Jordan Turner
Greetings! My name is, as I'm sure you have guessed from the large heading, Jordan Turner. Over the course of my 18 years, I have had few interesting events to tell of, so I shall instead speak on my interests in this world.
In class, most will begin to associate me with Star Wars T-shirts. Starting sometime in late 2015, I became a massive fan of the series, and have since read countless novels (canon and EU), watched all the cartoons, and begun collecting action figures. However, and this may come as a shock, Star Wars is not my favorite series ever. That spot is reserved for only one item: Lord of the Rings. The pure genius involved in the books, and all the extended reading available...it is incredible. The movies are just brilliance, and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King holds the place in my heart for greatest movie of all time.
As I type this, I listen to Mahler's 5th Symphony. Music is such an influential part of my life, as most of my high school career was spent in the band room. Currently, I am working towards an audition with the Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps. For those who do not know, Drum Corps International is a professional form of marching band, open to anyone good enough up to the age of 21. Here is a picture of my mom and I at the Drums Across Kansas show in El Dorado, this past July 17th.
Recently, I have become addicted to comics. Namely, Green Lantern. Just before I begin writing this, I started the prologue for Blackest Night, the first of the Blackest Night saga/stories. Though, it seems to be a very expensive hobby, so I may put any further collecting on hold for now. Other than comics, I love Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, as well as the Dune series by Frank Herbert. Of course, in a post such as this, I must not skip over the one book I believe to be the very best, greater even than Lord of the Rings: Alexander Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. No matter who I talk to, if the subject of books comes up, I shall recommend this. For a 1200 page book, it goes by instantly. Pure beauty in the form of text on paper.
That about wraps up my biography. I thank those who read to this point, and wish everyone a good day!
