(anyone catch that reference?)
1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
I'm a full-time secretary, and a psychology (undergrad) major. I like writing short stories and poetry, singing, playing piano and flute/piccolo and listening to my husband play guitar, camping & doing outdoorsy-stuff, photography, etc.
2. Where are you from?
I have lived in four different states, but right now I live in TN, US. I hate living in the South in general, but I like the college-town atmosphere.
3. Who is your favorite author?
I don't read a lot of fiction anymore, but what I read the most of is Steven King novels. Mostly I enjoy reading psych textbooks, case studies, and biographies or autobiographies about peoples' lives dealing with abuse or mental illness, etc. I also read psychological research journals.
4. What are your favorite films?
I mostly like comedies & scary movies (the cheesier the better)! Office Space, Super Troopers, The Godfather trilogy, The Garden State, Good Will Hunting, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Chicago, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Beautiful Mind, Don't Say A Word, Prozac Nation, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, The Untouchables, The Wedding Singer, Pirates of the Carribean, Austin Powers trilogy, Scream trilogy, Spaceballs... I could go on forever.
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I'm already married & we ended up going to the justice of the peace. I have no idea what we would've played.
6. At your funeral?
Sarah McLachlan (yes cliche I know), Jewel, Evanescence, Green Day, Third Eye Blind, Coldplay.... I dunno I really like sappy/sad/reminiscing type music. Either that or play something totally goofy like Weird Al just to make people laugh or be like WTF?
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Hmm... drowning is fun. I think it's a rather elegant way to die, although some would beg to differen considering how bloated you become afterwards. Ugh. Perhaps in some dramatic way? I'm not sure.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
a dark rich wood w/a cream-colored lining & one of those little "keepsake drawers"
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
My birthday suit! Not in public though.
Other than that I just like things that are comfy - long skirts, jeans, or black pants. I don't really have a favorite particular outfit. I just wear whatever feels good for that day or situation. My clothes are pretty dorky, though. I just feel like a bafoon most of the time, no matter what I wear.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Not having to pay bills. :P
11. What's your favorite band?
It's a toss-up between Green Day and Evanescence. I really loved No Doubt too, but I don't like Gwen Stefani's new stuff. Most of my other faves are individual artists rather than bands - being a musician myself I'm pretty big on people who can actually read & write music and play instruments as opposed to being in some pre-fab group.
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
I'm half-way through my bachelor's degree in Psychology. After that I would like to pursue at least a master's or higher. My ultimate goal is to be a Psychology professor and do research, writing, and therapy as well.
13. Why did you join?
I don't really consider myself to really fit into any particular category, but I have always been fascinated with the gothic "lifestyle" so-to-speak. I've been lurking this forum for just a little while, and I thought the DIY clothing thread was just awesome. Some of those designs are just lovely! I've made purses and such myself out of old pant-legs before, and now I've been inspired to go thrifting & closet-searching for some clothes I can make myself. Okay that was somewhat OT... sorry for the babbling.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
female
Random:
~I'm 23, married, and I have a cat named Jamie (she's psycho, but adorable all the same). No kids yet - not for a couple of years probably.
~I'm a pretty silly/easily amused person, so it surprises people to know that I've been on & off of antidepressants for over 4 years. I also have suffered from bulimia for a long time, so weight is a sensitive subject with me.
~I'm an only child of divorced parents (raised by mother), an Aquarius, liberal, and agnostic.
~I can be very sarcastic, so please let me know if I've said something that offended you.
Sorry if this is TMI, I do tend to blabber on sometimes...
Oh and I probably won't get to be back online to respond to any responses until Monday or perhaps later this weekend as I don't have internet at home right now.
