I like silent films; Buster Keaton and Lon Chaney Sr. are favorites; The Cameraman (Keaton) and The Penalty (Chaney)are my favorites by each. Love the Harry Potter films, Chronicles of Narnia, David Attenborough documentaries, kung fu movies (Enter the Dragon, Once Upon A Time in China, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero, Fist of Legend), Trainspotting, Valley Girl, The Pillow Book, Microcosmos, Audition, Shopgirl, Napoleon Dynamite, Little Miss Sunshine, Moulin Rouge, Hilary and Jackie, Velvet Goldmine, Amelie, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Doctor Strangelove, Young Frankenstein, and lots of others I've probably forgotten to mention.

ABOUT ME
I consider myself a homebody. I'm perfectly happy staying home. I've been shy for as long as I can remember, and was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder a few years ago and again this year.
I like to read, watch movies, listen to music. I collect pets apparently; I've got a turtle, 2 guinea pigs, 2 rats, a mouse, bunch of cats and several dogs (but the cats and dogs aren't really mine).
I've made it to 26 without a drivers license even though I'd be better off being able to drive myself where I need to go. I get too nervous and fail the test every time. I've been on Celexa for about a year, and I occasionally see my therapist (I'm a procastinator). I am currently in graduate school to get my masters of public health in epidemiology.
I'm usually on yahoo messenger, so everyone is welcome to IM me.
