JCHS IB Film Studies

I like sprinkles. The colorful ones. My hobbies are being weird, singing and dancing to myself only, acting like a bum, and being weird some more. I like to watch any kind of movie besides gore, I can't stand those kinds of movies. My favorite movies are (in preference) Finding Nemo, Bee Movie, Lilo And Stitch, Monsters Inc., Toy Story I, II, and III, Lion King 1 1/2, The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Step Up 2, Stomp the Yard, and MANY more. I pretty much like every movie I watch, except for Beowulf...and The Jerk...Anyways, my goals are just to make it out alive with all these IB classes, improve drastically in my cheer area, and to stay sweet under all that pressure.
