Ginfer

I'm a 19 year old college student who's combining Religion, Anthropology, and Government as an interdisciplinary major. I like to paint and draw, listen to hip-hop and This American Life, watch shows off of showtime, and travel all over.

"I'm flyer'n a spaceship."

• I would love to be able to afford more dunks in really cool colorways (check some out at http://nicekicks.com/index.php?s=dunks ) It's a pain though 'cause they don't make a lot of cool ones in women's/kids sizes.

• I'm 4'11"

• I wear a size 4 kids shoe.

• I really would like to do semester at sea or the scholarship next semester.

• I enjoy pineapple and champagne soda.

• I really like impressionists, but my own painting is more like weird watercolor doodling.

• I don't like 80's rock/electonic music. At all. Or heavy metal.

• My favorite Disney princess is Jasmine.

• I like dinosaurs, ice cream, and space themes.

• I think religious icons (no matter the religion) are incredibly cool.

• I love, love, love, Indian, Cuban, and Thai food.

• I really hate Mexican food.

• I love interesting/funny picture clippings from newspapers/magazines.

• I think tacky keychains and cute cell phone charms are great.

• I'm looking into a scholarship this summer with NPR!

• I love more than anything cooking in a crowded kitchen and dancing around to reggae with friends and family.

I'm really into my music - I love all kinds but especially hip-hop. Some of my favourite artists are Talib Kweli, The Streets, Kanye West, MF Doom & all his aliases, Brother Ali, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Murs, Psalm One, Mos Def, Atmosphere, The Roots, Immortal Technique, De La Soul, Gnarls Barkley, and Dizzee Rascal, just to name a few.

Pandora.com says I enjoy East coast roots (duh), heavy R&B and Funk influences (c'mon, how could I not?), and poetic lyrics (the best kind.)

I also really like reggae and alternative stuff, and if classes this semester don't beat me down too badly I might try to be a d.j. on the university radio.

Some CD's I'd love a burn of:

• "Piracy Funds Terrorism" -M.I.A.

• Dancehall mixes!

• Harold & Kumar soundtracks

• "The Odd Couple" -Gnarls Barkley

• Smoosh albums.

• "Infinite Possibilities" -Amel Larrieux

• "Revolutionary Vol.1" -Immortal Technique

• "If It Was You" -Tegan and Sara

• "Julie Ruin" -Julie Ruin

• "Panic Prevention" -Jamie T

• "Mmm... Food" -MF Doom

I get pretty serious about my shows... Which is kind of sad now that I think about it, haha.

America's Next Top Model, Weeds, Jeopardy!, Le Journal, Cash Cab, Dead Like Me, Project Runway, The L Word, No Reservations, and Sex & the City are all pretty awesome.

Amelie, The Muppets Movie, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic, Chocolat, Monsoon Wedding, The Birdcage, American Beauty, 9 to 5, Calamity Jane, Spice World, 10th Kingdom, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, All About my Mother, Bend it Like Beckham, Better Off Dead, Grosse Point Blank, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Tank Girl, Love Actually, City Of Lost Children, Harry Potter, Frida, A Very Long Engagement, Where the Heart Is, Real Women Have Curves, Dogma, A Little Romance, Spirited Away, Girlfight, Harold and Maude, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Lackawanna Blues, Saved!, Clueless, De-Lovely, Kinsey, Empire Records, Jarhead, Fight Club, French Kiss, Jumanji, Steel Magnolias, The Way We Were, Bringing up Baby and a billion, million more.

Gold/Yellow and Orange - they seem to be kinda unloved colours, which make me love them even more.
