Profile Information
About Me:.....................
I love movies and music. I am eccentric and like strange things. I want people to be happy. I say just be yourself. Don't try to be something you're not. Real friends won't mind how crazy and strange you are, and they will always be there for you. I love to laugh, laughter is the best medicine for what ales ya.
Activities:.....................
Talking in Accents, Drawing, Longboarding, Photography, Snowboarding, Car Shows, Going to Coffee Shops, Spending time at the Library, Watching Plays, Theater, Speaking Japanese.
Interests:.....................
Art, Movies, Music, Cars, Anime, Photography, Cinematography, Voice Acting, Costumes, Special FX Makeup, Japanese Language, Poetry, Superheroes, Witchcraft, Werewolves, Vampires, Ninjas, Pirates. Whoo hoo, PIRATES!
Careers:.....................
I like doing character designs, doing photography, I can do 3-D animation, I would like to do camera work for live-action films, or anything on live-action films. Doing Makeup, or maybe be the person that keeps track of the script and reminding the actors what their lines are, or how about the Slate clapper, or perhaps a PA. Doing Voice Work for cartoons or Japanese tv shows would be pretty interesting. I like to write short stories and poetry. Writing and Illustrating childrens books would be fun. Maybe I could learn to play the guitar and write some music. Hummm...there are too many things I would like to do.
