My dad is the reason I like westerns.
When I was a kid, we'd make some popcorn, turn on the TV and chances were there would be a western on (they were hugely popular at that time in my country, but I'm not telling the year; check out the entry at wikipedia!) and I loved all of them - American classics, spaghetti westerns, and what has become known a the revisionist westerns.
I had a huge crush on James Coburn, Gary Cooper and Glen Ford (although not at the same time), and I thought Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson were the coolest guys around.
In case you're wondering about where I come from, I was born in the city of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, famous for its Old Bridge and a jumping competition that's been taking place for over 400 years. It's an annual competition which draws people from all over the world to try their skill at both traditional and modern forms of high diving.
| Interests | I'm interested in a lot of things, from anthropology, to space science and zoology. I love making wallpapers, collages and web banners, as well as drawing, reading and writing. I've been a western fan ever since I was a little girl, which is my dad's fault! We used to watch westerns together, and now that we live in different cities, it is my favorite memory of our time together. |
| Favorite music | I like a variety of genres, and I'll listen to any song that moves me in some way. Lately I've been listening to a lot of jazz, and I've just started learning about it. I also like '80s and '90s music. Some of my favorite artists are Jennifer Paige, Ten Sharp, Sade, The Goo Goo Dolls, Savage Garden, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many, many more... |
| Favorite TV shows | The same thing, and my favorites are The Magnificent Seven, Homicide: Life on the Street, all incarnations of Star Trek... |
| Favorite movies | Like with music, I also watch a variety of genres, including film noir, Sci-Fi and fantasy, dramas and thrillers, etc. My favorite movies include The Maltese Falcon, To Have and to Have Not, Star Wars and Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, The Magnificent Seven, Rio Bravo, 3:10 to Yuma, The Bourne Identity, Narrow Margin, Phone Booth... The list goes on. |
| Favorite books | The Lord of the Rings, Titan - Wizard - Demon trilogy by John Varley, Odd Thomas books by Dean Koontz |
