About
Let's see...well, I'm an ex-gymnast/pole vaulter. I really miss both sports, but unfortunately can't participate in them anymore. I also used to do cross country, although I wasn't very good at it.
Favorite music: I like basically anything except rap, but there are a couple rap songs that I think are okay. Chopin is among my all-time favorites. Lately I'm been somewhat obsessed with Lady GaGa, Taylor Swift, and The Phantom of the Opera, but overall, I love a wide variety of music. Mostly I just listen to it, but I play a little bit of piano (not well), and I used to play trumpet, French horn, and mellophone. I really, really wish I could sing.
Favorite movies (in no particular order): The Titanic, The Dark Knight, About A Boy
Favorite TV shows (in no particular order): House, M.D.; The Simpsons; Malcolm in the Middle (I can't BELIEVE they got rid of this for TMZ!); Family Guy; Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles; Will and Grace; Glee; Family Guy, Teen Titans
Favorite books (in no particular order): Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (I'm only halfway through it, but I can already tell it's going to be my all-time favorite); The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver; The Moorchild by Eloise McGraw; The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer (please don't be put off by this. I swear I'm not one of those shrieking, lunatic, bite-your-head-off-if-you-insult-the-books, scream-every-time-Robert-Pattinson-touches-his-hair girls); The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling; Matilda by Roald Dahl; Frankenstein by Mary Shelley; Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Religious views: Episcopalian, I suppose.
Political views:
-Affirmative action is reverse racism and reverse sexism.
-Being politically correct is ridiculous.
-Abortion should not be used as a get-out-of-jail-free card so people can be irresponsible.
-Illegal immigration needs to be stopped. Illegal immigrants should be deported. They should NOT be given driver's licenses, jobs, free health care, and education at the expense of American taxpayers. I have nothing against LEGAL immigrants, but I have little sympathy for illegal immigrants. If they want to be a part of this country, they can do it legally. We need to stop rolling out the red carpet for these people. If they want to be American, they can follow America's rules.
-Welfare needs to be reduced. It was intended to be TEMPORARY help for people who genuinely couldn't find work during the Great Depression. It has evolved into a lifestyle in which people don't even try to find work and/or have babies just to live off the welfare money. I am beyond P.O.ed that when I get a job, my taxes will be going towards these people.
-If they make owning guns illegal, I guess I'm going to be a criminal, because I am NOT living without a gun.
-Murderers and rapists should be locked up for life. They don't deserve to be free, no matter how well they behave in jail.
-Pro-death penalty.
-People convicted of DUIs should not be given a second chance.
If anyone agrees (or disagrees) with any of those views, PM me, and I will be glad to discuss them with you.
Hobbies: I like drawing, but I don't have much time for it and am not at all good at it. Piano playing, as mentioned above. I think I'm forgetting some...if I think of more, I'll come back and add them later.
Random facts:
I am addicted to minesweeper.
Please don't call people r*tards. There are people out there who genuinely are retarded, and it's tragic, and it's nothing they can help. It is incredibly rude to use this term derogatively.
Please don't use the word "gay" derogatively. Again, it's just not nice. People who are gay don't choose to be gay any more than heterosexuals choose to be heterosexual, or any more than a person with freckles chooses to have freckles. So stop with the insults.
Foreign languages fascinate me, and I hope to be some kind of interpreter/translator when I grow up.
I love cats.
I love fish (as pets, not to eat).
And...I think that's it for now.
