you make me want to dance

I guess I'm going to copy my fellow internies and tell y'all a little about me in a survery shindig:

Name: Aimee Heather Rakowski

Most commonly goes by: Aimee, A, Tits (true story)

Location: New York City! And Long Island any other time.

How I got involved with ST: Sarah posting about the ST team needing intern peeps

Position at ST: Graphic design, updating websites, basically whatever they need me to do. Oh, and eating Bon Jovi's pizza.

Favorite ST Band: I think The Oohlas and Playradioplay. I've loved The Oohlas for a while and I just got hooked on Playradioplay a couple of months ago. But really, all of the bands are amazing and I could prob listen to them for hours on end.

Favorite musical artists: My musical taste is kind of wide spectrum but stuff I absolutely adore is... Sum 41, Nightmare Of You, The Fratellis, Muse, Head Automatica, The Strokes, The Sounds, Shiny Toy Guns, The Killers, The King Left, No Doubt, My Chemical Romance, Idlewild, We Are Scientists, Youth Group, and a bunch of other stuff...

Favorite Movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, definitely. I can watch this movie probably fifty times and never get bored. I also love anything with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.... Fight Club, Wedding Crashers, Little Miss Sunshine, SUPERBAD!!!

Favorite TV Shows: Entourage, America's Next Top Model, House, Scrubs, Will & Grace re-runs, and probably my favorite show on TV right now? DIRTY SEXY MONEY. It's like the Royal Tenenbaums meets Gossip Girl and fucking blows my mind every week.

Favorite Books: To be honest, I am the hugest Harry Potter nerd I know. I grew up on the books and they were what really truly made me want to be a writer. It still fascinates me that JK Rowling could've thought of everything in them, I'm kind of convinced she's a witch forreals.... And if Remus Lupin were a real person, I'd be all over that hot piece of wolf ass.

Hobbies: Being loud and hilarious, dancing, singing, listening to music, going to shows, wasting money I don't have, watching movies I've already memorized the words to, hanging with peeps, reading celeb gossip online, and other general internet-y related things

MY TEN RANDOM FACTS!

1. I am Jewish, though I never finished going to Hebrew school and thus haven't been bat mitzvah'd. My family isn't hardcore Jew but we celebrate the holidays with each other. I've secretly thought about going to get bat mitzvah'd when I'm older but I have a feeling I'm going to marry outside of my religion, and that doesn't really bother me.
2. I'm going to NYU with a declared major in Journalism. My dream would be to do something in the music industry, and since I'm a good writer, I thought combining that with music could grant me the best of both worlds.
3. I have a heavy Long Island accent and I'm often teased by my non-NY friends for the way I say things such as "thought" and "saw"
4. I've never been to Europe would LOVELOVELOVE to go sometime in the near future. Picking where I want to study abroad is kind of going to be a problem.
5. I'm a coffee WHORE. I'll pretty much drink it at any time of the day, whenever it is available. There is a possibility I could live in Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks and be happy. Pumpkin spice lattes are my jam.
6. Like I said, I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd. I do the whole midnight movie and book release shpeels, and I cried hysterically after finishing the 7th book because it was all over. I just decided that I want my first tattoo to be the Gryffindor crest on the top of my right foot. As geeky as that is, you've got to admit it'll be pretty badass.
7. I love taking pictures. I bring my camera wherever I go, just so that if something noteworthy happens along the way, I can take a picture or a video of it. I really want to take a digital photography course in college and I'm going to fight for it next semester.
8. Thinking about space and the universe really freaks me out. We had to take Earth Science when I was in 8th grade and in class, we learned about how big space was and how you could get sucked in by black holes and be lost forever. And so it really weirds me out thinking about all that.
9. My first favorite band was Sum 41, who I started listening to when I was 11 or 12, and Cone (their bassist) was the reason I myself started playing bass in 9th grade. Now, I am 18 and finally saw them for the first time a few weeks ago and met them all after the show. It was awesome.
10. I have huge tits and friends who enjoy poking them and/or placing things in between them.

There's probably a lot about myself I'm leaving out, but the good thing about a blog is that you learn about someone through what they write. Therefore, prepare to be further enlightened by our coolness. I have a headache so I'm going to go sleep now (but obviously, posting in here was way more important).

Ps my favorite band of the moment is The King Left, who I saw open for Nightmare of You a few weeks ago. Check them out and buy their EP, it's only 3 bucks: http://www.myspace.com/thekingleft
