Will's Interests

Phoenix My next character

One of my favorite things to do is write. In particular, to roleplay. I have been a member of one particular site based around the magical world (but not characters) created by J.K. Rowling for nearly four years now. In that time, I have written 3 major characters, all of whom, of course, have very different personalities and peculiarities, and am developing a fourth. Phoenix, pictured at right, is the character currently in development. He is a mean little thing with an ego roughly the size of Montana. He won't make his first appearence in the role play until sometime next summer, once I am completed with my current character.

Another of my interests is politics. For some reason, I have always enjoyed discovering how things work, and the Government is no exception. The American system of government, in particular, has always intrigued me. It is amazing that we have a government so purposefully divided and seperated, yet the different branches and departments have somehow managed to keep this country functioning for more than two and a quarter centuries! I know, of course, about all the bickering and fighting that does go on within government, but that, yet again, makes me all the more amazed that the country still runs.

I also enjoy movies. In my view, movies are a way to see someone else's imagination at work, there to stimulate your own. A truly great film isn't one that makes you laugh, or cry, or leave you walking out of the theatre wishing they had cast some other actor instead. A mark of a film's true greatness lies in it's ability to make audience members continue the story. No film can ever show everything there is to see about a story. The film would take a lifetime to watch. The great films, however, pick one small part of the story to show, usually from one person's point of view and, though it wraps up the storylines that exist, the audiences' minds are racing to write the next chapter on their own. That is the mark of a great film.
