Bio
My name is Shannon. I was born in a tiny Eastern Oklahoma town, where I still live today. I'm a Poteau High School alumna, Class of 2008 and am currently attending Carl Albert State College where I am actively involved in Film Club. I've decided to pursue a major in film, because I've always enjoyed movies and am fascinated by the process of making them. Most people would describe me as being extremely shy, artistic, and easily distracted. I also tend to be obsessive about stuff, but I've been working on that. I believe that growing up is completely overrated and it doesn't hurt to act childish and be a dork every now and then. I often have naïve and idealistic expectations in the pursuit of new possibilities, but I always try my best to stay focused and keep my goals in sight even if they seem unusual to others. I'm happily engaged to

amazing_tommy and look forward to being his wife someday.I enjoy filmmaking and movies in general, and my favourite filmmakers currently are the Coen Brothers. My favourite band in the world is They Might Be Giants. I've been into them ever since I saw their "Doctor Worm" video on Nickelodeon some years ago. I am also a big fan of a lot of science fiction television shows such as Doctor Who, Star Trek: The Original Series, and Star Trek: The Next Generation. As far as comedy goes, I love The Kids in The Hall and I'm a HUGE fan of comedian Emo Philips. I dig a lot of older comedy like the Marx Brothers as well. I draw fanart a lot, and will happily take requests.
I've also been a proud member of the TMBG Talk Forums since December 13, 2006. Join, talk, enjoy the music of They Might Be Giants!
