About... Me!
Hiya! I'm Scarlett, lovely to meet you. To make a long story short - I was born August 21, 1986, born and raised in Maryland, and I'm currently a History major at the University of Maryland (fear the turtle!).
Read Some Stuff
If you'd like to pass some time by reading stuff about a total stranger (me!), here's a (rather long) history of my experiences with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
On the Internets
I spend a lot of time over at Livejournal, and I love to write about my favorite music at my music blog. I listen to entirely too much pop music: my last.fm proves it! I've also become addicted to tumblr and waste a lot of time over there. :)
My List o' Interests
Stuff that's so important, it belongs in a category of its own (but I'm too lazy to actually go about doing that, so here ya go)
- Pop music [Love it.]
- The Mighty Boosh [The Boosh is love.]
- Peter Cook [He's a flippin' genius.]
- British comedies/British television [Good stuff.]
- Internet, websites, website design [Well... obviously.]
- Graphics/icons [Adobe PhotoShop is love, also.]
- Attempting to remix songs in Acid Music [Well, my work sounds good to me!]
TV
- Are You Being Served? [They're like a second family, that lot. I've been watching for eons now. Love, love, love this show.]

- Blackadder [You can never have enough turnip jokes.]
- Doctor Who [The classic series and the Fourth Doctor are my favorites. :D]
- King Of The Hill [Sh-sh-sha!]

- The Simpsons [You are not a human being if you don't like this show.]

- It's A Wonderful Life (1946) [It's not always a wonderful life, but it's always a wonderful movie.]

- Bedazzled (1967) ["Release your doo-dahs!"]
- MP & The Holy Grail (1975) [Should be made mandatory viewing for every living being.]

- Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day (2008) [Such a pretty movie!]

- Clannad [Because they're the best Irish band ever, duh.]

- Remixes [Love 'em.]
Actors/Actresses
- Tom Baker [Hey, he's an actor! He didn't just act on Doctor Who, he also played other roles. Like... uh... well, Capt. Redbeard Rum on Blackadder! Yeah!]
- Peter Cook [Deserves another mention. I adore how he looks at the camera, or off to another part of the set. Seriously, that's fantastic stuff.]

- Johnny Depp [Oh, how I love the Depp.]
- Robert Redford [He was so dreamy... Oh, he's also a great actor, too.]
- Colin Firth [Wonderful in any role.]
- Vivien Leigh [She played Scarlett. 'Nuff said.]
- Diana Rigg [I wanna be like Mrs Bradley when I grow up! I'd like to be like Emma Peel now, but I have a disturbing lack of coolness that prevents this. And, you know, judo skills.]
Books
- Gone With The Wind [Best. Book. Ever.]
- The Awakening (by Kate Chopin) [Rich in imagery, meaning, and subtext.]
- Harry Potter series [Always.]
- Anything about pop culture/pop music. [Endlessly fascinating. I'm serious!]
- Anything by Dave Barry [I am not making this up.]
- Anything about Peter Cook [Particularly The Complete Peter Cook. Go read it now.]
- Humor [Political, definitely, but general humor is good too.]
- Pretty much whatever looks interesting [Yep.]
