Hello all! This is Duckie24, formerly known as A Bloom.

I'm a girl living in the USA. I am a die-hard Democrat and I can't stand Bush. That's the extent of my political-ness. I am quite the little freaky gal but not in a fetish-type way. I just have no attention span and I tend to drift off on the oddest tangents. Good word. Tangents. Like tangerines. I like tangerines. I also like raspberries. Besides fruit, I like meat, which I recently started eating again because I was getting too skinny. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. A skinny American! Okay, maybe you weren't, but for all the articles on "Obese America", the thought would've hit you at some point.

I love movies and far too many of them to list here. A few highlights are any of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Mary Poppins, About a Boy, Chocolat, and many others. I love cats, cows, and ducks. And yes, I still like About a Boy despite the scene where the kid chucks the bread at the duck and kills it. In fact, it's my favorite scene just because
it's so funny.

In terms of the male species, I recently got over Orlando Bloom after a long crush that began with the first of the LotR trilogy and spanned until about now (December 2004). Other eye-candy favorites include Johnny Depp, Eric Szmanda, Eric Close, and Colin Firth. And for random reasons that I cannot explain, I love the car dealer from the Volkswagon commercials and the guy from the IBM commercials.

My favorite shows and ships, are CSI (Greg/Sara), Without a Trace (Martin/Sam), and The West Wing (Josh/Donna, although,
who doesn't?).
