Name (that you go by): You can stick with calling me Orual.

Age: Older, younger, or the same age as you.

Occupation: Unemployed student, though I have been paid for my writing once. (Okay, it was a contest that I placed in, but I can colour the truth a little bit...)

Future Aspirations: To be a successful writer, shopkeep, and to "live so that when [I] come to die, even the undertaker will be sorry." (Mark Twain)

Goal in life: Leave it a little better than I found it.

Short term goals: Learn all of the songs from "Once More, With Feeling" on the piano.

Passion: Writing. Then acting and music.

Hobbies: Writing. Then acting and music. (Plus the Barrow-Downs!)

Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): My cartwheels, my rapid speech, and (among my circle of friends) my writing.

Fave book: The Lord of the Rings, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.

Fave movie: I'm not much of a movie person...the LotR movies, Cool Runnings, the Sixth Sense, What About Bob?, and I'm sure that if I saw the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie I'd love it. I love the series. Would the musical episode count? It was an hour long...

Fave sport: I guess surfing the Internet doesn't count...lol, basketball and swimming.

Fave store: Barnes & Noble, Hot Topic (don't even bother calling me a poser, I've learned to tune it out.)

Fave music: Alt. rock (or radio rock), such as Everclear, matchbox twenty, Good Charlotte, Live, Lit, blink-182, etc.

What you can't stand: Intolerance. I know it sounds clichéd, but it really upsets me.

What you plain dislike: Well, intolerance, of course, but also bad grammar and spelling (call me picky).

Who you admire: Anyone who makes it through with a smile on their face. And James Marsters. (Five points to anybody who knows who that is.)

What you most love to do: Read, write, act, play music, listen to music, hang out with my friends.

Your self-confessed flaws: Me? Flaws? (Egotism! Not to mention uncontrolled anger, irritability, pessimism, and occasionally, mild despair.)

What intrigues/fascinates you: Acrobats. Especially Cirque du Soleil. Humans aren't supposed to move like that.

What scares you: Where should I start? The declining state of the environment, corrupted politics, corrupted religious leaders, lack of civility, respect, and honor among people, and shall I continue?

Quotation to live by: The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.
