About... Me!

I realize that this is a horribly self-indulgent page.  I do know that not many people are going to find any of this in the least bit interesting.  But hey, it's my domain. ;)

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; am now attending 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).

My Interests

As I said, my life isn't exactly fascinating to read about, but maybe my interests are.

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)

  • Doctor Who [The Fourth Doctor is my favorite. :D]
  • The Fourth Doctor [So much my favorite, in fact, that he deserves his own bullet point. Tom Baker is love.]
  • The Third Doctor [So much my second favorite, in fact, that he deserves his own bullet point. Jon Pertwee is too cool.]
  • Peter Cook [He's a flippin' genius. And he's really, really gorgeous.]
  • England [I will at least visit someday.]
  • British comedies/British television [Do I even have to explain? 'Tis British, 'tis brilliant.]
  • Politics
  • Political blogs [Scratch that - I can't read the blogs anymore. They fill me with righteous anger and make me want to do something about all the awfulness, but then I realize I really can't do anything much to help, and that makes me depressed.]
  • Websites [Well... obviously.]
  • Graphics/icons [Adobe PhotoShop is love, too.]
  • Attempting to remix songs in Acid Music [Well, my work sounds good to me!]

TV

  • Doctor Who [Of course!]
  • The Mighty Boosh [The Boosh is love.]
  • 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.]
  • House MD [Crankysexy Hugh Laurie goodness and horrible fake diseases make for a fantastic TV show.]
  • Monty Python's Flying Circus [I sincerely believe that you are flawed if you dislike this... it's not even a show, it's a way of life.]
  • Ballykissangel [Aw, BallyK!]
  • Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (BBC TV Series) [Why make a movie when you already have perfection?]
  • The Simpsons [You are not a human being if you don't like this show.]
  • King Of The Hill [Sh-sh-sha!]
  • The Daily Show With Jon Stewart [Watch for the political snark, stay for the Jon Stewart goodness.]
  • SpongeBob Squarepants [You gotta love the SpongeBob.]

Movies

  • Gone With The Wind [Best. Movie. Ever.]
  • It's A Wonderful Life [It's not always a wonderful life, but it's always a wonderful movie.]
  • Withnail and I [They've gone on holiday by mistake! Every line is instantly quotable! And Richard Griffiths wears a radish pin and tries to seduce Paul McGann. Excellent movie.]
  • Bedazzled (1967 w/ Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and Eleanor Bron) [Just... wow. Genius. Love this movie. "Release your doo-dahs!"]
  • MP & The Holy Grail [Should be made mandatory viewing for every living being.]
  • Life of Brian [Mmm, blasphemicious.]
  • Arthur [Aw, Dudley Moore, so cute. Excellent one-liners and entertaining all around.]
  • Ed Wood [Crazy Z-movie fun! And Johnny Depp in an angora sweater.]
  • Harry Potter series [Well, really, only the first one. But the rest are enjoyable, though canon seems to be thrown out the window in the third.]

Music

  • Kate Bush [Total brilliance.]
  • Queen [Because they're the best band ever, duh.]
  • Clannad [Because they're the best Irish band ever, duh.]
  • Ofra Haza [Because she's the best Yemenite singer ever, duh. OK, seriously though, her voice is like an instrument. Absolutely amazing.]
  • Sarah Brightman [Because she's the... right, right, that got old fast. Truly the angel of music.]
  • Kylie Minogue [Aw, Kylie! She's just so fun to listen to. Impossible Princess = best Kylie album ever. Duh.]
  • Madonna [Because she's Madonna.]
  • Sinead O'Connor [Doesn't seem very in character for me to be a fan of Sinead O'Connor, does it? But yeah, she's a brilliant musician.]
  • Natacha Atlas [I don't understand a thing she sings, but golly, is it beautiful.]
  • Enya [A very unique musician. I've loved her music forever.]
  • Dannii Minogue [Don't forget Dannii! Fun and happy music with a club edge. And really not at all like Kylie (really!)]
  • 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!]
  • Jon Pertwee [I've yet to see him in a role other than the Doctor, though... although I did see him in an episode of The Avengers. But that probably doesn't count.]
  • 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.]
  • Jimmy Stewart [Jimmah! Aw, he's so great. Any movie with him is excellent.]
  • Johnny Depp [Oh, how I love the Depp.]
  • Paul McGann [The man McGann!]
  • Richard E. Grant [Well, I must admit I've only seen him in a few movies, but I love him lots anyway.]
  • Hugh Laurie [Actually a very versatile actor. Gotta love the Laurie.]
  • Rowan Atkinson [Because he's Rowan Atkinson, duh. All right, I'll stop with the "duh."]
  • 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

  • Harry Potter series [It's almost a cliché to like these books now.]
  • Anything by Dave Barry [I am not making this up.]
  • Anything about Doctor Who [When not watching it, one must be reading about it.]
  • 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 [I am picky, though.]
