THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF:
1. My eyes
2. General body shape.
3. Being small (short, and small-framed).
THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF:
1. Skin problems.
2. My hair decided to stop being red (it was when I was little).

THREE PARTS OF YOUR HERITAGE:

2. Time with friends.
3. Time with my cat.
THREE THINGS YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW:
1. My silver and amber pendant.
2. White turtleneck sweater.
3. My pentacle ring. I'm not Wiccan, but I can't seem to give this ring up - I've worn it for something like six years, now, almost without stop. It's part of me, now, I think.
THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE BANDS OR MUSICAL ARTISTS:
1. Sarah McLachlan
2. Barenaked Ladies
3. Lifehouse

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO REALLY BADLY RIGHT NOW:
1. Be done with my thesis.
2. Write something just for fun.

THREE PLACES YOU WANT TO GO ON VACATION:
1. New Zealand
2. England

THREE WAYS THAT YOU ARE STEREOTYPICALLY A BOY:
1. I wear jeans almost every day.
2. I get away for months on end with wearing hiking boots everywhere.
3. I swear too much, and think South Park is hilarious.
THREE WAYS THAT YOU ARE STEREOTYPICALLY A CHICK:
1. I listen to a lot of 'girly' music/love songs.
2. I can't stand gore in movies.
3. I wear makeup and love to dress up.
THREE CELEB CRUSHES:
1. Johnny Depp is undeniably gorgeous.
2. I worship the air on which Alan Rickman's voice floats, even though he's getting kind of pudgy in his upper years. I miss the days of "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." Damn that man was beautiful, then.
3. Peter Wingfield doesn't count, because I swoon over his appearance, but it's his character I'm really crushing on. So there. ;)

1. Total number of films I own on DVD/video:
I'm going to random-guess about fifteen, since I'm at work. No, not many.
2. The last film I bought:
I... have no idea. Wow. I don't think I've bought any since
narsilion gave me Return of the King, Shrek 2, and Van Helsing for Christmas. Although I hear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is now available on DVD, and if that is the case I will be buying it.
3. The last film I watched:
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Oh, I forgot about Howl's Moving Castle! I saw that. *Shifty eyed* Don't ask how. It was very good, though.
4. Five films I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (no particular order):
Oh god. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Moulin Rouge, Sense and Sensibility, Shakespeare in Love and Ed Wood. No particular explanations for any of those. Except that Tom Stoppard is a god, and all writers or would-be writers should worship the amazing things he does with dialogue.
5. Tag 5 people and have them put this in their journal.
Oh....
narsilion,
ladysonnet,
zinjadu because it'd be fun to watch her squirm trying to pick only five,
theladyfeylene and
nekokoban for the same reason.
