Yay Blogging! I'm doing it!! Tiz cool, methinks. Now, My real name is Kristen, I like Harry Potter and I have every intention of marrying Shia LaBeoff when I grow up.

I am from Bronx, New York and I have been going away to school for nine years now. I have an extremely eclectic taste in music. My favorite “super” hero is Batman and I hate getting up too early. I love going to the movies, and I like doing it alone just as much as going with a couple friends. I am fiercely loyal and I have had the same best friend for 15 years. I have left the country once and it wasn’t by plane; I went to Bermuda on a cruise, and I might go again this year. My favorite musical is Aida and I have never seen The Lion King on Broadway. My favorite Disney movie is Aladdin.

Enough of the random stuff, I am an English major- I love to write. In high school I wrote a one act play and I loved the experience. At the time I was highly involved (a.k.a. president) in the Gay Straight Alliance and I know two people who have made the transition from woman to man. So my play is about a woman who begins with a relationship with a much younger man only to find that he falls for her son, who is much nearer to his age group. It was supposed to be for a Gay Straight Alliance event as well as for a class, but it ended up just being for my class. I have written other pieces; my senior project was a 42 page portfolio of stories and essays I wrote throughout the semester. Among those was a Greenwich Village Fairy Tale, in which two friends fall in love, and in the end face breaking the news to their parents together. It was decidedly more cheerful than Brokeback Mountain.

I am also a Theatre major. I have been in five musicals: The Wizard of Oz, The Music Man, The Boyfriend, Anything Goes and Seussical. I cannot pick an absolute favorite, but it’s a tight race between the Boyfriend and Seussical. Seussical was an absolutely huge production in which I was a who, a hunch, a fish, and an animal in the jungle of Nool. On the other hand I had a good role for The Boyfriend: I was Madame Dubbonet, the headmistress of a finishing school in France, and I was in love with one of my student’s father. I got to speak with a French accent and the French teacher asked me after the play if I spoke French, or if I had any specific coaching, which I hadn’t.
