On Friends...
Up until this year, I would've said that friends were sort of a fantasy, but then I met Becca Gallagher, and I can tell you now that I cannot imagine life without her. I mean, you have to have someone who understands you, who gets your stupid jokes, who lets you cry about guys when you both knew they weren't worth it. Plus, she lives in a mansion and has a mini-fridge in her room. I have a couple of other second-level friends, Amber Fellerman and Elisa Crunch, and they are both bizarre in their own ways. Amber is like this goth-punk poet and Elisa is a number-cruncher (sorry about the pun on her name! She'll kill me when she reads this!) I have a fantasy of taking Elisa's PDA and holding it hostage, putting a little blindfold over its LED display and sending her a Polaroid and a ransom note.

On Guys...
Well, speaking of one my favorite subjects - guys are one of those things that I would love to give up, but I simply can't do it. It's like chocolate. It's addicting. They look good in pants, they smell nice, and, when it comes down to it, nuzzling into some big sweater-covered chest is just about the best feeling ever. I've dated a lot, but to be honest, the only guy who's ever really tempted me to become exclusive is Fletcher Berkowitz, and he drives me crazy. Maybe that's how you know it's really love.

Favorite Subject...
English, I guess, if I have to pick one. I mean, you can't really count watching old Science Fiction movies as a subject, but why not? If they can have courses in Auto Shop, why not Science Fiction? I'm about as likely to change a flat tire as I am to encounter a slimy alien from Planet X.

Most Likely to Mess Up a Relationship:
Shelby is a vegetarian, and she’s pretty, but not extremely girly.
She does like to “date with a vengeance,” but has a hard time really
getting close to anyone. She has as her own robot named Euphoria which her
dad, a kind of a 'mad scientist' type, built for her after her mom died. She
seems to always have a running monologue in her head, and she probably thinks
too much.
The Day the Earth Stood Still...
I love this movie. Euphoria is in love with the robot, Gort, and I keep hoping they will date and have little baby can openers. Okay, so it’s kind of corny, but there are so many fun things in it…like when the government guards the flying saucer with two guys who don’t notice a 7-foot-tall robot approaching them with intent to render them unconscious. Or like when the alien, Klaatu, breaks into a famous scientist’s house and solves this complicated math equation ON A BLACKBOARD! But you can’t beat the message.

Death Cab for Cutie...
Great band. I especially like their song What Sarah Said, although it always makes me think of my mom and I cry. Also Why You’d Want to Live Here because it totally describes southern California.

Tolkien calendar...
I’ve read Lord of the Rings so many times I could practically birth a hobbit. I used to read the trilogy every year, but now I’m getting too busy to do that, so I just read one of the three books if I can. My favorite thing about Tolkien is that even when the warriors girls fight Orcs and other unsavory creatures, they always manage to be confident and oh-so-fresh.

James Dean...
Becca made me put this up so that if she can’t get to her locker, she can get a James Dean fix from mine. I think he’s cute, but it creeps me out to think she obsesses over a dead movie star. I am going to take him down next year, I think, maybe replace him with Orlando Bloom. I love him because not only is he hot, he’s funny.

The Earth...
Let’s face it, it’s a great planet. I’m very into environmental stuff, although the Queen Geek thing has taken up a lot of my time lately, so I haven’t been marching or picketing anything. I think it’s so important, because if we don’t have a planet to live on, what happens? If we’re evicted from Earth, our choices are kind of limited. Maybe Klaatu can zoom down and give me a ride to his place, but the rest of you are on your own. (See The Day the Earth Stood Still if you don’t know who Klaatu is.)

Plan 9 from Outer Space...
Remember how I said The Day the Earth Stood Still was corny? Okay, so this movie makes that one look like Oscar material. This is still one of my faves, though, because of all the goofs and weird film tricks. Check out how Vampira trucks around the graveyard looking for bone snacks like she OD’d on valium, and how a Bela Lugosi look-alike crashes this young woman’s bedroom and shuffles along like a dude at a senior citizen’s early-bird special, but he still catches her. Classic!
