INTRODUCING MISS BARBARA QUINN !
[/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/center]-copies and pastes intro-
Hey all. I figured that all the cool kids were doing it, so I would post an introduction, too. Thus... I, am Quinn. Technically, it's Barbara Quinn, but I know no one that would go by Barbara over Quinn, ergo... There are numerous nicknames that go along with this, many of which I am called both on forums and in real life. Such as: Quinnz, Quinneh, Quinny, Quinneth, Q, Quinneh the Pooh, Quinnifer, and if you're feeling creative, be my guest and add to this list.
As I would like to establish, I go to a private college, which give are occasionally studious, but like mose college kids i have more time than i know what to do with. But, homework happens sometimes, and therefore I may not be posting quickly. But this may be for other reasons as well. Such as friends who often take over my tv and start up a game of Halo, which I am magnetically attracted to. Or because I was stupid enough to get a job at a coffee shop called... get ready for this... The Monkey Grinder. Believe me, if there was any justice in this world, the first meteor to strike the face of the earth would crash down straight into the windsheild of my boss's crappy car while it took up three employee parking spaces in the back of the Monkey Grinder. But anyways...
As far as hobbies go, I enjoy writing, drawing, video gaming, cooking, baking, super heroes, spelunking, shenanigannery, closing my eyes when driving to scare my friends, wearing sunglasses at night, dressing mannequins at the mall, reinacting episodes of 24 in the mall, becoming aquainted with the mall cops at the mall, and dancing. Extra curriculars include running (passion 1), karate (passion 2), and par kour (combination of passions 1 and 2, though this isn't that serious). Aaaaand the office. I luuuurrrvvveee the office.
Two things that I'm an unusually big fan of are music and movies. They are my therapy when I am not writing or playing especially gorey video games with muh' boys. Though most think I'm crazy, I have proudly blew out three pairs of headphones, one pair of car speakers and wrecked several DVDs by playing them too many times. Back home, the guy behind the counter at the movie theatre knows me by name, as does the greeter at Best Buy. If you need any suggestions for movies/music, or have any, be my guest and let me know.
Also because of this, I'm big on acting. Back in high school I've been the lead in plays/musicals at my school. And I'm super super proud of that, so let me tell you all about it :] Freshman year I was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and Rosemary in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and sophmore I was Sandy in Grease(let me tell you, the upperclassmen were not happy about all this...), and junior year I snagged the part of Velma Kelly in Chicago, the super kid-friendly/parent friendly/school appropriate version. Senior year they let me have Stella in a Streetcar Named Desire and Maria in West Side Story. Okay. That's all I'll brag about that.
One thing you should know about me right now: I'm a super nerd. I could surely out-nerd you all. But incase you don't believe me, let me elaborate. Reason #1: I have a secret knowledge of comic books. I keep them hidden under my bed like teenaged boys do with playboys. #2: Speed Racer is my hero, and I wish I could be more like him. #3: I missed a concert once because I was playing Halo. #4: I wrote an English paper comparing and contrasting Macbeth and Star Wars. #5: I got an A. #6: I've read every single Sherlock Holmes story. Every one. #7: I've made countless Star Wars references in public. I could go on with more examples of things that I find embarassing but at the same time am proud of, but I'll end this paragraph saying that thankfully, I have very understanding and supporting friends who talk me out of doing things like naming my dog Skywalker...
Well, that's the Quinnster in a nutshell. I'm open to chat at any time (unless I'm up to my neck in stuff to do), so feel free to drop me a PM. I'm pretty friendly, so if I'm on say hi in the c-box, or, once again, send me a PM to have a chat. Now I've got to stop before I make this into way longer and more pointless than it should be (I'm guessing it's too late...).
