A Snippet From A Song That Suits You Well:
The little boy said to his mother,
Mama, I wanna save the world.
I want to feed the starving children,
And did you know that I have heard
We could have a bake sale out in our front yard
When I grow up, I want to be myself.
When I grow up, I want to be myself.
Today I colored with crayolas.
Today I went right off that page.
Today I saw the world around me
As if I didn't know a thing.
- Jen Foster, "When I Grow Up"
Your Favorite Quote: "Treat everyone the same until you learn they're an idiot." - Lucy Lawless

Likes: Reading, music, theatre. I enjoy organizing things (*is a nerd*), mythology and history, my computer, my family and friends, staying up late, sci-fi and fantasy, and historical fiction, most things caffeinated.
Dislikes: Liars, bigots, people who hurt others or think their was is The Only Way and the rest of the world just needs to get with the program already, people who talk about other people behind their backs, people who are overly vain or shallow, being pressured or coerced into things I don't want, a lack of privacy or personal space.
Talents: I'm intelligent and articulate.
Hobbies: Reading, singing, theatre, being on my computer, organizing things, learning.
What Do Your Friends Like About You? I think they appreciate the fact that I am the person I want to be, not the person others want me to be, and they know that I will always be loyal to them.
What Do You Like About Yourself The Most? I like the fact that I'm a caring person, and always try to do right by people.
It’s Late At Night and You Have No Work to Do. How Do You Busy Yourself? Random internet surfing.
A Little Deeper…
What do you believe is your ideal career? I would love to sing, although I'm not particularly good at it, and I would absolutely suffer if I were famous. So I'll say archivist. Because I actually am THAT MUCH of a nerd.
What were you like as a child? I was strange. I think I needed years and years to grow into myself, because as a child I was precocious and no good at making friends because of it. I always got on better with adults than with my own peers, which in turn caused me to be very introverted.
Are you satisfied with your life? Not really. I'm working on it, though.
Someone kills someone who was important to you. How do you react? I would be really, really upset. But I wouldn't do anything to take revenge on them or whatnot.
Your Favorites…
Favorite Book(s)? Wuthering Heights, any of the Greek plays (esp. Lysistrata and Medea), Pride and Prejudice, Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart," and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Favorite Movie(s)? Repo!, Notorious (the Bergman/Grant film), Casablanca, Bringing Up Baby, Iron Jawed Angels, The Price of Milk, among others. Repo is just thoroughly enjoyable to me. The next three, because I'm a big fan of old movies. Iron Jawed Angels because anything resembling historical fiction is awesome to me. The Price of Milk is an indie film from New Zealand that no one has ever heard of, but it's whimsical and enjoyable.
Favorite Artist(s)? Loreena McKennitt.
Favorite Music? I really enjoy operatic music. Celtic, folk, musicals, classic rock...
Favorite Place(s)? Home and school.
What is Your Favorite Childhood Memory? I think maybe dressing up as Wednesday Addams for Halloween when I was maybe seven.
About Repo!…
What song do you find yourself singing when no one else is around? "Chromaggia" is the one song I would never sing around any other human being, ever, because I absolutely butcher it. Oh, and possibly "Chase the Morning." Sarah Brightman I am not.
Which character can you imagine yourself hanging out with? Mag, I think. She's got a sort of mysterious grace to her that's very intriguing to me.
Who should be running GeneCo? Mag, because she's got an ounce of human compassion in her.
What are your feelings on ascots? Honestly, they're no worse than gazillions of other fashion statements that people make. And they're even better than some. o_O
If you could undergo any surgery without having to pay, what would you have done? Lasik, baby! I don't need perfect vision - I kind of like wearing glasses - just for my eyesight to be not as awful as it is. (Can they actually do that?)
Who from Repo! do you dislike the most? Oh, GOD. Rotti is the obvious choice, but I have to say, he's honestly the most unsympathetic character in the film, because he's perfectly sane (unlike his children), he's just... a horrible person. Shilo also really got on my nerves, because she acts like such a brat sometimes.
You are able to go to dinner with one of the characters. Who is it? Mag, because she's by far the most normal, non-psychotic and/or homicidal person in the film. I think I would feel safest around her. And, you know, I couldn't complain about the company either.
