About Me
I am a full time college student earning my Bachelors in Media Arts and Animation.  Art is my greatest passion followed closely by food and travel.  I have a very diverse area of interests which can range from art to zombies and everything in between.

I am religious but I don't really talk about religion outside of certain settings.  Safe to say that I am not Christian.

I believe in Astrology to a certain limit.  I believe is does have a hand in who we are as people and coupled with the events of our lives turns us into the people we are.  I also believe in the more "mystic" stuff, I suppose you can call it.  I like reading tea leaves, oracle cards, and stuff like that.  It's just something that interests me deeply.

I am currently learning Japanese and could use some help with mastering it.  I can only read Hirigana right now but some Katakana wouldn't hurt.  Just no Kanji please. 

I used to play music.  Don't laugh but I used to play the Baritone.  I left band because the High School band teacher was made of concentrated evil and I didn't want to have to deal with that.  I started to teach myself the piano but got disheartened after a while.  I still tinker but I probably won't take it up seriously again until I can find a proper teacher.  I also tinkered with an Acoustic Guitar but pretty much the same thing happened with that as well.

I love traveling.  I have been to Belgium, Germany, Scotland, England, and the Netherlands.  I want to go to Ireland, Rome, Japan, and France.

Also....I'm a sucker for accents.  Especially British, Scottish, Irish, and French.  They make me weak in the knees.  I'm not one for swooning but a sexy voice really kills me.  I know I'm not the only girl who suffers from this.  <3

I also have strange habits and even stranger food cravings that are fun to ask about.  Like the fact that I HAVE to lick potato chips before I eat them.
Requests
I need someone to help my with my Japanese.  In return I can help with English.


......Can you list Sarcasm as a language?  I'm fluent.
Hobbies & Interests
I have tons of hobbies.  I honestly couldn't even remember them all to list.  I create art, watch movies (to a point that it IS a hobby), rappel, cave, camp, hike, am an amateur photographer, sew, make props, do theater make-up, I go to the renaissance festival (don't laugh), I play video games, study homeopathic/holistic medications, read Oracle cards (like a Tarot deck but slightly different), read Tea leaves very badly, study astrology, eat food, and travel like a fiend.

Favorite Movies
Oh god, I could no sooner choose a favorite star in the heavens.  I watch tons of movies (probably because I am learning to do 3d special effects and animation).  There have been tons over the years.  5th Element, Aliens, V for Vendetta, Ever After (hooray for references), Up, Coraline, Love Actually, 300 (it appeals to my violent side XD), the Labyrinth, Willow, Dark Crystal, The Princess Bride, Robin Hood; Men in Tights, Aladdin, The Lion King, The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty (I'm a sucker for Fair Tails), The Princess and the Frog, Alien Vs. Predator, Through a Scanner Darkly, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, honestly this list can go on FOREVER!


....Batman. 'nough said.
Favorite TV Shows
Sherlock Holmes ( both the Granada adaptation as well as the Russian), Doctor Who, Bones, The Sanctuary, Stargate, Torchwood, Blue Collar, Psych, and Burn Notice.
Favorite Books
Favorite book of all time; Sherlock Holmes.
I also liked The Picture of Dorian Grey, it makes me horribly depressed when I read it though so I don't very often.  I also like Harry Potter and don't you dare mock me for it.  The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is also a good read (series of poems).  I like Poe as well but who doesn't?  Dickens is too long to read and kinda drives me crazy.
I HATE HEMMINGWAY AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HIM!
Favorite Quotes
Whenever you eliminate the impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

I would save the dog.  You can't argue with the mind of a madman.
