In my spare time (well, all of my time), I read and write fiction and nonfiction. The stuff I have published on the net is Pirates of the Caribbean fanfic and, currently, a Star Wars drabble. Here's the link:

My writing means so much to me. It's truly an addiction. If you put an empty sheet of paper and a writing utensil in front of me, I will not rest until I have filled it. When life gets boring, you can defeat Jedi as a Sith Lord or Battle the EITC as a pirate.
PLEASE VISIT THIS LINK!

General
I am a hardened chain-reader! Reading is one--scratch that, my ULTIMATE FAVORITE PASTTIME! My favorite kinds of books are classical literature and nonfiction (preferably hardcover), and thrillers (preferably paperback...don't ask me why...I have no idea!)
I have an account on Shelfari, so here's the link:
www.shelfari.com/i_got_a_jar_o f_dirt
For those of you who don't know what shelfari is, it's like myspace (or Brickfish!), but everything revolves around books. I HIGHLY recommend it!
Favorite authors:
Robert Louis Stevenson
Jules Verne
William Shakespeare
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
R. A. Salvatore
Michael Moore
Stephen King
Favorite books:
Treasure Island
Kidnapped
Around the World in 80 Days
Two Years Before the Mast
Dracula
The Death Gate Cycle
The Dragonlance Saga
The Dinosaur Heresies
Roget's International Thesaurus, 6th Edition
Julius Caesar
Love's Labour's Lost
Much Ado About Nothing
Will in the World
A Short History of Nearly Everything
Misery
Dreams
Here is a basic timeline of what I'd like to accomplish with my life.
-In five years, I will be in college, hopefully at Cedar Crest, Montana State, or Ohio University. (not Ohio State)
-In ten years, I'll probably still be in college.
-In fifteen years, I hope to be starting my career at the American Museum of Natural History as an assistant curator/lab technician.
-In twenty years, I'll be Head Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the AMNH, working in countries like China, Mongolia, and Argentina. I hopefully will have been able to name a dinosaur or two by now. (some possible names: Michaelmooresaurus or Stephencolbertsaurus)
-In thirty, forty, and fifty years, the same.
-In sixty years, I'll win 200 million dollars from the lottery, retire to Venice, Italy, and donate the remainder of my fortune to charity.
-In one hundred years, I will kick the bucket and have my body cryogenically frozen.
-In three hundred years, I will be reanimated by the hyper-intelligent, fully sentient race of robots that wrested control of Earth away from their human masters around the year 2150.
Music
FALL OUT BOY
Maroon 5
CLASSICAL MUSIC! (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, the Turtle Island String Quartet, and the Vitamin String Quartet)
- Fall Out Boy Lyrics
Movies
My favorites are Pirates of the Caribbean, Sweeney Todd, Star Wars, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Simpsons Movie, and any documentary by Michael Moore. BATMAN IS AWESOME. Well, not so much Batman as the Joker...he's my favorite character [big surprise, I know]. (Below is a spoof of the batman trailer)
People
I generally prefer the people in my head to those in real life.
Places
I live in Pennsylvania. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty nice place...but I REALLY want to travel. Wanderlust has always been an affliction of my family's.
After reading about it in War and Peace, I really would like to visit Russia. Namely, Moscow.
Edinburgh (the capital of Scotland) is built on an extinct volcano. Castles overlook the stately, history-packed city.
Venice, Italy!!! For the gondolas and excellent Italian food.
Mongolia, because of the important fossil finds and because my ancestors hail from there.
Panama to see the Panama canal.
France for the culture and Johnny Depp.
Brazil for the exoticness and rainforests, not to mention the Amazon river.
