music, cultural/political/social histories, certain literature (i'm picky), tattoos, knitting, writing, make up, the art of satire, cold-hearted cynics like myself, linux, my boyfriend Matty, who is smarter than me, funnier than me, but not a better bowler than me... but I still love him.
I'd like to meet:
Kurt Vonnegut.
Music:
himsa, bob marley, peter tosh, anberlin, led zeppelin, david bowie, janis joplin, queen, afi, the donnas, bob dylan, head automatica, queens of the stone age, the banner, mae, the donnas, eagles of death metal, tegan and sarah, lily allen, et cetera.
Movies:
fear and loathing in las vegas, casino, blow, layer cake, goodfellas, anything over-the-top.
Television:
'intervention' on A&E, grey's anatomy... i really have to make a conscious effort to fit television in to my life, because otherwise i'll never watch it.
Books:
'the bone people' by keri hulme, early hemingway novels, 'as i lay dying' by william faulkner, 'the bell jar' by sylvia plath (so tragic), 'brave new world' by aldous huxley, 'cyrano de bergerac' (version francais) by edmond rostand, 'virgin suicides' by jeffrey eugenides, 'dreaming in cuban' by cristina garcia, 'stitch 'n bitch' series, 'flowers for algernon' by daniel keyes, 'the poisonwood bible' by barbara kingsolver, 'the sound and the fury' by faulkner, 'their eyes were watching god' by zora neale hurston, 'long day's journey into night' by eugene o'neill. also, absolutely anything by hunter s. thompson. my standout favourite work of fiction for at least the last five years of my life has been 'the catcher in the rye' by j.d. salinger... but there is always the possibility of something knocking it out of first place, no matter how long it's been there.
Heroes:
No one's really impressing me these days.
