Introduction Post

[laurelcrowned]

So my flist has grown lately, and I thought it was about time to do an introduction post! If you've been on my flist for two days or two years and you have a question about something, ask me here and I'll answer you!

my name is laura.
 I live in Arizona with my parents and their puppies. I am currently in graduate school to become a speech pathologist. I want to work in schools with children.

I believe in equality- women's rights, gay rights, and anti-racism.  If these things make you uncomfortable, we might not click!

i love
fairy tales, Disney movies, books, and horror.  These are my big obsessions right now!  I collect fairy tale collections and Disney princess memorabilia.  My favorite fairy tales are Beauty and the Beast and Snow White and Red Rose; my favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast. I love horror movies and literature- particularly the classics, but my favorite scary movie is Scream!

I read all the time.  I really love YA fiction and I devour it!  I love the classics too- I adore Austen, Poe, Shakespeare and Wilde!  My favorite book is the Princess Bride.

i watch
a lot of television!  Parks and Recreation, Firefly, Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Office, 30 Rock, Happy Endings, Cougar Town, Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks, Gilmore Girls, Twin Peaks, Friends, HIMYM, the Big Bang Theory, Pretty Little Liars, Bunheads, the Closer, Battlestar Galactica, Adventure Time, Avatar the Last Airbender, Korra... I watch a LOT of television.

and a lot of movies!  My favorite movie of all time is also the Princess Bride!

i post
a lot of pictures, updates on my real life, thoughts on television shows, movies, or books!  If you'd like to be friends, comment here or on my friends only post and let's be friends!

Oh we're gonna get along juuuust fine. Yay for English--I'm a Creative Writing major so it's kinda similar. And Princess Bride, GG, Modern Family, Glee, and optimism! I'm trying to be more of one lately.

Do you play Animal Crossing?

The Phantom Tollbooth! I've never met anyone else who's read it, except my mum! My cat is called Milo, and that's where I got the name from :)

[laurelcrowned.livejournal.com]

i LOVE it! i did some embroidery of one of the illustrations once. one day i want to do one of the princesses.

it's one of my favorites, my copy is falling apart. i'm seriously going to consider naming a son milo if i ever have one.

You are very adorable and I'm impressed by your double major and Spanish minor. I would love to be more fluent in Spanish. I took it for 6 years, but I'm still--eh. Any tips you have for understanding it being spoken would be appreciated!

You're in HiH with me. Remind me which house? I'm new there and still don't know all y'all yet.

[laurelcrowned.livejournal.com]

thanks! unfortunately i finished my minor so long ago that i've lost a lot of my spanish! ah! tips for understanding it.. i don't really have any tips! the more you hear and the more often you hear it, the better you get at picking it up. i'm sure that's what everyone says though1

i'm in hufflepuff but i'm not very active... i'll have to try to change it!

I'm also an English literature student, though I graduate in December and have no idea what I'm doing, haha. That's so great that you work with resource kids! I had the chance to work with some special needs students a year ago or so and I really enjoyed it.

I love all your Disney love! Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites too! And you named off most of my classical favorites. YA lit is kind of my drug, so yay another thing in common! I think we're going to get along great!

[laurelcrowned.livejournal.com]
