Introduce Yourself!

[bess]

Tell about youself, ex. what music you like, sports, pets, yada yada you get it?

My real names Andy, but you can call me Bess on here. I'm 19 and a college freshman. (Not telling you where I'm too paranoid!)
I have a few siblings and I'm the second youngest. I live by a bay, hence the name of my town, Bayville. A lot of people tell me I should have been a teen in the sixties due to my love of classic rock and vintage things. I have a job at an SPCA when I'm not in school working with the animals. It doesn't pay a ton, but its fun. Hey that rhymes! I can also be very CRAZY when I want to be.

Random Facts:

I always cry at the end of Romeo and Juliet even though I've seen it many times mainly when Juliet stabs herself though.

I make graphics. I might make one for you if you ask nicely and don't annoy me to finish it.

I just broke up with a guy I've been dating since my Freshman year of high school, so I've been kind sad lately I don't cry though I'm not like that.

[Susan Pevensie]

Weeeeell, I'm Sellis and along with Rachel, I built this place. And it's awesome, right? -threatens to eat anyone who doesn't agree- : P

I am a 16-year-old grade 11 (that's Junior, correct?) in BC, Canada. To clear things up, yes, Rachel and I do know each other in real life. We go to the same school, live two blocks away and everything. I spend my days at school, kicking the guys' asses at Taekwondo, playing Trombone, doing homework, stressing, writing/roleplaying, and making graphics if I have the muse/time. Well, sometimes I don't have time for it, but I make them anyways.

I'm a huge Harry Potter, Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Shakespeare (<3 Merchant of Venice), Sword of Truth, etc. fan. There's just too much to list.

If you haven't noticed, I adore Susan. And Edmund too, but Rach likes him more. I also adore the Narnia movies, though the books are also quite good.

I may write more in the future...

[talia]

well you guys don't get my real name (I don't give it out) but you can call me Leia or Talia, your choice really. I'll probably even respond to 'hey you' so I'm easy to get in contact with.
I'm eighteen, and like Bess, am a first year at college. (yes, I go to a college--liberal arts college--not a university) And like Bess, I won't say where ;-]
I'm a philosophy and English Literature double major, though that may be changed to psychology and philosophy, or psychology and music performance.
My goal is to be a criminal prosecutor, partially because...well, I'm extremely good at arguing and am pretty stubborn when I want to be.
I'm the oldest of three, five years my sister's senior, and my brother is a year younger than her.

things to know about me:

• I'm a huge movie buff. I love movies. Good movies. I do tend to be harsh when I'm criticizing movies though, so just a disclaimer: if I ever say anything that offends someone about a movie they like, I'm sorry and don't take it personally.
  
  
• I'm a big supporter of everyone seeing the classic 'must-see' movies, and I think its appalling that some teenagers my generation haven't seen things like Casablanca or The Godfather. And I think its even worse when teens have seen some fabulous older movie and hate it either because a: "its old" b: "its black-and-white, I hate black-and-white" or c: "<insert popular 'teen' movie title here that's entertaining but lacking in quality> is sooo much better." Oh, and I'm a strong supporter of "the original is/was better" the only remake I've seen that I like as much or better than the original was King Kong.
  
  
• I love discussing movies, so I'll discuss any movie I've seen with anybody, but if you ask me, you're not allowed to get offended by my opinion, thanks.
  
  
• I couldn't possibly list ALL my favorite movies, so I'll just name a few, in no particular order:
  && The Godfather, parts I and II
  && It's a Wonderful Life
  && The Dark Knight
  && Miracle on 34th St
  && Star Wars (original trilogy)
  && K*19: The Widowmaker
  && The Lives of Others
  && Slumdog Millionaire
  && Fight Club
  && Ben Hur
  && Doubt
  && Rear Window
  && Indiana Jones (trilogy)
  && Batman Returns
  && Air Force One
  && Lord of the Rings (trilogy)
  && West Side Story
  && My Fair Lady
  && Witness

  && Gary Oldman
  && Liam Neeson

  && Natalie Portman
  && Meryl Streep
  && Kate Winslet
  && Aurdey Hepburn
  && Julie Andrews

• I also love reading. I love books, plays, books...yeah, I love reading. like both of you above me, I love Shakespeare. I went on a study-abroad trip to study Shakespeare in Oxford England, and it was the best experience of my life. I love all of Shakespeare's works, and my favorite, under-rated play is Titus Andronicus. It was his first tragedy, and it is horribly gruesome.
  
