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.]
  • The Mighty Boosh [Classic times, crazy days.]
  • 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!]
  • SpongeBob Squarepants [You gotta love the SpongeBob.]
  • 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!]
  • The Simpsons [You are not a human being if you don't like this show.]

Movies

  • Gone With The Wind (1939) [Best. Movie. Ever.]
  • It's A Wonderful Life (1946) [It's not always a wonderful life, but it's always a wonderful movie.]
  • Withnail & I (1987) [They've gone on holiday by mistake! Every line is instantly quotable! Excellent movie.]
  • Bedazzled (1967) ["Release your doo-dahs!"]
  • MP & The Holy Grail (1975) [Should be made mandatory viewing for every living being.]
  • Harry Potter series [They're all fun!]
  • Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day (2008) [Such a pretty movie!]
  • Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid (1969) [Classic.]
  • Steel Magnolias (1989) [Pretty much the ultimate chick flick, but I love it. So many great quotes.]
  • Forrest Gump (1994) [I weep - weep, I tell you - when he talks to Jenny at her grave toward the end.]

Music

  • Kate Bush [Total brilliance.]
  • Kylie Minogue [Aw, Kylie! She's just so fun to listen to. Impossible Princess = best Kylie album ever.]
  • Madonna [Because she's Madonna.]
  • Clannad [Because they're the best Irish band ever, duh.]
  • Sarah Brightman [Truly the angel of music.]
  • Dannii Minogue [Don't forget Dannii! Fun and happy music with a club edge. And really not at all like Kylie (really!)]
  • Dana International [Such fun 'n' fierce music!]
  • Siobhan Donaghy [Underrated and awesome!]
  • Richard Ashcroft [True story: I like his solo work better than his stuff with The Verve.]
  • The Beatles [Of course!]

  • Ofra Haza [Her voice is like an instrument. Absolutely amazing.]
  • 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.]
  • 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.]
  • Jimmy Stewart [Jimmah! Aw, he's so great. Any movie with him is excellent.]
  • 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.]
