First thing you should know is I love the Beatles. I have been to Liverpool, I have been inside the Cavern Club, I saw John, Paul, and Ringo's childhood home, I have visited Abbey Road Studios and walked across Abbey Road. Needless to say, it was magical.
See? Proof.
I also wrote on the wall in front of the studio. If you can't read my scrawl, it says my name, the year and my favorite Beatles quote: "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
Another thing you should know is that I also love One Direction. Judge me if you will, I've heard all the jokes. No, I don't want to talk about Zayn, I'm not over it yet. Unfortunately, I haven't visited any 1D landmarks, but I have seen them twice in concert, and that too was magical.
This was their most recent tour and this too was post-Zayn.
This is my boyfriend, Keegan. I've been with him for almost 2 and a half years and not only the love of my life, but he's also my best friend. I think it's really important to have that kind of connection with your significant other; it makes spending time together much more fun. But I won't get all mushy on ya, I just wanted to include him, cuz look how freaking cute he is. Sorry, moving on...
My favorite movie of all time is The Sandlot. If you haven't seen it, you need to. It's hilarious, almost as quotable as Mean Girls, and has such a great story about friendship and coming into one's own. YOU'RE KILLING ME, SMALLS!
Also, in my top 3 favorites is Star Wars and The Goonies. If you can already tell, I love movies with a ragtag group of friends going on adventures together that bond them closer by the end and make them better people.
Another important thing to know is that I love Disney. I grew up with Disney and I've always loved it. Pretty much all my Disney movies are on VHS, that's how OG I am. Yes, that is me with Elsa at Disneyland. I dressed up as her and she was a beautiful human. YES I KNOW IT'S AN ACTOR DON'T RUIN THE MAGIC.
My favorite Disney movie is The Lion King, so much so that I drew it on my dorm room door freshman year (pictured). I can sing every song by heart and I can quote that entire movie to you, although I doubt you'd want me to. Also, as you can see, I do dabble in a little bit of art. I'm no Michelangelo, but I like to doodle. I actually did a whole series of these "Disney Doors" as I called them, and not just on my door.
Some more of my work on doors. I had a lot of fun with this.
Here's some stuff I did on other mediums. The first picture is a drawing I did when I was in high school of Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas (another one of my favorites; I'm a huge Tim Burton fan). I used to doodle a lot in class; I have old notebooks just filled with pictures I drew. I even had a specific notebook just for drawing. The next picture is one I painted my sophomore year here at SDSU of Totoro from Hayao Miazaki's My Neighbor Totoro (another director I absolutely love. His work is absolutely brilliant). This was a random Arts Alive event supporting art classes and I figured as a student of the arts, I should participate. The last picture is of my friend and I on the Day of the Dead freshman year. I designed the sugar skull makeup on both of us and it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. This I did just for fun; I'm really interested in makeup and I'd like to learn more about it.
Well, that's a pretty good summary of who I am. I'm really looking forward to getting to know the rest of you and I'll see you in class!
