I'm known as Orli on ze interwebs, and I am 20 years old, born and bred in the Bible Belt on the bluff of the Mighty Mississip, going into my sophomore year in college, and I had planned on becoming an equine vet. But I royally screwed up in chemistry first semester and realized that if I couldn't pass a simple, basic Chem. 1 then I definitely didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of passing all the sciences (and math courses) I'd have to take for and in vet school.
I was always a decent enough writer through school (not just high school, but in middle school too) and am something of a grammar Nazi. So my career plan B was to be an English major - I either want to teach English, I can't decide whether I want to do Lit. or more grammar oriented things, or I want to work for a publishing house as an editor.
I went to Italy last March, and I loved it. I took five years of Latin, and so I know quite a bit about Ancient Greece and Roman culture, history, mythology, etc. I had always loved Italy anyway, but now that I've been to Rome, Florence, Ostia, Lucce, and Sienna I REALLY want to go back. My dream job now is to work in the Rome or Florence, or maybe even Venice, branch of whatever publishing house has one there.
Um... I'm a nerd. =)
I really am. I only ever read fantasy novels of my own free will - some literary classics if I have heard good things and they seem interesting enough - and some of my favorite books now were either summer reading or assigned readings for school.
Aside from Tale of Two Cities, I'm not a Dickens fan. And I don't like Steinbeck - at all.
Oh, I am a walking encyclopedia for actors and actresses. I can usually name them and tell you other movies and such they starred in. It comes in handy sometimes haha.
Um... I'm musically retarded. I listen mostly to either movie soundtracks or Broadway (mainly because all the rest of my music was on my mom's computer back home) but I'll listen to pretty much anything.
Country>rap. End of story.
Some of my favorite bands/artists are Foo Fighters, Goo Goo Dolls, The Killers, 30 Seconds to Mars, Jack Johnson, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers... That's all I can think of right now.
Um... I don't know what else to say that won't bore the pants off y'all. (More than they already are, that is)
Oh, Natalie Moore is my one and only baby, so go post on her plot page or PM me with any and all ideas you might have. =)
