Quicksilvermad: There are some who call me...Jenn?

And yes, coconuts do migrate. Or they're carried by swallows.

Basic Info
Bio


quick bio ♦ talents ♣ writing/art ♥ music ♠ film
I am Jennifer Holton (5'1", blue eyes, fair skin), born on March 29, 1986 in Vandenberg, CA—and can still remember a time when there was no such thing as the Internet or mp3s and VHS was brand spankin' new. I currently live in Woodbridge, VA—about 22 miles south of Washington D.C. and graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design at the Art Institute of Washington in Arlington (technically it's in Rosslyn) as of March 26, 2009. I have a tattoo on my upper back of wings and the Chinese characters for the word "serenity" done in henna colored ink. I'm also lactose intolerant but I love cheesecake. My username comes from the SciFi TV series, The Invisible Man. It's the term they used in the show for when Darien (the invisible man) used his invisibility gland too much and the fluid that enabled him to become invisible (quicksilver) built up to a toxic level in his bloodstream and made him go crazy. I was a huge "Imaniac" and lucky to be the first on the message boards to use "quicksilvermad" as my handle.
I have drawn since the tender age of two. I mimic accents and voices just for kicks; speak English, Spanish, American Sign Language fluently—knows bits and pieces of Greek, German, Italian, French, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I can also sing (I'm an alto in a choir group), wiggle my ears, use my feet like hands, pull my legs around the back of my neck, wiggle the tendons in my middle fingers, blow smoke rings, and I know how to program a remote.
Fics old and new are at Fanfiction.net and my LiveJournal. My other works are hiding away on my hard drive until I get around to posting them here. I do write more than just fanfiction. Authors I enjoy are Chuck Palahniuk, Jeff Lindsay, Jim Butcher, Douglas Adams, and Dean Koontz.
As I said, I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil at two years of age and I'm currently earning my degree to draw for a living. Most of my artwork is on my deviantART site.
I have a wide range of music in my iTunes library (from Pink Floyd, Queen and David Bowie to Rammstein, Muse, MIKA, The Scissor Sisters, and The Fratellis). Mostly, I listen to film soundtracks. They make for good "drawing music." I also love making fanmixes for various fandoms (or even gemixes for driving, dancing, and running) and would post more of them if I could only finalize the track ordering on the playlists.
I am a film buff. All time favorites include and eclectic grouping of: STAR TREK (2009), Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, A Knight's Tale, Singin' In The Rain, Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus, Die Hard, Empire Strikes Back, Jaws, Land of the Dead, The Chronicles of Narnia (BBC and Walden Media) Chaplin, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Penelope, The Accidental Husband, Hot Fuzz, Labyrinth, The Great Escape, My Name is Nobody, The Last King Of Scotland, Sex and Death 101, Moulin Rouge, Close Encounters of a Third Kind, Zodiac, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, 30 Days of Night, the Saw movies, Full Metal Jacket, 10 Things I Hate About You, Evil Dead II, Serenity, Iron Man, Atonement, Wanted, The Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder (and this is the short list). I watch movies almost constantly—I even worked at Suncoast before they went out of business and was there when Pirates of the Caribbean was released. We used to play the movie on the TVs mounted throughout the store and it got to the point where I could quote the dialogue just by hearing what music was playing while I was in the back room sorting DVDs.
