THE OWNER OF THE CRUSADE

I'm a hard working college student with a crazed sense of humor. I've recently become one of those Harry Potter fanatics thanks to a lady at work; sometimes I wish a school like Hogwarts actually existed! I have traveled around to many different countries and continents, the latest being Florence, Italy and shortly before, Calcutta, India. I love art, music, dance (not that I can) and the theatre. Aside from reading, I love to write; not so much in a creative way but in an analytical way. I honestly dread creative writing and/or poetry. My consistent idols include Lillian Gish,Tori Amos, Malcolm X,Gandhi & Bono. I plan on taking a gap year after undergraduate school so that I can travel around Europe & Asia to volunteer. On my spare time I really enjoy messing around with photography and graphic design and I'm pretty much self-taught in both (not to brag, I just have a lot of spare time). I'm also a classicaly trained pianist, as I studied it for about 11 horrid years. This domain is just a creative escape for me to discuss my interests and to help others learn about them as well. I have a high respect for many of my female peers who I consider to be way more talented than I am, even though I've been doing this web-design/fangirling thing for a very long time.
