I am an 21-year-old pure Massachusetts resident. Well, kinda - my mom grew up in Ohio and my dad's a pure Bostonian,
or he talks like it, anyway. His great-grandparents emigrated to the US from Portugal. His mother was a professional
dancer and his father, a professional drummer - pretty cool. My mom's mom and dad raised their six kids on a farm,
which is now, sadly, out of commission. My mom's side is partially from the southern US - West Virginia to be exact.
You can imagine my disdain when I found out some of my forefathers, or foreuncles or whatever they would be to me, fought
for the confederacy...anyhoo, it's all good...so, my mom grew up in farm country and my dad grew up in the city quite a few
miles away.

| My source of entertainment in class - a neverending goal of becoming truly ambidextrous... |
Both my parents are right-handed and my sister and I are left-handed. Though, I'm not sure if I should describe
my sister and I as such, since, living in a right-handed world, we've both had to adjust to using our right hand for certain
things. "Certain things" would pertain to desks, scissors, computer ?mice?, ice cream scoopers, ladles, and many more
I don't even think about. Don't worry, I'm not bitter in any way! It's nice to be somewhat ambidextrous!

| Yeah, volleys! |
I like playing tennis and basically any other net games, like volleyball and badminton. I would like ping pong, but
there's just something about the fact that the table is just so small and the ball is more elastic than it seems and...yeah...I
also don't usually like to just sit and watch sports. I like to be in on the action myself.

Favorites
Food: Raisinets, baby! I like some of the generic choco-raisins, but some just have such nasty, waxy chocolate that even
the raisin can't make up for it!
Favorite movies: Pirates of the Caribbean, baby! Finding Nemo, of course, rocks, too. Glory, Identity, Signs, Anne
of Green Gables series, The Wizard of Oz (you know, the classic version), The Court Jester (Danny Kaye is awesome!)
Favorite Music: I looooove music and listen to most any type...with the exception of country and heavy metal; No favorite
bands right now, but I'm diggin' the stylings of Miss Mary J and, as always, the formidable Whitney. Keiysha Cole is pretty
cool, too.
I'm still into Luda and all that jazz - you know. Dashboard Confessional have some sweet sounds, too. Especially
when they go acoustic. Black Eyed Peas new album is good to jam to.
Favorite Computer Games: okay, you probably know I'm a complete computer dork for putting this in (dork, not nerd, because
I don't know anything about the technicals), but the Monkey Island episodes: 1 - Secret of Monkey Island, 2 - LeChuck's Revenge,
3 - Curse of Monkey Island, and 4 - Escape from Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and the Sims
