Obsessions:

Well my first obsession started just after my 12th birthday, 18 days 
after to be exact. The date August 12, 1977 7:00 pm, the scene of the 
crime the Wyoming Mall Cinema(single screen then, no longer exists 
now). I had gone to the snack bar with my friends parents to help 
bring back treats since I was the oldest. The theater was dark when 
we re-entered and the movie had already started and there on that 
HUGE screen I was a total awe struck 12 year old. Seeing that white 
arrow shaped ship cross over the planet below was just an incredible 
sight, I was hooked. As you can guess I've by obsessed with Star Wars 
ever since. It's an obsession that has gone on for close to 25 years 
now. I'm sure Harry Potter will be right there with SW 25 years from 
now as a continuing obsession.


Movies I watch over & over:

Well of course the SW trilogy. I've seen each one in a theater at 
least 8 times, that I can remember, and god only knows how many times 
on video. The Indiana Jones trilogy has been seen probably as many 
times as SW.

Other movies I can watch a million times: Better Off Dead, The Sure 
Thing, Gross Point Blank, Miss Congeniality, E.T., any Gene Kelly or 
Danny Kaye movie, Twister, Aliens, Willow, Animal House, and probably 
100 more that I can't think of right now. What can I say I'm a movie 
nut.


Handles:

I chose my handle Alyeskakc after I came back from a trip to Alaska 
back in '93. There's a mountain and ski area outside of Anchorage 
called Mt. Alyeska and if memory serves me correctly it means "the 
great land". I thought it was a cool name and it would always remind 
me of my trip. The kc on the end is just my initials tacked on since 
there was already several Alyeska's on AOL. 

Cheers,

Kristin
 I hope I haven't bored you all to death.
