The Essential Hannah
FUN FACTS: My name, Hannah, is a palindrome... meaning that it is the same both backwards and forwards. And my last name is almost a palindrome. --- I am almost 5'11 [or more, possibly - I don't know any longer...], have gold-blonde hair, and eyes that are either blue or greenish, depending on the day. --- I am obsessed with JOURNEY's music, and I am absolutely in love with their former lead singer, STEVE PERRY. Or at least I am in love with the '80s version of him, because he's not around much anymore, which saddens me. Also, he's 58 now. But I would still marry him. --- My favorite show will always be LOST. Sawyer [Josh Holloway] is Steve's runner-up. --- I love my goofy, [sometimes wannabe bad-boy] long-haired guys: STEVE PERRY, Sawyer [Josh Holloway], Keith Urban, Jack Sparrow, Inigo Montoya [from The Princess Bride, which is my favorite movie]...the list continues, but those are my favorites. I also love Bono and House, even though their hair is short. Bono should grow out his hair again, man. Hott! --- I don't believe in Bush, war, the death penalty, soda, Will Ferrell, most rap music (but kudos to Eminem), cauliflower, liver and tomatoes. --- I love going running. It's incredibly exhilarating for a new hobby. --- I was voted Most Likely To Become a Soccer Mom and/or Vegetarian by my friends. They also nominated me for Homecoming Queen, for some reason. --- I do not eat much red meat, because I prefer chicken or fish (which I cannot eat as often as I'd like to due to the increasing levels of mercury in saltwater fish). --- I am a connoisseur of coffee and tea. --- I do not believe in soda, but I like Frozen Cokes from Burger King. I drink coffee, tea, lots of water, and the occasional smoothie. --- When I go online, I spend most of my time searching for photos and info about Steve Perry and Journey, blogging, emailing my friends, making icons and graphics, or editing things on MySpace, plus downloading photos. --- Contrary to popular belief, I actually talk TOO much. Do you think I talk too much? I think I talk too much. See? There's no denying it. --- I love to watch science and nature specials on Nova. If I were not pursuing writing and/or music, I would want to be a marine biologist. I am fascinated by the ocean and its creatures. ---My favorite colors are turquoise, teal, olive green, coral, and plum purple, but I also have a current obsession with yellow. And leopard print. [Wonder why? ;) ]

Hobbies and Talents
I secretly want to be a rockstar. [Secret's out. ?] --- I sing, and play guitar and keyboard. I have one of each of those instruments, and my dad has three additional awesome guitars. The keyboard, I figure out on my own, because I can play by ear. --- I am an aspiring writer. I specialize in songs [and some poems, especially ones with a "perfect" or rhyming meter], but I am contemplating subject matter for a novel as well. --- I've always been an artist - I used to mostly draw, sketch and scrapbook, but now I'm more into graphic design, and icon-making on livejournal [ see my icon journal at http://ethereal-sunset.livejournal.com/ !] --- I'm also very much into photography. --- I love bowling and soccer. --- On occasion, I like to kick some air hockey butt. --- Strange Talents: I can do cartwheels, and I can throw popcorn into the air and catch it in my mouth. I am also great at math, organizing things, games such as Scrabble and Uno!, and playing the recorder.
