More Things About Me That You Never Really Needed to Know

This is taken from my fanfic page, which is available here.

Books I Love

The Fellowship of the Ring; The Two Towers; Return of the King; The Hobbit; Wuthering Heights; White Fang; Gulliver's Travels; On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness; The Chronicles of Narnia; Moby Dick; Journey to the Center of the Earth; The Great Divorce; Spartan; Artemis Fowl; Children of HurĂ­n;


Music That I Continuously Run on my iPod:

One Republic; Coldplay; Tammy Trent; Sara Groves; Natalie Grant; Hillsong; The Fray; Blake Lewis; Panic at the Disco; Hoobastank; Daughtry; Casting Crowns


Movies That I Intend to Watch One Billion Times Before I Die:

The Dark Knight; Iron Man; Wall - E; Batman Begins; Pirates of the Caribbean; Star Wars; The Princess Bride; The Lord of the Rings; Enchanted; All the Indy movies except for Temple of Doom; Prince Caspian.


I Despise:

Eragon (coughStarWars2cough); Harry Potter; His Dark Materials; High School Musical. And if I hear another Hannah Montana song (my ten-year-old sister is a fan), I swear that my brain is going to finally melt into a pile of gray mush (unless it already has). And also the New York Yankees, because it is the duty of any Red Sox fan to hate the Yankees with the fury of a thousands seething suns.


I Adore:

Anything written by J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis. The Boston Red Sox. Secretariat. Peanut M&Ms. Dr. Pepper. And those awesome Croissan'wich things you can get at Burger King until 10:30.


5 Facts About Me:

1. When I'm not writing/reading, I spend my time competitive swimming, editing movies that I make with my friends, texting, helping out in my church nursery, and ranting about my seething hatred - er, dislike! - of Twilight, Philip Pullman, the New York Yankees, Joe Biden, and Pepsi

2. I love wintergreen. Wintergreen gum and wintergreen lifesavers. And Dr. Pepper.

3. I own a hyperactive Labrador Retriever named Obi-Wan. He's a cutie. Even when he chews up my dad's weed eater. My dad no longer thinks he's very cute. I also own a Gray Tabby named Yoda. Yes, I like Star Wars - why?

4. I am pretty conservative. I supported McCain in this last election, and I am very much Pro-Life. However: I am not devastated that Obama won, nor do I feel that the apocalypse is nigh. I actually like and respect Obama, as much as a Republican can. But Biden? WHY DON'T YOU JUST RAKE YOUR FINGERNAILS DOWN A CHALKBOARD WHILE BASHING ME IN THE HEAD WITH A LARGE SLEDGE HAMMER? Ahem. This concludes my political rant.

5. I have a psychotic obsession with texting with perfect grammar. It isn't practical, I know, but I can't seem to help it. I'm a bit weird that way. Well, in a lot of ways. But that's beside the point I'm trying to make. What?

Blogging about Blogging... I think

I have never owned a blog. Well, wait, not entirely true. I have. I started a blog, posted once, forgot about it, and was later notified by Blogger that they worried my small and pathetic internet cubicle was a "spam blog". Traumatized me for life. Er, until now, anyway.

Which brings me to why I am starting this blog now:

And that was your answer. I have absolutely no clue why I am beginning this ridiculous thing, and it certainly isn't to tell my family about it. They think I hate blogs. And I won't tell any friends, either, because I kind of want this to be a very separate and private documentation of my thoughts and feelings. Or something cheesy like that. Dunno yet.

I doubt anyone will read it - at least not regularly - but I need some way of writing my opinions online. At least, I think I do.

Be back later with more.
