A Little More About Me - The Surface

A little more backstory, if you will:

My full name is Elizabeth Grace Morris. I go by Liz in most circles. I did have another middle name; Mary, the name I took when I was confirmed into Catholicism, but I've since abandoned both the name and the religious label. More about that later.

Currently I live in Nebraska and attend Dawes University. I'm a student of English and Art, mostly because they don't have a sequential art major at DU (I want to be a graphic novelist). My parents live about twenty minutes away from campus in a really big house with three floors, lots of furniture, and two cats. My sister Meg also lives there, but she'll be moving onto the DU campus in August. She'll be majoring in Dance and Psychology.

My Dad, Bill, works for the Air Force. He used to be in the Navy, and because of that we used to move around a lot. I've lived in ten different states and been through almost every country in Europe. We spent the most time in England, and because of that I've developed a weakness for English teas, Monty Python, and public transportation.

My mom, Diane, works at DU in the music department. She's a doctor of choral music, and I've always respected her for being able to handle me and Meg when we were kids. She'd work all day and still be able to pick us up from school and have fresh cookies waiting on the table when we got home. These days she gets on my nerves all the time, but that's because she's my mom. It's just what she does.

Right now I'm in-between Sophomore and Junior year. I lived on campus for two years, and plan on returning there in August. During the summer I'm living in a house with my friend Noel, who also functions as my boss during the semester. I used to work at the Snack Hut in the basement of Eastview, the honors dorm. I'll be going back there in the fall, as well as continuing to work my current job in the Science Library. It's the easiest job in the world, as I essentially get paid to surf the internet, read webcomics, and watch youtube videos.

I spend most of my time hanging out and playing games at my boyfriend Will's house. I won't gush about him here, but we've been dating for six months and he's amazing. He lives in a house with four other guys; Luke, Bill, Joe and Jeff. Jeff is my ex-boyfriend, which makes living there kinda awkward, and I don't help by staying over a lot of nights...
When we hang out we play Magic: the Gathering, which Will has been teaching me how to play. We also play lots of D&D. I currently run a campaign for seven people on Sunday afternoons. It's fourth edition, which is a whole new experience for us.

I'm hoping to go into graphic novelism when I graduate, but I don't know how that will happen. I guess I'm just rolling with it for now.

I'm a vegetarian, but I don't mind cooking meat for other people. I'm mildly asthmatic, so I have trouble getting enough exercise. I can read ridiculously fast and I'm always fidgeting. Someday I hope to move back to a coast someday, as I function better when there's water nearby.

That's the surface info. Lucky for you guys, I've got a few more layers than this. More about those layers later.

Liz.
