| Bio: | I'm Here Somewhere I'm a 25-year-old with a BA and an MA from the University at Buffalo (also known as UB). I am currently in a new graduate program at the College of St. Rose to earn my teaching certification in English in addition to my Masters degree in Humanities. Ultimately, I want to teach Film at the college level. My MA is Film Studies and my BA is in Media with a concentration in Film. What's up With that Name? In case you're wondering..."Iolausian" is the name for a fan of Michael Eric Hurst, a New Zealand theater/television/film actor and director. It stems from his years on the US series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys when he played Iolaus in the mid-1990's. Hurst is an incredible actor on stage and I hope someday to see him in action doing theatre. Unnatural Habitat with Accompaniment I was born in Buffalo, moved out to the Saratoga area, and then back to Buffalo for almost a decade from 11th grade until age 24 with the parental units and two insane JRT's (jack russell terriers). I'm very musicial and have performed professionally at Proctors in Schnectady as well as three times at Carnegie Hall. The Beatles, U2, and Led Zeppelin are all worshipped in my new apartment. I grew up at the keyboard as an accompanist on piano for schools, plays, musicals, and volunteer work. Right now I'm obsessed with my bass guitar. *Cough* Beatles... Ouch, How Did That Happen? I was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy in July 2006, or more easily said, a chronic pain syndrome with symptoms and problems similar to that of fibromyalsia. After three months of physical therapy, crazy medicines that left me feeling worse than the actual condition, and not being able to return to work, I am finally feeling more like my old self and am trying to adjust to the fact that I will always be in some degree of pain. It could be worse, so I'm not going to keep complaining. Live it Like a Movie I have a strong love of sci-fi and fantasy and have always leaned toward cultish fandom since I was very young. My favorite comic book film is Richard Donner's 1978 classic (let's face it, Donner invented the way these films are essentially made) as well as Tim Burton's original Keaton Batman film. I also love old Hollywood, particularly Frank Capra, the director I wrote my thesis on. Robert Zemeckis and Sam Raimi are also high on the list as well as many projects from the Cohen Brothers. I'm also a big film noir buff. So, who's got the Maltese Falcon? (LOL!) Her Nose Stuck in Some Book Behold, another insane bookworm. I'm always reading for pleasure now that deep theoretical research (abeit sometimes interesting) is pretty much over for school. I enjoy the works of Barbara Kingsolver, Peter David, David Gerrold, Diane Carey, Jeffery Lang, Sergi Eisenstein, and the list continues... I find myself making frequent trips to my local library. Mmm. When I think of reading, I also think of Giles, which distracts me from my reading and makes me want to watch early season I of Btvs. Does this happen to anyone else? Anybody? ::cricket sounds:: Custom X:WP Mood Theme I created my Joxer/Gabby/Xena/Etc. mood theme myself but the actual raw dvd captures were from Angel Bacchae's screen captures. What can I say? Gotta love some Raimi. Brushes on my Icons: I mostly make my own icons because...I love making icons. Heheh. I'm not the best at it, there are people who are practically artists in the field, lol, but the important thing is to have fun and enjoy using Photoshop. I've have used brushes from the following talented LJ users: Wonderland__, Christmasangel and Cae-Prince. I think I also have used some lyrics brushes from Raynedanser. DW Series 2 Friends Only banner by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} icon_ology and oh, how gorgeous is it? LOL!As for the icons themselves, I made a lot of them, and those I didn't make I try my best to credit and/or find out who made a particular icon so I can properly credit them. Feel free to "friend" me and join in the weekly and sometimes daily craziness. What's My Line? I am frequently asked what my favorite film line is because of my background in the medium, but the truth is, I really cannot say because I have too many favorites! Hundreds! These are some that I use a lot. Probably on a daily basis. LOL. "Morons, your bus is leaving!" - Phil Connors, Ground Hog Day 1993. "Eight o'clock, eight o'clock...some friend! Story of my life. Cinderella bites the dust." - Lois Lane, Superman (1978). "Ray, when someone asks if you're a God, you say "Yes"! - Winston, Ghostbusters (1984). Last Words God, can I like...be done now? I HATE writing about my own life! AHHH!!!!! | |
