Hi TwiLexians :) I'm Alissa...

Post by ShinyVolvoDriver »

Hi everyone! Another newborn joins the ranks... :) Okay here goes:


How did you pick your screen name?
I really do drive a shiny Volvo! A 2001 S80. It's really pretty :D

How did you come to read Twilight and which book is your favorite?
I only discovered Twilight 10 days before the release of Breaking Dawn (yes, I do feel like a bandwagon jumper!). There were big stands of the Twilight books all over Borders, so I randomly picked up the first one. I didn't stop reading it until 1pm that night, and bought the next two the day after. I was hooked from the first moment :D My favourite would have to be Twilight, closely seconded by Eclipse.

Who do you like best: Edward, Bella, or Jacob?
Jacob!! He is my favourite character in the entire series... so much Jacob love right here :) But I still like Edward. He did win me over in the end, so I am Team Edward... but only so I could keep Jacob for myself :D

Who is your favorite minor character?
Seth Clearwater, Garrett, or Emmett. Garrett was such a surprise! He got to deliver the best speech in all of Breaking Dawn. Wow. I really want to read more about him! And Emmett cracks me up every time :)

What are your hobbies?
I'm a musician. Playing the piano is my release from the world - I could play Chopin nocturnes for days when I'm happy, and Liszt when I'm angry. Lizst broke lots of piano strings! I love to sing harmonies sitting around the piano with my very best friends. I love to dance and compose and perform.

My second love is reading. I tend to stick with authors that I love, and then read everything they've ever written. My favourites (apart from Stephenie Meyer) are Orson Scott Card, Jodi Picoult, Matthew Reilly, Gerald Lund, Dan Brown, Phillip Pullman, JK Rowling, and my latest discovery, Richard North Patterson.

Where are you from (general area like Montana, not exact town!)
Brisvegas, Australia :)

How old are you? (In general, like teen, 20's, 30's, 40's etc)
22

Anything else you would like to share:
I graduated from uni last year with a degree in Psychological Science, which comprised four of the best years of my life. I am a UQ snob... "How many UQ students does it take to change a light bulb?" "Just one, and the whole world revolves around him"... hehehe... I now work at the Australian Bureau of Statistics, where I process all the births, deaths, and marriages in Australia. I'm a nerd, so I like statistics.

I'm a Mormon, like Stephenie Meyer, and I teach the Beehive class in my ward (for anyone not a Mormon - that means the 12-13 year old girls). I love it because it means I have an excellent bunch of people to talk Twilight to! My girls are the best.

I love dark chocolate and snuggling under a big fuzzy doona when it's cold outside. I love to travel and my #1 travel destination would be Macchu Pichu in Peru. Hamish and Andy are my heroes. I love Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, Bones, and David Tennant as Doctor Who. My friend Cyd and I are currently trying to shake our hips in as many random situations as we can - so far we've shaken them on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, in the Salt Lake City temple, in Switzerland (which probably beats Utah), and with Jennifer Hawkins. I love my husband and my friends more than anything in the world. That's about it
