"It's just an ordinary day. I'm much too strange for this ordinary world"

("Ordinary", Greg Jones, Smallville lyrics)

Hello to the general public, i'm chef13 and I.., wait this is boring. Let's try again...

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

/clears throat/ yes...anyway!

Before we begin, let's get one thing straight; i am a nerd. Actually, i'm sort of a nerd/dork/geek/wierdo mixed breed. allow me to explain:

the nerd part comes from being on the computer 99 percent of the time, but not actually having much knowledge of how the machine works (if i did, i would be a total nerd), having about every non-food allergy in the world, and not being very social (At least around people i don't know...pity me partially deaf friends. LOL)

the geek part comes from wearing glasses, reading a lot and doing my homework all the time

the dork part comes from having a VERY unique fashion sense and blabbering like an idiot whenever an attractive person gets within 3 feet of me (getting better on that front, actually; have down-stepped to gibbering like a mad loon)

and the weirdo part comes from...well, you'll find out soon enough, if you read the rest of this.

in short, if i were a sitcom character, i would be the smart, funny girl, who ends up solving the conflict, but nearly ruining it by getting everyone trapped in a meat locker or something. (Like Steve Urkel on "Family Matters", only people aren't baracading the door to keep me out of their house)

i am all these things AND I AM PROUD! NERDS RULE!

(it's true, you know; in the future, you'll probably end up working for one.) and now, with out further adue...

ON WITH THE BIO!

Name-my name is chef13... well actually it's just a penname (duh) but you already knew that! (Hopefully, otherwise you weren't paying much attention, now were you?)

Age-OK now listen carefully. these instructions will tell you the mystery of my age; first, order some Chinese take out. (Pork Fried Rice and Lo Mein. No beansprouts, extra egg.) Then, eat the Chinese take out. Then, go for a jog to work off the extra calories. Then, come back to your house. Now open the fortune cookie. the first lucky number is my age. :) (What do you mean it says "Learn to say 'kosher pickle' in Chinese"!)

Aspired Career- i would like to be a movie Cinematographer/Editor. i've always been obsessed with movies and TV; i like to desect the plot and characters, find the symbolism in everything and and put all the events together to figure out the climax. i like to be transported to different worlds; places that don't really exist, but when you're watching a movie, they're real. now, you might say that a book could do the same thing, but, for me, movies do it in the best way. i'm a very visual person, and sometimes when i read a book, i just can't picture what the author is trying to illustrate. but when i watch a movie, i see it right in front of me and i seems so much more real that way. when i'm watching a really good movie, it makes me forget about everything else in my life becuase, in my mind, i'm in a whole other place and time.

i had originally thought about being an author, partially due to the work i did on this site,but i had never really been confortale with just handing a page of what i had written to somebody and saying "Here; tell me what you think." Becuase i wasn't really sure how the person was going to percive it. i really want people to see my creations the way that i do. and with movies, i can do that. people will know how i saw the material becuace that's exactly how they're seeing it. i can take the audience into my mind and hopefully give them the same feeling i love so much myslef; to be drawn into a different world that truly seems real.

Anyways, i really love movies. i have a lot of respect for them, they're a big part of who i am and i would really just like to be a part of that someday.

Favorite Movie- (Goes without saying seeing my career choice) My favorite animated movies are like ANY Disney/Dreamworks/you get what i'm sayingmovie! Plus The Nightmare Before Chirstmas, Spirited Away, stuff with the Muppets, and any other movie based on a Disney/fariy taletheme. (Ex.- Hook; Peter Pan based, Ever After; Cinderalle based. Are you getting the concept? good.) Basically, i love kid movies.

My favorite unanimaed movie is just about any comedy movie you can think of! Also Man in The Iron Mask, The Breakfast Club, and A Cinderella Story, and any movie with Johnny Depp in it that's not rated R. (Accept Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow, but that goes without saying becuase Ed Wood is funny as hell and Sleepy Hollow is the only horror movie i like becuase it actually has a plot, and isn't just a random demon eating people for no reason like most scary movies!)

Favorite Movie Character- Can't decide! probably one of Johnny Depp's characters because they're so bizzare. _

Favorite Book- The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. No question.

...Oh, you mean books that have chapters and are actually at my reading level? Well, OK, if that's the way you want it.

i think my favorite REAL books would probably be the Harry Potter Series, Holes, books by Roald Daul, the Series of Unfortunate Events, the Artemis Fowl series, His Dark materials, the Narnia series, Greek Mythology or any other kind of legend; basically any fantasy story out there! (I hate non-fiction! i mean, anybody can write down facts! sure, research is an important writing aspect, but it takes a REAL author to be able to make up a whole different world or something!) i love the movie versions of these as well, but they were books first, so they don't count for that.

Favorite TV Show- Basically anything on Nickelodeon, with a few acceptions. also, Who's Line is it Anyway, Smallville, Survivor, Red Dwarf (It's on the BBC; get with it, people!), House M.D., and Good Eats! (Alton Brown RULES!) Also stuff like the Simpsons, Will and Grace, That 70's Show, Boy Meets World, Family Guy, all that jazz.

Favorite Actor/Actress- Basiclly anyone who does comedy; Adam Sandler, Rob Schnieder, Mike Myers, Robin Williams, etc. (And, teehee, Jim Carrey)

Also... Jackie Chan (Loved him in Shanghi Noon and Shanghi Knights!)

And Johnny Depp (Ed Wood, Benny and Joon, Sleepy Hollow, POTC, Edward Scissorhands,Finding Neverland, What's Eating Glibert Grape, Chocoalt, and Don Juan Demarco! ALL INCREDIBLY AWESOME!) Plus, even though he's, like 40 years old, he is still SOOO hot! saWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Favorite Website- Probably this one. i also like homestarrunner.com (Strong Bad E-mail section!) and comedycentral.com because the videos are hularious. and rhymezone.com because it's my GOD! when it comes to content and vocabulary.

Favorite Food- Any starch with A1 sauce or vinegar on it. (if your starting to think i'm weird, you must have a VERY short attention span, because you should have started thinking that after the first paragraph of this bio!) Also, basically any other type of condiment. (Ketchup, mustard, mayonaise, other various sauces.) Oh, and anything chocolate or containing a HUGE amount of processed sugar (sugar high! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

Favorite Music: It depends on how i'm feeling; If i'm really hyper, then it's the Baha Men,the Beatles, Elton John or something you can sing or dance to; if i'm tired and don't want to do anything, then it's Clay Aiken, Ben Jelen or something slow. I don't have just one favorite band or singer. Anything i think sounds good at the time, really. (I usually first hear all the songs on my iPod from movies or TV; that's how big of a dork I am, as previously stated.)
