Hello
there. My name is Alice Teeple, and I'm an integrative arts student
at the Pennsylvania State University. I've been here a long time.
Too long, in fact. But here I must remain, and here I shall, until
I stop getting the flu and having tooth problems and junk. December,
I am hoping.
Since
you cared so much to actually read on, let me tell you a little about myself.
I'm five-foot-four and a half inches tall, but I usually sport sensible
shoes with thick soles. I have a bobbed haircut. I can beat
you at a burping contest. I can juggle fire. I can understand
five languages. I can make a bitchin' batch of peanut-butter cookies.
And....I make movies. I've also had a lot of people tell me I look like
Amélie. Well, if you think dark brown eyes and a bobbed haircut
equals looking a lot like Amélie, then you are correct. But
I'm not French. Not even close. But I like French fries.
I was born on a frigid Friday, 5 January, 1979. I was supposed to have been born nearly three weeks earlier on 19 December 1978, but took my good old time in coming out because tacky Christmas lawn dècor frightened me. Since then, I've had difficulty doing things on time. Had I actually been born on the day I was expected to, perhaps my life would have been different. Maybe I would have been better at math. I spent my formative years being the class geek, getting picked on, reading a lot, and avoiding crappy music. My parents, thankfully, have GREAT taste in music; ergo saving me from the trauma many of my peers now face of having to look back and realise that yes, they did have New Kids On the Block bedsheets. But not me. I listened to the music that my peers pretend that they listened to during the 1980s...when they all made fun of me. I chortle. Ha. My sister came along when I was six. Her name is Jane. We get along quite spiffily, although sometimes we get into these wild fights. That hasn't changed in seventeen years, however. I
like to read. A lot. I'll read anything that looks interesting.
I do have a few favourite authors. They include the darling Dorothy
L. Sayers; Maurice Sendak, Ruth Rendell, Margery Allingham, Colin Dexter,
P.D. James, and Tom Wolfe. Actually, that's not a very good assortment
of genres. Well, I like mysteries.
Other favourite artists of mine include (not in total) Moxy Früvous
Amélie
Ahhhh.
Yes, that's about all I have to say for myself, other than that I write
a lot, make movies, and indulge in Web Therapy nearly every day.
Have a lovely day.

Aside
from listening to music all the time, I also watch a lot of movies.
I also forget to take them back to Mike's. Currently I have out "Circle
of Friends" and "The Governess;" both which, coincidentally, starred Minnie
Driver. I have no real favourite genre of movie; I like all kinds.
Lately I've been watching a lot of French cinema....weird stuff.
My French understanding is poor.
