Some Random Facts About Me
I sing...a lot;) Way too much for my own good:o) I sing along to the TV - commercials, TV show theme songs - the radio, random songs while I'm on the computer, walking around, well..you get the idea;) But I do this only while alone or at home... I don't think people neccesarily appreciate my singing all the time;)
I also tend to talk to the TV, which really annoys my brothers. I am a bad person to watch a movie with if I've already seen the movie. I tend to spoil things easily by shouting at the characters;)
Without my glasses, I'm blind as a bat...well...bats really aren't that blind, but....
I'm a rather obsessive movie goer. Not that I watch a lot of movies, but when I do watch thigns, I watch more cult-y stuff and such. I went to see the X-Files Movie the first day it was out in theaters...all 4 showings. I went to see Star Wars Ep. I at 12:01am when it came out:o) It was great - much better than watching it at night with all the families and kids and junk - at 12 in the morning all you get is the hardcore fans:o) People like Drew, for example, who show up in line in costume and stage lightsaber battles with his friends... Wait... I am one of those crazy fans that dresses up for movies... like Lord of the Rings;o) (And then they cut out the particular Arwen outfit I spent all that time making!!! It better show up in the Two Towers extended edition!) Regularly camp out/spend *all day* in line for movies (both just for tickets, and to be the front of the line that day)
I'm so ticklish that I'll flinch sometimes if you like pat my back or if you sit close enough to brush me in a ticklish way...(I remember one incident when I was sleeping over at my friend's house and she reached over and tapped me to tell me something...I automatically pulled away....and I pulled away so hard I hit the wall behind me;) ) I'm not quite so bad anymore... but still pretty sensitive
I could probably live in the library - they've got books galore and a computer with internet access...well, I guess it would help if I had some food, too...
I'm am terribly shy...until you get to know me, of course :::giggles::: Well, even when you do get to know me, I'm still a little more shy than most...
And if you get to know me really well..or if you meet me online where I'm a a little less shy, you might catch me rambling...which is something I end up doing quite often. In fact, you might catch a bunch of rambling all over my pages:o) I especially do this on friends' answering machines...
I love OM (Odyssey of the Mind) - I'll be on a team until and all through college...well, I'll try at least;) When I grow up I'll become a judge, coach a team and make my kids participate in OM:o)
I am currently too obssessed with Anime;) If I had the time I would watch mroe of my collection....but right now I'm merely amassing the collection to be watched some time in the future when I don't have as much work to do=)
I survived a year of Caltech! Yay=) It's been a shock being in such a tough environment after doing perfectly well in high school, but it's nice to be challenged=)
Final Quote: OM is life - Everything else is just Spontaneous!:o)
