Why I write for SDM: What artist refuses to practice their area of expertise? I thoroughly enjoy writing for SDM. It's been a beautiful experience.
Activities, Sports, Interests: No sports. Photography, fiction, history (particularly WWII), role playing, and occasionally web design.
Favorite Authors: If the book is good enough for me to remember, the author is a favorite. Two in particular are Mal Peet and Christopher Paolini.
Favorite School Subjects: English, Desktop Publishing, and American History.
Favorite Movies & TV Shows: All-time favorite is Queer as Folk. Movies are Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, Titanic, The Notebook, The Patriot (with Mel Gibson), and Schindler's List.
I listen to: If I can't feel it, I don't listen to it, but Backstreet Boys and Tokio Hotel are long-time favorites.
Most Important Values: An open mind and equal rights. I believe strongly in the power of love. I don't believe people have orientations; I believe they have feelings.
I enjoy: Photography and literature (especially slash).
Future Plans: Haven't got it figured out yet, but it will include both photography and language arts. Here's a link to my photography portfolio: http://photographedtuesday.deviantart.com/
What I'm All About: Emotions and romance - everything that is denied, unusual, unexpected, or forbidden.
