ONE SCHLOCK'S REQUIEM

I am a Schlock.. a normal childhood, a normal life, all normality... and i hate it.. there is nothing that makes me any different for any other person i've ever encountered.. there is no deep dark family secret that pains the earth.. no deformality that makes me look like a freak... i am normal, except i know that i am normal and strive to be different.. why the fuck would i want to be some predictable food-eating mammal, when i can regret and dwell on being one....

currently-
i am attending the University of Wisconsin for a Mathematics Major, Computer Science Minor, and International Studies Minor... although i wish to become a better artist, i cannot continue through life without support from another skill of mine... but until then i'm also an officer for our college's anime club...

interests-
my main interests lie within the sounds for Europe, the empathy of drama, and the sights of japan.. i love the sounds of Electronica beats pulsing within my ears.. the silent thunder of variations in tone and bass are magnificient.. i also love a thoughtful piece of creativity.. like a heartfelt love story that expresses all the emotions, or the bewilderment of psycological confusion.. artists and directors strive to add these to their works but few succeed.. Japan is another main interest of mine.. Their animation is far superb to that elsewhere in the world.. they succeed at all aspects of animation.. with artwork, animation, story, characters, and development.. I am also an avid console gamer as well.. a devoted fan to Squaresoft which tests my fandom more and more each Final Fantasy... my three favorties genres are Racing, Role Playing and Rhythm.. i excel at Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, and Dance Dance Revolution ^_^ ...

Well, I’m a 17 year old girl from Wisconsin. Brown hair, brown eyes. I’m pretty content with everything, I guess. Horray!

currently-
I’m a senior in high school, and plan on attending UW Madison next year to major in Computer Engineering. If I get in…O.O I’m a board member of our school's GSA, and I'm also the president of the Computer Club.

interests-
I like anime, obviously. I like video games too, but I haven’t sat down and played hardcore for a long time. Uh, I like to draw, but I’m not good at it. I like to listen to Gackt and Tatu, Type O Negative and Skinny Puppy, J rock and…well that’s about it, but I like it. I like shounen ai and DDR. Mostly you’ll find me wasting my life away online though. Not doing my homework. My favorite site in the whole world is www.fark.com. My favorite foods are TGI Friday’s bacon cheeseburgers, McDonald’s Cheeseburgers, Famous Dave’s ribs, and a whole slew of other things that aren’t remotely good for you.

favorite people-
Gackt (sexy hot singer), Julia (of Tatu), Piro (Megatoyko), David Eddings, Kurt Vonnegut, Dave Barry (authors), Nightow (Trigun), Hellsing people, Masamune Shiro (Ghost in the Shell), Gainax, all the shounen ai doujinshi artists of the world, the Gravitation Lady, and whoever invented Silly Putty

favorite things-
Heh, yay! I wrote a whole rant about this, now I get more! Okay. I’ll limit myself to 50. Dark chocolate, FLCL, Hellsing, Pringles, Trigun, snickers bars, anime parties, anime cons, anime rooms, anime full computers, a spool of anime full CDs, awesome anime suppliers, shounen ai, Gackt pics, Vanilla coke, cool looking pens, sweet looking drawings, cute people, oekakis, hair gel, blue mascara, MST3k, Fark.com, cable ties, cheap pants from thrift stores, finished math homework, graphing calculators, getting webpages to work, telling an asshole to shut up, rainbow things, the phone, email, Baka-chan (my computer), having money, Hello Kitty products, awesome action figures, fractal tights, Vanilla-live, getting things to work, black long-sleeved shirts, hoodies, fireplace, my burner, the perfect CD with all good music, The Onion, my sketchbook, your mom, online journals, caffeine, cool stuff.
