Books:
Currently reading: Bossypants by Tina Fey and trying to make sense
of Finnegan's Wake.
Favorite Book(s): Harry Potter.
I'll never get over Harry Potter. (Gryfferin for those curious,
Gryffindor for the one person who couldn't handle the
hybridization.)
I really never got into those "change your life classics" they
force you to read in school. Perhaps I should revisit them on my
own terms. Feel free to suggest one to me. ;)
When I was younger, I was obsessed with Dr. Seuss (still am), The
Box Car Children, Goosebumps (except for Slappy - that shit scars
you for life), and this ghost story called Time for Andrew (major
points if you've read it.)
Movies:
Movies are a huge part of my life. Directors who I admire: Burton,
Taymor, Luhrmann.
I grew up on Disney and know that I now do musicals because of the
countless hours spent watching them.
Nightmare Before Christmas is my #1. The Muppet Movie changed my
life. Pitch Perfect was obviously written for me. I wish I made
Moulin Rouge. Mean Girls will always brighten my day. The Final
Destination movies are truly a guilty pleasure.
The end of Big Fish gets me every time.
I've never seen Titanic...(GASP!)
Shows (the theatre nerd in me had to think twice about what I
supposed to write):
I have a really wide range of TV I watch, however my favorites tend
to be comedies. I am in love with Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
Recently, I've found myself on Bravo a lot...figures. The Simpsons
is my all-time favorite. Big fan of Will and Grace, 30 Rock, Ugly
Betty, Fraiser, and Drop Dead Diva (if you haven't seen it, go
check it out! Basically, I am Deb/Jane...Jane/Deb...w/e). I got
really excited when Nickelodeon brought the 90s back.
Music:
I love 80s Dance/Power Ballads. Take on Me (A-ha), You Spin Me
Right Round (Dead or Alive), New Attitude (Patti LaBelle) are some
consistent spotify plays. Queen is stunning. (I actually enjoy
being rick-rolled.)
90s pop is just...special. Spice Girls, Britney, N'ync, Backstreet
Boys...just yes.
Musicals - goes without saying.
Ke$ha's new album Warrior is unreal. Adele can set fire to the
rain. Bad Romance makes me go gaga. Beyonce. Fierce beltresses =
winning.
Food:
My mother has ruined me with her Italian cooking. I love food with
complexities of texture and layers of flavor - BBQ, Indian, Sushi.
I have a major sweet tooth and go nuts for Haribo, Tootsie Pops,
and Fun Dip.
