Name: Alison Occupation: George Washington University Student Appearance: I have Dark Brown Eyes, Pale Skin, and Dark Brown waist-length hair (soon to be cut, but only a few inches). People think I'm taller than I really am, but I'm only 5'3". I'm probably one of the few women in the United States who is happy with her body; if it stayed like this for the rest of my life, I'd feel quite satisfied and lucky. Current Reading: Hyperspace by Michio Kaku Favorite Movies: "Lawrence of Arabia", "Run, Lola, Run", "The Atomic Bomb Movie" Favorite Books: Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, The Pillow Book by Sei Shonagon, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett Favorite Magazine: Print (it's design-a-riffic) Favorite Places: Union Square Area of San Francisco, Bear Tooth Mountains in Montana, (And of course) the Foggy Bottom area of DC (a.k.a. home) Favorite Weather: the big storm variety Bad Habits: Eating Nutella straight out of the jar, peeling off people's sunburned skin (among many others) Fun Medical Fact: I have metal rods fused to my spine. I missed most of my Junior Year of high school because of the surgery and subsequent complications. Now I'm not nearly as flexible as I used to be, but I have great posture.
