Introduction I'm 20 years of age (although if you ask, I usually forget and say either 19 or 21). As of this moment I am an individualized major in Digital Media with an emphasis on film studies and professional writing. A mouthful, I know. I collect old movies and vintage movie magazines, Judy stuff, Barbra stuff (lay off, will ya, it was a phase), MTM stuff, and celeb playing cards. When I'm older I wanna look like Kay Thompson. Judy Garland is divine, Edith Beale is divine, I've always wanted to be Jewish, and make up for it by overusing Yiddish phrases that really have no use in conversation, like "A sheynem dank dir im pupik."