  
• a few favorite books/series:
  && The complete works of William Shakespeare. (duh)
  && The Prydain Chronicles: Lloyd Alexander
  && everything by JRR Tolkien
  && The Sound and the Fury: William Faulkner
  && A Separate Peace: John Knowles
  && The Chronicles of Narnia: CS Lewis (um, duh?)
  && everything Sherlock Holmes: Arthur Conan Doyle
  && Trixie Belden: Julie Campbell/Kathryn Kenny
  and many more, but its finals week so I haven't had free reading time in ages, and I'm drawing a blank..
  
  
• I'm a musician, I've played violin and viola all my life (yes, I do mean literally, I started when I was one and a half) so I love classical music. Tchaikovsky is my favorite composer, I love him. And I'm quite fond of The Nutcracker. I go see it every Christmas.
  
  
• other music I like; Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, The Beatles...classic swing music, classical music, musicals, and movie soundtracks. I'm a sucker for movie soundtracks.
  
  
• a few favorite musicals:
  && West Side Story
  && My Fair Lady
  && The Sound of Music
  && Fiddler on the Roof
  && Spring Awakening
  && Sweeney Todd
  && Chicago

so that's all I can think of at the moment... I may add more if I think of anything I forgot..

My name is Rachel. You can call me Rach or Rachy. I helped build this site with Sellis and I second her threat. I am 16 years old, one month older than Sellis, and I live in B.C. Canada. I go to school, do homework, hang out with friends when I can, figure skate and roleplay, of course. I speak English, French and Chinese fluently. And yes, I am Chinese. Though my mom thinks that one of my great grandparents was Dutch because my grandfather looks kinda like a caucasion when he was younger. Otherwise, I'm just mixed with some Japanese and Mongolian blood(speculating though), considering China's history... And no, I wasn't born in China, I was born in the US.

[tezraleehalloway]

Hey everybody!
I'm brand new and I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce myself (properly)

My name is Becky - but, of course, you can call me by my character's name, Tezra. It's just so much easier than trying to remember me by my real name. Plus, I hate my real name. haha.

I'm 19 years old, just finished one year of university and am in the process of switching schools and moving to the Vancouver Film School. Currently, I live in one of the ugliest places in Canada: Saskatchewan. It is true: if you stand on a chair, you can see all across the province. It's that flat and boring. Just hideous. haha So, I'm very eager to move to BC.

Clearly, (since I'm hoping to attend a very prestigious film school - Actually, come to mention it, graduates from this school worked on the production of the Chronicles of Narnia films as well as many other major motion pictures. One even won an Oscar for his work in Lord of the Rings - it's a pretty big deal. haha) the love of my life is Film. Generally, I'm the type of apiring film maker to focus more on the plots and the way I want to shoot a movie rather than the more technical aspects. Hence, I am going to school to become either a director or a sceenwriter and I currently have four film synopsis' in the works as well as one work-in-progress screenplay that I'm working on.

Come to think of it, I spend over 90% of my time either writing or daydreaming of some big elaborate plot. It's just so much nicer to live in my made up worlds instead of the real one that I'm trapped in

I'll go with the flow of other people's "random facts" and post a few lists:

(Some of my) Favorite Movies:

- Moulin Rouge
- Romeo + Juliet (Both directed by Baz Luhrman. The man is an absolute genius.)
- The United States of Leland
- A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints
- The Dark Knight
- Seven Pounds
- Dr. Strangelove
- Of course, The Chronicles of Narnia films
- Harry Potter films (cliche, but they are quite good. haha)
- Interview with a Vampire
- Iron Man
- A Life Less Ordinary
- Se7en
- Brokeback Mountain
- Transformers
- Disturbia
- Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade
