I've only just today discovered this board and joined it, so I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to say about myself. Plus, this is the only artist fan site I've ever joined. Which should tell you how much I like Evanescence.

Of course, if I didn't like Evanescence, I probably wouldn't be here. *shrugs*

What would anybody like to know about me?

Wow. Okay, let's see here.

I don't actually have an honest-to-goodness favorite. There are so many different styles that they use. Honestly, my absolute favorite is the one I'm not supposed to have. I downloaded it off of LimeWire and then found the memo on Letssingit that said Evanescence was trying to discourage the distribution of "You." But if I had to pick a favorite of the other songs, it'd probably be Anywhere or Give Unto Me.

Do you mean professional wrestling? No. Not even close. I've always considered professional wrestling to be one of the most ridiculous parodies of a sporting event ever to grace national television. But that's just my opinion. I'm really not a sports fan in general, though I do like watching the winter Olympics. And baseball is okay, I suppose.

Taker? I'm not sure what that is.

I like Buffy and Angel. Although, to be completely frank, I thought the storylines suffered in the last few seasons of both shows. I think the writers were running out of feasable plotlines. I'd have to say Season 3 of Buffy and Season 2 of Angel were my favorites.

I'm not really Goth or Punk, although I do like the Gothic subculture as far as the music and the clothing, etc. I'm just a little too All-American-Girl in appearance to pull off black leather and corsets believably. I wish I could. But I just look silly when I try.

I have seen both Underworld and Underworld: Evolution. I am of the opinion that the second movie
A: wasn't as good as the first one *and*
B: could have been better had it lived up to the potential in the storyline.
That movie had so many possibilities that were just never explored or realized in the theatrical release. Plus, I have to say, the gratuitous sex scene in the Conex threw me a little bit.

Have you any other questions for me?

You're quite inquisitive.

I do think the description of wrestling as a male soap opera is probably the most accurate explanation I've heard, to date, of why so many men are so enamored of the spectacle.

As to Underworld, I could spend several paragraphs explaining the reasons why I believe the first movie to be infinitely superior to the second movie. However, it all comes down to a matter of opinion. I prefer my action movies to have a clear and engaging plot. Underworld: Evolutions lacked that particular commodity. The plot was... confused. In my opinion the concept had a great deal of potential as a story that they ignored or glossed over to maintain the focus on the romance and the action scenes. It was also poorly put together, jumping from one idea to another with scarcely any lead-in. The entire thing seemed to me to have been constructed in a ham-handed rush, with none of the elegance and intricacy of which the original was possessed.

But, as I said, it's all a matter of opinion.

My favorite villain would probably have to be Viktor. It was one of the things that I enjoyed about the first movie and missed in the second. The very person that she raised to help her solve the problem of Kraven's betrayal turned out to be the author of all of their problems. It was so unexpected, at least on Selene's part, that I truly enjoyed Viktor as a villain. Marcus, in the second movie, was nothing more than an obsessed, patricidal egomaniac. Or, but simply, he needed killing.

Although I did enjoy Kraven's ignominous demise.

I do enjoy poetry, and have been known to write some on occasion. I've never had anything published, but hope springs eternal. I enjoy a variety of poets, ranging from Shakespeare to Robert Frost, Emily Dickenson, T.S. Elliot, even Shel Silverstein. But I think my favorite poem that I've read was "An Old Astronomer to his Pupil" by the American poet Sarah Williams.

And yourself? Are you a poetry buff?

I can't honestly say I'm a fan of comic books, just because I've never actually read a proper comic book. I do, however, enjoy the movies and television shows that I've seen that were based upon comic book characters. My favorite hero of that ilk is, and always will be, Batman. The Dark Knight rocks. Accept no substitutes.

Have you seen Batman Begins? I am of the opinion that it is the best Batman movie made to date.

I haven't seen any of the Fallout Boys' videos, although now that you have asked you may be sure I'm going to go look for them. I'm deployed and don't have access to a television very often. However, I have access to Yahoomusic.

I am an Avril Lavigne fan, albeit a mild one, and I think her first album was marginally better than the second one. I enjoyed (and own) both. I'm waiting to see when she comes out with a third album. If she has already, please tell me. I haven't exactly been able to keep up with the music industries' latest releases here.

I like Hilary Duff's music alright, but it seems to me that she's shaping up to be just another teenage pop princess. It would be a pity if that happens, as she has so much potential.

I have fairly eclectic tastes in music. One of the artists I'm more fond of is Anna Nalick, a recent addition to alternative music. Do you know her songs? I also enjoy U2, Prince, Queen, Eminem, Enya, Toby Keith, Loreena McKennitt, classical music, Andrew Lloyd Weber's musicals and a host of other artists in a wide range of genres. What about yourself?

I do believe I've answered all of your questions at this point. So I have a few random questions for you.

What is your opinion of fantasy art?
Do you have any favorite artists?
What is your favorite Evanescence song?
How did you become interested in Evanescence's music?
Do you like literature?
What kinds of literature?

That's enough questions for the moment. I look forward to seeing your responses!
