Introduction It's always a little tough to be put on the spot to introduce yourself. With all the interviews and first days of school/semesters I've gone through, you would think I would've gotten the knack of it; well, prepare to be disappointed. Okay, let's start with the basics. You can call me Fran and aside from the mentioned interests, there's just a shell of a self-deprecating human being with no other purpose than to make money to ensure urban survival. Hmm... A bit dark, let's tone it down a bit. Call me Fran, and just like all human beings, I just want to know myself a little better. So I hope you have the patience or interest to fit the puzzle pieces of this blog to try and recognize a semblance of who I am, because I sure have no idea what to write in this introduction. Ha ha!
Interests Visual Arts, Music, Songwriting, Performing, Literature, Writing, History, Fashion, Beauty/Makeup, Animals/Pets, Travelling
Favorite Movies Godfather 1 and 2, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Studio Ghibli movies, Mulan, The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby and a few others that I can't remember (will hopefully feature them in this blog)
Favorite Music Don't get me started. The list is too long. But when it comes to musical taste I have this saying "I like what I like." So don't be surprised if I talk about a putrid concoction that music that people might not want to drink.
Favorite Books Most of the classics, but if I have to read one book over and over again for the rest of my life, it would be SHOGUN by James Clavell. Go get your copy now.

You've just inherited a manufacturing plant that specializes in plastics. What are you going to make?

I'm going to make a proposal to use alternative materials, instead. If that fails, then I'm shutting it down.
