Her passions focus on transmedia, particularly animation and fan cultures. An interesting fact about Lissa is that she once cried on Neil Gaiman. She&#8217;s hoping to do a variety of things in the future, none of which include crying on idols! She dreams of archiving for a comic book publisher; obtaining an MFA in media-writing; learning more about writing for video games, television, film, and comics; and eventually pursuing a PhD in Cinema Studies.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>My favorite movie is <strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxsearchlight.com\/littlemisssunshine\/\">Little Miss Sunshine<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4562 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Little Miss Sunshine\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6-74x55.jpg 74w, http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6-111x83.jpg 111w, http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6-215x161.jpg 215w, http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6-990x743.jpg 990w, http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/little-miss-sunshine_6.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>I never leave the house without <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/pilotpen.us\/brands\/g2\/\">a Pilot G2 pen<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If I had to eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be <strong>Salmon sashimi<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Growing up, I was sure I would be <strong>a writer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>I know every word to the song <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tyLSSKPkyVw\">&#8220;At the Beginning&#8221;<\/a><\/strong> <strong>by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1320\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tyLSSKPkyVw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
