With an exasperated sigh, and the rapid blinking of bright blue eyes shadowed behind black rimmed glasses Heather begins her interview with the usual cliché answers to boring questions that everyone has heard time and time again. With her legs crossed at the ankles and dressed comfortably in a hooded sweatshirt and jeans, Heather finally cracks a smile when asked what she wants to do with the rest of her life.
“I have no idea,” she begins with a shrug, “I haven’t even thought that far ahead. I haven’t even thought about dinner tonight or the next week yet.”
The smiles come freely afterward as the reserved and the demure bloom into the vibrant and intelligent Heather.
The oldest of three children, Heather Adcock, divulges that her hometown of Shadygrove, Maryland has been her residence since her birth on March 11, 1991. She enjoys Frostburg weather and smiles while reminiscing about an incident with her friend and a freshman.
“My friend actually crushed a freshman’s dreams by saying it was going to start flurrying in five weeks. The Freshman was mortified,” Heather laughs!
In fact, the farthest place she has ever traveled is Louisiana. Heather’s desire to travel is evident in her excited descriptions of the places she would love to visit in Alaska and Scotland. She is drawn to the beautiful landscapes of both Alaska and Scotland, as well as their rich culture and history.
She reassures herself that her yearning for travel has nothing to do with the fact that she is a Lost fanatic. She watched the show from the beginning, becoming more and more of a fan as the seasons went on. Nonetheless she expresses her displeasure with the finale, which she says left more questions than answers. The laughs come again as she describes her excessive DVD collection.
She says, “I have over 150 DVDs and each of my DVD box sets only count as one. My friends say I have a problem.”
Heather is a self-described geek and dork which she illustrates by her love of Otakon and her hobby of making costumes for Frostburg State University’s resident Furry community.
“Yes, of course I dress up, I am a dork,” she throws in as she describes her Otakon experiences.
Heather’s love of making costumes seemingly stems from her love of animals. She herself has a cat, but her family owns a horse, two dogs, five indoor cats and five outdoor cats. Her rationale is that her family “live[s] in the middle of nowhere, so it’s ok.”
Majoring in English with a concentration in Creative Writing, Heather is just enjoying her life as a third year college student with no immediate plans to choose a set career path. The fact that there is still no decision on a life plan, Heather does not mind. Her belief is that she is still young, and in college, she can decide all these things later and enjoy herself by continuing to do the things she loves.
