hunter S. Thompson, George Orwell, Neil Gaiman, Chuck P., Christopher Moore...Comics: Strangers in Paradise, anything Vertigo: Watchman, V for Vendetta, Sandman, Preacher..stories by Alan Moore, Niel Gaiman and anything illustrated by Dave McKean.

Heroes:

My mom, she's been through a lot and she managed to raise us kids pretty damn well all on her own. She's a strong independent woman, but certainly isn't scared of showing emotion (I can recall a few somewhat embarrassing moments where my mum got all blubbery) Just shows that its alright to be human, you know?Rosanne, my best friend. Until just a few years ago I had no idea the hardships she had to grow up in. Knowing where she came from, how she's handled it through all the years and where she is now...I have the utmost respect for her and her unlimited drive to achieve. I call her my best friend because no matter what she's there for me and she's always willing to listen and lend some helpful advice. Not to mention we have a lot of good laughs...especially about all the lame things we did as kids...like eat grass. :PNatasha for having the most caring heart. Most people I know couldn't handle the amount of time and effort she's put forth to protect and care for animals who are unable to protect themselves. She inspires me to be just that little bit more understanding and open to others...animal or human.Casey, for stubbornly hanging onto her childlike shyness and curiousity of the world. Finding fascination and fun in everything and always brightening up the room with her bright eyes and smile...when she chooses, of course.And lastly, Matthew. For his bravery and willingness to sacrifice his life and freedom for others in Iraq. For his sense of humor through everything that keeps everyone around him in good spirits. For making my days truly splendid for having spent them with him.
