Hiya all, I'm brand new here, y'all can call me Elephant. I grew up in the South but now I live in California and I play the keyboards and guitar. And I attempt to write.
So here's the bit about me, the new dude...
I like mexican food, rock out to any thing from the Doors to Blink to the Faint, even some Sinatra. I like Bond only when its Sean Connery, I'm a comic and film junkie, am a bit of a computer geek, Baldurs Gate and Diablo. I love to watch old black and white silent's and make up the dialogue. My favorite actors are John Travolta, Sean Connery, Robert Deniro, Laurence Fishburn, Dustin Hoffman, Paul Newman, Benicio del Toro and John Cusack. Actrises are Minnie Driver, Scarlet Johanssen, and Monica Belluci. Favorite movies are Le Pact de Loups, Swordfish, El Lobo, Home at the End of the World, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Donny Darko. Favorite comics have to be Fantastic Four and X-Men. I'm 18, I work, I go to school. I love Family Guy and Futurama. I used to sing in a band. I have 3 younger sisters and a younger brother and I speak passable french and a tiny bit of latin. So thats about it.

Salve. Mihi nomen est Jacquie.
Hi! My name is Jacquie. I've just started taking Latin, so I know a little, too. I tried to learn guitar, but...ouch! Gave me blisters on my fingers. I guess they're even though I'm a violinist.
Welcome to YWS! Hope you like it, and I'll see you around the forums, I guess.  |

Thanks for the welcome all. I know this is late, but I've been stuck in Ohio for 2 weeks with internet connection.
