Music, being myself, food, talking on the phone (every now and then), crafts, volleyball, badminton, culture studies, Germany, musicology, Furniture Design, Jewelry Design, Ceramics, Metal Sculpture, Computer Graphics, and Photography. Lightning, thunder. Learning about prisons, forensics, the criminal mind, the Amish, trying to understand the meanings of dreams and nightmares, messing with my clothes (bleaching, painting, writing on), and of course CHRIS CORNELL!! OH! Can't forget Curious George.

More like who I highly respect and admire:
I respect and admire The Dying Messiah. He has ALWAYS been there for me. He is an amazing friend, and person in general. He is a survivor of HLHS, and he doesn't let his condition stop him. He keeps a smile on my face, whether or not he's in a smiling mood. Thank you Scratch!
People that stand up for what they believe, freedom fighters, The Black Panther Party, EZLN
children who suffer and stay strong
child advocates in general, CASA...to be more specific
music artists who relay a positive message, and the ones that stay true to themselves...they don't just go along with what's hot.
Jonathan Davis for being the one that wrote the lyrics that matched my feelings. I admire him for going through so much, and giving his all to his fans. I thank him for being there without actually being there. His music has helped me through some tough days.
Chris Cornell, for making amazing music that has gotten me through hard days. For bringing me together with my first boyfriend, my first love...so many memories shared between Michael and me. Memories I don't care to forget. Such beautiful lyrics, such a beautiful voice, such a beautiful person.
Zack de la Rocha, for expanding my vocabulary and my knowledge with his lyrics. For opening my eyes to so many things. For being Zack. He is just one of a kind. So he is highly respected and admired by me.
Besides music artists....I guess music itself COULD be considered a hero...because it has come to my rescue so many times!
