This is not a real 文章 on anything of actual relevance to the 潮流粉丝俱乐部 DPs. This is a miscellaneous piece "about myself" for a topic--- because I was forced the write recommendation letters for myself a lot of late...and now I just feel like I can tackle a "blip" 文章 like this without completely gagging over how boring I appear.
Well, my name is Laura. I'm glad my mother refused to let my grandmother name me, Jennifer. ( Grandma did name my cousin, Jennifer, though. So there is a Jennifer in the family).
What would be worth saying about me...?
Okay. I guess I'm vocal, though half of the time people would really like me to be quiet. I grew up hearing other kids and adults tell me to "be quiet and to shut up" a lot --- so perhaps I'm now bucking their authority, and making up for 迷失 time.
My opinions aren't really accepted 由 anyone, save my closest friends. My mother doesn't like the way I think, which is why she is always trying to "correct my thinking" and "stop me from making stupid statements." lol, lol, lol.
Let's see... In my short and crammed 31 years of being alive I have managed to do the following:
1) Kept going to school; I now have four degrees, and am going back to school for some 更多 certifications, soon. Most of my degrees are in the sciences, but I do have an associates in the arts.
2) Had classical musical training via studying piano, and playing in state 钢琴 competitions; also playing accompaniment for my sister, a violinist; and playing in worship/youth bands. I was the keyboardist for everyone for the LONGEST TIME.
3) Had martial arts training, and received a first degree black 带, 皮带 in Korean Tae Kwon Do. ( I can relate to 花木兰 having to train hard to gain endurance/ body strength). It's been years, but my 最喜爱的 kicks are still the round-kick, the hook-kick, the reverse hook-kick, and the tornado kick.
4) Drew an inordinate amount of pictures, and learned to draw from literally staring at Trina Schart Hyman's detailed illustrations/ paintings until my eyes hurt and I had each of them memorized; never went to formal art school, but someone who did, taught me pointillism; I got out of art because art does not pay, and some artists can be overly jealous creatures, very quick to put down others as being "less talented" than they are. BullS*T.
5) Wrote an inordinate amount of stories; got no traction when I tried to send/submit two of them; editors 爱情 slush piles and shoving any kind of story they can into the trash; editors are extremely picky people in the creative 写作 world; I have abandoned 写作 much of anything not related to science.
6) Started collecting 迪士尼 stuff as a kid. Didn't think about that really until now. But I kept all of my old 史努比 and Ariel stuff. I kept the mylar 花木兰 balloon my mother got me. Now I'm collecting tons of Ariel things ( because 迪士尼 suddenly allowed a plethora of products to become available last 年 and this year). I began collecting snow globes from my 最喜爱的 迪士尼 movies.
7) Doll-making started in my childhood. I sewed my own 熊 and rabbit. Sewed tons of rag 玩偶 and outfits for them. Created my own marionette. Took up crochet, and have crocheted Ponyo, Merida, Mulan, and Ariel 玩偶 with detachable fins, dresses, outfits, etc. (You won't find these DP 玩偶 anywhere but Etsy; they cost a fortune, and those 玩偶 aren't as detailed as mine. I looked at screencaps for mine. Thinking about doing Rapunzel, next. But my 最喜爱的 screencap site first got banned 由 Disney, and then, when the individual finally got permission from 迪士尼 to put it up again, his/her harddrive crashed and he/she 迷失 three years of work and all of the pics. Poor guy/girl).
8) Somewhere along the way I learned to dress better, and find clothes and an eclectic style that fit me; did goth, did bohemian; did my own piercings ( to my mother's horror and tirades), but did not venture into tattoos; jewelry became a uniform and an "armor" that I could "don" --- since everyone seemed to relate to that easily, and not to my 爱情 of 阅读 books, and to my ADORATION of Dickens's David Copperfield ( my 最喜爱的 book in the world. Yes, it did 最佳, 返回页首 Tolkien and C.S. Lewis for me). Yes, I am part Mulan, part Ariel, part Belle, part Merida, and part Rapunzel. Now 你 can see why I sort of relate to those princesses and NOT to Elsa and Anna. The ONLY thing I relate to with the 《冰雪奇缘》 sisters is liking chocolate.
So. I'm literate, and like 阅读 A LOT. I read scientific 文章 from scientific journals nearly all the time, which are harder than 阅读 Shakespearean plays because they get all technical with the jargon. Shakespeare is a low-demand, fun read now. I used to read Macbeth and Hamlet for fun. 阅读 everything feels like 阅读 a picture book right now. Heck, 阅读 Tolkien, Le Guin, Neil Gaiman, Terry Goodkind, Diana Gabaldon, Jacqueline Carey, and George R.R. Martin feel like 阅读 children's chapter books-- even if they're meant for adult readers. I rarely meet a word I don't know the meaning of at this point, and when I do, that's when my buddy, Dr. Dictionary, arrives.
So. I like the 音乐 most in 迪士尼 movies, and the characters a little mess so. The plot in a 迪士尼 movie, 或者 any other movie--- can not be FULL OF HOLES, 或者 I will NEVER re-watch it. But here are my 最喜爱的 迪士尼 movies.
1. Mulan
2. The Little Mermaid
3. Tangled
4. 《勇敢传说》 ( the PIXAR/DISNEY mashup)
5. Pocahontas
6. Hercules
7. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
8. Beauty and the Beast
9. Tarzan
10.The Nightmare Before Christmas
11. 阿拉丁
12. The Lion King
(Frozen doesn't appear, because...it was truly the most underwhelming 迪士尼 movie I have ever seen. It made the three original Walt 迪士尼 technicolor pictures seem far better in their delivery, message, pacing, and songs).
My 最喜爱的 电影院 of all in general are The Lord of The Rings trilogy 由 Peter Jackson. 秒 runner ups are Jame's Cameron's 太空 odyssey, Avatar, and his tear-jerker 泰坦尼克号 in small doses. Joss Whedon's Serenity, and his "The Avengers" are both exemplar comedic adventures. The plots in all of the above 电影院 work WELL. I do also like the Kate Beckinsale 黑夜传说 movies, where weirdly corrupt genetic science meets 吸血鬼 and werewolves.
Still 爱情 Tim 伯顿 movies. I like the Corpse Bride, Charlie and The 浓情巧克力 Factory ( which wasn't a bad adaptation of Ronald Dahl's acerbic wit), Alice in Wonderland, and some others which slip my memory at the moment. I 爱情 Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton's actual wife, btw. I also really, really liked Wes Andersen's Fantastic Mr. Fox.
最喜爱的 tv programs used to be House and Bones. Now it's 更多 Firefly, Game of Thrones, 阿凡达 Ang from the Nickelodeon series, 阿凡达 Korra, Longmire, Haven ( a syfy spinoff from Stephen King), and some others.
最喜爱的 recording artist is Alecia Moore who goes 由 the name of P!nk. I've been a 粉, 粉色 freak for 13 years and counting.... I also 爱情 the rock band Alter Bridge, and my icelandic guys, Sigur Ros. This is all aside from Classical music, Claude Debussy in particular, and 迪士尼 soundtracks.
And that's a wrap, folks. See? I told 你 that I'm not all that interesting. In fact, with all of this long laundry list, you'll probably want to go rest your eyeballs from staring at a computer screen for so long.
Please go do that.
And if 你 feel up to it-- if something in this appealed to 你 at all-- don't hesitate to mention it below.
Have a nice day, peeps!
