silksieve gave me the following topics:
YA lit
I do read a lot of YA, don't I? It's partly habit: there are a lot of YA writers I know I like, so I want to read their new books and, given the constraints on my time, I don't have room for too much else.
I must confess that another reason I read so much YA is because the books are so thin. I can read them quickly, and I get a lovely fizz of accomplishment when I'm done.
( And I babble on a bit, about humor and darkness and the Kushiel books )
Quirky but Awesome TV (you know, like Pushing Daisies and Psych)
Heehee. Actually, it's sad about Psych. I love the show, but I've seen very few episodes because I never get around to these things unless I have the DVDs, so I can't write any fanfic for it even though hair-brained plots with quirky dialogue are my specialty.
It occurs to me that Netflix probably has the DVDs. I think I'll add them to my queue and rectify this problem.
Languages
I've already mentioned my imaginary major, where you take a new language each year (while continuing to study the languages you took in the previous years), so that by the time you graduate college you speak, like, five languages, haven't I? Because that would be a totally awesome major.
As it is I can only study Russian, and will at best emerge from college trilingual (the third language being Spanish), which leaves the coveted title of polyglot one language away. Curses!
Cookies
What can I say? I have a sweet tooth the size of the Ozarks (it used to be the size of the Andes. This is progress), and I love baking things; so much goodness from so little effort.
I have this great idea for new cookie recipe: cranberry chocolate. If only I can get my hands on some cranberries I think it will be highly successful.
College
Oh, college. It's kind of like living in a petri dish.
I do have excellent classes this term, though. Ask about my nineteenth century art history class sometime - I can go on at great length about the Impressionists, Caspar David Friedrich, the female nude, paintings of the working class, and/or why I hate Courbet.
