User Profile

I'm a 22-year-old girl who lives in Los Angeles and has a wonderful daschund and a cat whom I love more than anything. I'm applying to colleges right now as a junior (I went to community college, took some time off and am now ready to get back to learning!) as a political science major. Besides my babies, I love writing, TV, traveling, movies, music - <3live music! - animals of every sort, politics, celebrity gossip and fangirling over my favorite things.

Go here for my intro post, filled with personal and fandom goodies. I have a few on-going challenges. One is my 100 Movies in 2009 Challenge. Then there's my 50 Books in 2009 Challenge and Bravo's 100 Funniest Films, which I'm attempting to make my way through. The most important one is my 101 Things in 1,001 Days challenge, in which I'm trying to achieve 101 goals in - you guessed it - 1,001 days. I started Jan. 1, 2009 and the challenge completes Sept. 29, 2011. I'm also attempting to post a photo-a-day, but I've teetered off a bit lately.
