Welcome to my profile, a place that has sat quietly and gathered dust for nearly a year before I decided to update it.
Myself: My name is Rebekah and I'm a sophomore student with a passion for fiction and music. I reside in a microscopic New York town with my family and imaginary friend Porifirio.
Hobbies: Since I have no life, most of my free time is comprised of chilling with Porifirio ( :) ), playing guitar/flute/piano, writing, reading, or cooking. I love gastronomy! I also invest worthless time in feeble attempts to learn foreign languages and doing research on topics that will never ever matter...like Russian food. I've always had the backwards hope that someday all of this will become relevant.
I also enjoy Model UNs and journalism.
Music: Phew, this could take a while: My favorite bands include Franz Ferdinand, Cut Copy, Belle and Sebastian, Regina Spektor, The Beatles, Queen, The Kaiser Chiefs, We Are Scientists, The Cribs, Dirty Pretty Things, The Libertines, Kings of Leon, The Yummy Fur, The Karelia, The Amphetameanies, The Police, The Kinks, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Bad Religion, Clint Mansell, The Hives, The Vines, Smashing Pumpkins, The Decemberists...does any of this matter? I think not! I also have a band with my friend that we have proudly christened Bothering Mason.
Movies: Anything and everything with the talented Mr. Cillian Murphy! So that means Red Eye, Batman Begins, Breakfast on Pluto, Intermission...I also like Rachel McAdams, my favorites of hers also being Red Eye, Wedding Crashers, The Family Stone, and The Notebook. Aside from that, I like Crybaby, Edward Scissorhands, Halloween, The Princess Bride, and um...yeah...a lot of Disney movies as well. I'm going to stop now...
Television: I actually am not a huge TV fan, but among my favorites are the classics: Full House, Boy Meets World, etc, and then my guilty pleasures: Gilmore Girls, Friday Night Lights, The Soup, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Books: Naturally, the classics are at the top of the list: The Princess Bride, The Catcher In The Rye, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath, Anne Frank: Diary Of A Young Girl...I also enjoy thrillers and the Christian fiction series Left Behind.
Idols: I'll start with the obvious: my friends and family. Now, I'll move to the rational.Helen Keller and Anne Frank, two undeniable symbols of feminine strength, and Mahatmas Gandhi, whom I believe every living person should aspire to be. Then I have Alex Kapranos and Freddy Mercury, my musical inspirations, and Cillian Murphy, my all around obsessee. I would marry the man if possible. Lastly I have Batman. Why? Hello. 'Cause he's Batman.
My Writing: Currently, I like to get in over my head with fic, and all of them happen to be categorized under Red Eye.
