I would pay off my debts before buying anything, but I would probably buy a house and a car first thing.
The daily (hopefully) thoughts of a History major on everything from movies and actors to music and books, as well as any other things I can think of.

What's the one movie you can watch again and again without getting sick of it, regardless of the last time you watched it?
Hmm, this is a good question. I have a lot of those [since I'm a big movie person}, but probably it would have to be either the original Star Wars trilogy or Tombstone. They're just so well made as films, and I have yet to get tired of them, despite watching them at least twice a year since I was seven years old.
What's your favorite book?
I have a lot of favorite books. Top 10 would be as follows:
1. Lord of the Rings
2. 'Salem's Lot
3. In Cold Blood
4. The Hobbit
5. The Kitchen God's Wife
6. The Haunting of Hill House
7. A Thousand Splendid Suns
8. Carrie
9. Battle Royale
10. Howl's Moving Castle

If you could date any celebrity, who would it be?
I have too many celebrity crushes to consider anything but polyandry at this point in time. But, if I had to narrow down to just one, right now...probably Chris Marquette. He's close to my age, and surprisingly so, since most of the celebs I crush on are between 32-48. He's 26, and I'm 22 going on 23. Plus he's adorable.
BUT! If polyandry were an option; Chris Marquette, Robert Downey Jr., Clifton Collins Jr., Jason Sudeikis and Jensen Ackles. All of that.
If you could attend any concert, what would it be?
I'd like to have seen Alice in Chains in their heyday, before Layne Staley died. Them, with Pearl Jam, The Gits and Nirvana would be a bitchin' show.
But as for the present; Muse with Metric and The National would be amazing. I'm seeing Muse with Metric in two weeks, so that will at least be partly fulfilled.
What was your favorite movie as a child?
'Aladdin', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Jurassic Park', 'Tombstone' and 'Mulan'.
What's your favorite drink?
Non-alcoholic; tie between Ginger Ale and Tea
Alcoholic; Frozen Mudslide.
What TV show do you wish would go off the air for good?
Well, I got my wish with 'Heroes', but right now, probably 'Vampire Diaries'.

Like Friends, we all toy around with the "top 5" or "top 10" list of celebrities that, even if we were in a committed, monogamous relationship, would get a "freebie" with. Got any you'd happily catch in the sack should the stars ever align properly?
1. Robert Downey Jr.
Do you have a certain book that you find yourself re-reading on a regular basis? If so, what book is it?
I have a few; The Second Wives Club by Jane Moore, The Silver Kiss and Blood and Chocolate, both by Annette Curtis Klause and Nickel and Dimed: On Not Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich. I wanted to re-read Lord of the Rings every year, but right now I just don't have the time.
Soon, I think In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King and The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule will be added to this list.

I imagine being you would be as cool as two fonzies tied together with snakes. What's your secret?
That is an amazing expression, one I will be using forever now. My secret is to make sure any jukebox I hit automatically plays ACDC's 'Back in Black', which, as we all know, is the theme song for any cool BAMF.

Who do you think should rule the world? (It's ok to vote for yourself) And why?
With my immense wisdom and breadth of knowledge, I would be the most logical choice.
Seriously though, no clue. No one should have THAT much power, I think.
What was the last book you read?
I just finished In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. That man was a phenomenal writer. The book is amazing and chilling at the same time.
What would you say is your absolute favorite show?
This is an incredibly tough question. It's a toss up between 'Supernatural' {because of the horror and hot dudes elements}, 'M*A*S*H' {because it has so many laugh out loud funny moments and so many wonderful characters} or 'Firefly' {because it's fucking amazing and perfect}.
Would you rather get up early or sleep late?
I hate getting up early, but thanks to the job, have gotten used to it. "Early" for me now is any time before 8 in the morning. That being said, I love sleeping late, but if I wake up any time after 11, I feel like my whole day's been wasted.
If you could eat dinner with any person, dead or alive, who would it be and where would you go?
I'd have shepherd's pie with J.R.R. Tolkien and pump him for information about Lord of the Rings.
And if not him, then I'd have a crazy drunken evening with Muse and get into shenanigans with Matt and Dom, while Chris stood somberly in the background, drinking his beer and wondering how he even met these two idiots.
What's your favorite season of the year?
Autumn. It's when everything looks its best. The colors of the trees and the landscape in general are beautiful enough to make me ache inside. I love the feel of crisp autumn evenings, digging out sweaters to get just a little bit warm. Plus, Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday ever.
What was your favorite movie as a child?
I had a few; 'Mulan', 'Ferngully', 'Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland' and 'Aladdin'. 'Mulan' and 'Aladdin' have stood the test of time. 'Ferngully' I have no desire to see ever again, and I recently re-watched 'Little Nemo'...I feel genuine sorrow for my parents having to be subjected to it so many times.
