Name:  Deanna/Dee
Age:  24 yrs, 2 mos, 25(ish?) days
Height:  5'8" tall
Fav Band:  I am almost unhealthily obsessed with a band who formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, as a "Sex Pistols meets Chic" group. But I do listen to other things. I've just gotten over a huge Kajagoogoo phase, and I'm excited by what I've heard of The Stills and Ascii Disko. I also love Japan, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Ultravox, Visage, Human League, Heaven 17, Soviet, Ladytron, Roxy Music, Fischerspooner, Goldfrapp's Black Cherry, and almost anything else New Romantic/New Wave, electro, and swoony glam rock.
Fav Movie:  Of all time? Still Pump Up The Volume. (It captured my heart as a teen -- what can I say?) Of the moment? Probably House of Sand and Fog, though Monster was very, very, very good.
Fav TV Show:  Definitely "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". I'm hoping this will be the first "favorite TV show" of mine that will actually stick around long enough for me to be fanatical about it. (I'm miffed that "Keen Eddie" didn't stick around, BTW -- I'm just starting to get into it now.)
Fav Book:  I'm not a really big fan of books because of the sheer number I had to read in HS/college (I'm more of a newspapers and magazines kind of person), but I'm really into The Andy Warhol Diaries right now.
Fav Actor:  I'm really fond of Sir Ben Kingsley right now.
Fav Actress:  Dame Judi Dench now and forever.
Fav Food:  Chinese and Japanese food; patty melts with onion rings; cereal; Wheat Thins (*winks*); almost all kinds of cookies
Fav Sport:  (spectator) basketball; (participant) tennis
Fav Athlete:  Martina Navratilova and David Robinson, now and forever.
Drink of Choice:  Diet Coke with Lime, Diet Cherry Coke, Diet Coke, iced coffee, hot coffee -- caffeinated heaven, essentially.
Drug of Choice (if that's your thing):  caffeine (ha), Lo-Ovral (for regulation purposes)
Smoker? :  Not in forever and a day, practically.
Occupation :  Payroll clerk and "frugal because I have to be" student.
Do you work out? :  Not in like ten years. I need to start up again.
On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your looks? :  3 on a good day and -5 on a bad day.
On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your personality? :  9 on a good day and 1 on a bad day.
Add anything you want people to know:  You know how I have that almost unhealthy obsession thing going on? Well, it's permeated my being so much that I can bring up the band on almost any discussion. For example -- talking about the Middle East? "Hey, did you guys know that Simon once worked in a kibbutz in Israel? And you know about their song 'Tel Aviv', right? Hey, wait a second, where are you guys going? I'll stop it, I swear! Just 'hey mister, say something, say the word!' Ok, that's it! I'll be good from here on out! I promise you!"

Add anything you want people to know: I am an engima, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in day-old newspaper.

Ha ha ha... well, since I'm actually catching "Keen Eddie" eps on Bravo, I'm well aware of this. I'm referring to the fact that it's no longer going as a series. I'd have loved to have seen several seasons of this.

Keep me updated, Dee! My copy is sitting idle on the shelf, and I've hardly had the time to keep up with the reading. My copy is used and in Spanish. Got it at a book fair in rural Mexico, so I thought it would be a kick to purchase it in those circumstances. Diarios de Warhol!

Wow, the Diaries in Spanish?! Found in MEXICO?! The mind boggles. But yes, I will keep you updated. So far, it's fantastic for someone such as myself, but then again I really care about little sad bits of info such as how much someone paid for something.

(FYI, I was once on Celexa, and then I took myself off it. Whee.)
