Dennis Prager - because I think he's very intelligent, but his ideas on happiness are way off. Jesus Christ - because I want to know what he prayed about. My husband as a child - because I hate it that I missed out on this huge part of his life. Benny Hinn - because I'd like to know what he really believes. Hitler - because I'd like to understand if he was really that different from the rest of us. Anyone who's net worth is over 100 million - because we all need more friends.
I know this is the section where you're supposed to list the most obscure bands you've ever liked so you sound artistic - but I'm not. I absolutely love music, so this could be a fairly long list, but I'll abbreviate it. Billy Joel, Queen, Norah Jones, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Elvis, Nichole Nordeman, Bonnie Tyler, Counting Crows, Third Day, The KLF, that should suffice for now. ..
In general: mobster flicks, musicals with unrealistic happy endings, turn of the century romances (tragic and regular), In specific: Little Shop of Horrors, Pride and Prejudice (A&E Version), Clue, Bridget Jones' Diary, The God Father Trilogy, Moulin Rouge, Juno, Shrek, I am Sam.
I love reality shows and I truly think they've made me a better person. Because of them, I now see people in terms of their defense mechanisms and insecurities. They've made me a more compassionate and understanding person. That being said: Wife Swap, Intervention, Trading Spouses, The Apprentice, Black/White, America's Greatest Psychic, Frasier, Boiling Points, and of course the news in an election year. This one's a doosy eh?
Anything written by CS Lewis (is it just me or is that guy a genius?!), Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen, Relativism - Greg Koukl, Anything by Larry Crabb, Atonement Child - Francine Rivers, The New Psycho-Cybernetics - Maxwell Maltz, Love Beyond Reason - Ortberg, Eve's Daughters - Austin, and last but not least - Archie comic books.
To name a hero sounds trite to me, and beside that I can't think of anyone right now. How about I list qualities I admire in anyone? -Objectivity, clarity of thought, intellectual honesty, openness, compassion, logic, creativity, discipline, insightfulness, introspection, humor.
