11 Random Things about me

1: I've always been a bit of a Tomboy(I've become more increasingly so as I've gotten older). I never liked jewelry or make up and I liked both Princesses and Dinosaurs. I also have been very interested in space, the solar system, and other galaxies ever since I was five years old. I also never liked romance stories and would hide my eyes when people kissed on screen(I still do this-haha, though I do get crushes now that I'm older). I also am very interested in weapons such as lightsabers, swords, bow and arrows, and martial arts.So yeah, you could definitely say I'm a tomboy.

2: I did dance for seven years. I started when I was four and stopped when I was ten. I did ballet the entire time, tap for five years, and jazz for one year. I enjoyed it very much and I'm glad that I did it since I got me to love being on stage(I remember my first time on stage way back when I was five. I kept thinking about how cool it was).

3: Before I continue I'd like to say STAR WARS RULES!!! IT'S AWESOME!!!.
I'm one of those Star Wars fans/geeks/fangirls who considers the EU more canon then The Clone Wars. The reason behind that is because I started getting into the EU right after watching the films back when I was nine years old(the first book I 'read' was "Yoda: Dark Rendezvous"; my Dad read it to my sister and I and we loved it). So you could say that, beside it being the thing I saw first, I also have a child-like fondness for the EU that I have for the movies.

4: I have OCD. I found out back when I was about 10 that I had it. If you don't know what OCD is, it stands for "Obsession Compulsive Disorder" and what it pretty much is that your brain gets stuck on a subject(most of the time it's something you don't want to think about or something that makes you angry/upset). I don't have it too bad and I've definitely improved a lot on it.

5: I was born Emergency C-Section. This happened because I had meconium in my lungs and my umbilical cord was tied in three knots. I ended up being transported my helicopter(I was only a few hours old) to a larger hospital where I stayed hooked up to a monitor. Poor baby me :( But I did get to fly in a helicopter which not many can say, so yay! :D

6: I'm going to Celebration VI this year! I don't which days but I'm going to be going for two of them. I'll be dressing up in my Jedi cloak and tunic(with everything that goes with it). I am REALLY looking forward to this even since I'm going to get to be around a bunch of Star Wars fans and I'll even get to meet a few actors.

7: I'm not much of a romantic(I've never read a romance novel..well, except for Twilight but I didn't like that book at all and I'm sure if it counts as one).
But I really liked the pairings of Obi-Wan/Siri, Qui-Gon/Tahl, Anakin Solo/Tahiri Veila, Darra/Ferus, Jaina/Zekk, and Tenel Ka/Jacen. I'm definetely a huge Siri-Wan fan and it's the only romance surrounding Obi-Wan that I believe is canon.

8: I'm a Liberal Democrat and a Christian(I'm a Lutheran; the E.L.C.A branch. I also have some Universalist leanings). I have a strong hold my beliefs and know what I think and believe. I have respect for people who believe and think differently then I do and understand that others have differentiating opinions(whether it be political, religious, or even Star Wars canon) and I try to get along with people of all religious or political backgrounds as long as they respect my opinions on things as well.

9: My favorite types of fiction are Science Fiction and Fantasy. I love watching films and t.v shows and reading books in these genres. I love all stories about adventures in space and in other lands where good and evil must battle it out. I also write in these two genres(though I plan on doing others as well). I've written five books in a science fiction series so far and I really like how it is. I also really want to be in films in these two genres. I'm an actor, writer, filmmaker, singer, taekwondo trainee, piano and clarinet player, and a Jedi :)

10: I started Taekwondo last month and I hope to test soon for my yellow stripe. I really enjoy it and I've learned quite a lot. Besides martial arts, two other physically active activities I've done are soccer, softball, and basketball. I loved both soccer and basketball but I didn't enjoy softball all that much(I did it for two years). The main reason I didn't like softball all that much was because I was always stuck in the outfield where nothing happened.

11: I'm a total Star Wars fangirl/geek/fan/nerd person! I love the films, the books, the t.v shows(both of them), the games, and the comics(which I have yet to read but which look really epic). I've loved it since I was nine and saw "A New Hope" for the first time. The Jedi have always fascinated me and I've always thought it would be cool to be one. Other stories I really, really love are- Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, and any other really well written work. :)

11 Random Questions(asked by Savanna)

1: What do you think of homeschoolers? Well, I AM a homeschooler so I think they are awesome! I've been homeschooled my entire life and I'm very glad that I have been since I've been able to be who I wanted to be and I don't succumb to peer pressure.

2: What was your favorite TV show as a child?
I was always more of a movie kind of girl when I was small but I always loved watching shows on PBS Kids. I also enjoyed watching The Amazing Race and Little House on the Prairie.

3: What is your main passion in life? Well, I have more than one. Here they are: Acting, writing, filmmaking, and Star Wars. I want to be an actor, writer, and filmmaker when I grow up and Star Wars is such a big part of who I am that I had to add it. :)

4: If you had to choose one song to represent your life what would it be?
Faith of the Heart by Russell Watson. It's a very uplifting song about overcoming things in your life and that is what I've done in the past and what I know I'll have to do in the future. Here is the song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpQNQLV3SN4

5: Ice Cream or Popsicle? Ice Cream of course! I love both but I just really, really LOVE Ice Cream. It's definetely my favorite dessert and one of my favorite foods.

6: Who is your favorite villain(from a movie or a t.v show)?
Darth Vader, The Emperor, Spike, Sauron, Voldemort, The Firelord, The Mayor, and Rumpelstiltskin(from Once Upon a Time)

7: Who do you greatly admire in this world?
Those who the world forgets but who help those in need. Those that put aside their own desires for the help of others. People who do what is right no matter the pain that must be endured. People who strive to do good for their fellow neighbor.
And I also admire George Lucas, Jude Watson, Matthew Stover, J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S Lewis, and many other creators of amazing works.

8: How would you describe your clothing style? Plain, modest, casual, and sometimes slightly boyish. I don't wear anything with a V neck or a U neck or anything that is too tight or thin.

9. Do you like thrill rides (roller coasters, etc) at amusement parks? Yes!!!! They are awesome and really fun to ride.

10. Have you ever been to Disney World or Disneyland? I went to Disney World back when I was six and loved it! I remember having so much fun while I was there and I can't wait to go there again this summer.

  4. Yeah I'm a bit of a tomboy too! But I still like some girly things.

    I love romance, but not romance novel style! =p I read a Christian romance novel set in Bible times, it wasn't bad, but I can't say I'll read that sort of thing again!

    1. Cool! I'm much into romance, but if it's done well enough(and if it isn't all that gross) then it doesn't bother me all that much. I actually really like Obi-Wan Kenobi/Siri Tachi, Qui-Gon Jinn/Tahl, Anakin Solo/Tahiri Veila, Jaina Solo/Zekk, and Ferus Olin/Darra Thel Tanis(which I speculate is true)
