Name: Kylie Thompson

Age: 18

From: Columbia River High School, Vancouver, Washington

Bio: Howdy, all. I'm Kylie. In the fall I'll be attending Portland State University where I'll be pursuing a degree in International Studies with an emphasis on the Middle East. I love foreign languages (French was my first love), and I'm taking Arabic in college, which excites me greatly. I'm in the process of writing The Great American Novel; when I'm not bashing my head against the keyboard, I'm arguing politics, reading sci-fi, or listening to exhuberant Japanese pop-rock. I'm a Pisces.

What color is your Nalgene or What are you drinking out of?

Radioactive-yellow Nalgene with suggested servings of Sci-Fi printed on the side from Powell's bookstore.

What is your favorite flavor of Gatorade?

Grape. (And my dentist actually asked why my teeth were purple...)

What was your fire quote?

Allumer le feu, allumer le feu.
Et faire danser les diables et les dieux. - Johnny Hallyday

What injuries have you received?

Blisters on my hands, an ant bite on my thigh, really messed-up cuticles. Enough dirt in my ears to grow a garden.

What was your personal project?

I am the webgoddess! I created the website, yo. Ain't it purdy?

What is your definition of "buttload"?

42.

Anything else?

This was my first time away from home on my own, and also the first time I've ever actually tanned.(This tells you how often I venture outside.)
