folks that can nerd out on stuff. honesty with yourself is important--i'm working on that one, too. interest and concern, but not fanatacism, for the world around you with occasional to regular action on such concern is a plus.
~~and can we learn to enjoy the small things in life? obviously, there's the big picture and there are a lot of awful things in the world, but there are a lot of good things and people in our lives every day. don't let those beautiful things pass you by.~~ i'm still looking for my succulent and cactus plant mentor. I work in non-profit donor development and i'm interested in finding out more about local orgs that focus on pre-teen/teen girl self-esteem/empowerment project. Something like Girls, INC, Girls on the Run, etc. All helpful information is appreciated. Thanks!

man--i like it all (well... except your band). tee hee.
funny--ha ha and funny--hmmm movies. animated pieces. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (minus the large marge scene--it still freaks me out). stupid 80's "horror" flicks with my dad and sis.
dick van dyke show; Laugh-In. Law&Order (mostly the OG and SVU). Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Pee-Wee's Playhouse always. CSI. Simpsons, Benson reruns. Trying to avoid getting hooked on Lost. I'm sure there are others i am conveniently forgetting right now.
non-fiction is great: an easy read is Stiff. It'll make you want to be an organ donor. i think. reading Richard Russo stuff lately--i enjoyed his short stories better than the novel i read. Reading through puppy/dog books--yes one of them promotes learning Doggish. you know you love it. looking forward to catching up on Mr. Sedaris this summer.
mi abuelita. why did it take so long for me to recognize this? Ya te extrano, abuelita.
