Hi. My name is Marina, and i talk to myself. A lot. I live in Florida, i am 17, and i have a dog and two brothers. That's about as exciting as this is going to get.     My favorite time of day is the late afternoon and early evening, because I like the way the light is, and how everything feels. I tend to stay up way too late at night, and get up way too early on school days. I enjoy naps, but not getting up from them. I do not like alarm clocks.     I love going to the movies, watching good tv, and staying in to eat. (doesn't that sound like a line for a dating service? 'I like long walks on the beach, watching sunsets...') I am intensely obsessed with Ewan McGregor, and am in love with Spider-Man. I absolutely adore Harry Potter and was way behind the public obsession with it. I can quote far too many episodes of Friends, The Simpsons, and The X-Files. My family and i have gone to DisneyWorld at least several times each month since before i can remember, and i'm a big theme park nut (dude, they're fun!). I don't like most people my age. I don't like a lot of people. But there are a lot of people i like, too, so it's okay.     I am not a big fan of school. I despise work, i always put it off, and basically it makes my life miserable. Plus i have a couple of extremely unpleasant teachers. I figure if there is anything more i really need to know to make my life successful and fulfilling, i will learn it voluntarily. I am not religious, do not attend church, and generally really hate organized religion (what a nice final note, eh?).     Here are some more fun (read: useless) facts!
