My Interests

Life, people, travel, picture taking, theater....anything that requires creativity. Curling up with a good book, movie or friend, sitting on an outdoor patio having a conversation that lasts long after your drink of choice has ended, simply because you enjoy the company; seeing other people rush through life, expanding my horizons, the dying art of Oral hygiene & run-on sentences.

I'd like to meet:

People I DON'T want to meet: Anyone who thinks they are "Da BoMB" or that I am "so fine," "live near each other," or "want to party sometime." I am tired of hearing from DJs, promoters & musicians who think I should add them, onlt to never ever talk to them.

People I DO want to meet: Someone who gets it...

My nephew. :-)**DING** Met him!
Vincent Cassell & Steve Martin.

Someone who is also tired of people thinking "clever quote here" or "This is my headline" or anything "clever" that is in fact NOT clever for a headline, as everyone is doing it. An original quote headline, now THAT is someone I could grow old with.

*Additionally* Any New kid On The Block- oh wait, I DID!!!

Music:

Incubus, Bon Jovi, David Bowie, Dave Matthews/DMB, Disco, 80's pop, Sinatra, Beatles, Jimmy Buffett, Madonna, U2, Ben Harper, Musicals, Audioslave, Coldplay, Green Day, The Life Aquatic Soundtrack, Josh Groban, Modest Mouse, Prince, Time-Lapse Consortium, Journey, Barry Manilow, Rilo Kiley, Unwritten Law, Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, Aquabats, Reel Big Fish, The Killers, Nina Simone, Tony Lucca, Janis Joplin, Matt Morris, Bette Midler, Cher, Mix cd's made by my sister (who has awesome musical tastes) And anything that I can sing at a karaoke night.

Movies:

My must see movies (because it is impossible tp pick a handful of favorites, as that constantly evolves):

1. Singin' In The Rain

2. Suicide Kings

3. Memento

4. Baseketball

5. Disney's Sleeping Beauty

Television:

Simpsons (Oh yes, I can quote the heck out of it!), Nip/Tuck, LOST, ER, Rescue Me, 24, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, The Office, Project Runway, Top Chef, Gilmore Girls with my momma (Shut it), Iron Chef/I.C. America (Bobby Flay uses wood ALL THE TIME!), Unwrapped, pretty much Food Network in general has been rocking me lately. (Oh I love those Challenged!) Oh! And America's Next Top Model. (That's right, I said it.)

Books:

Favorite Book of 2005: Lamb The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, by Christopher Moore (The man is genius!)

Currently reading: The Time Traveler's Wife recommended by Sun, and so far, I'm liking it. I can see loving it.Currently reading: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (I'm in the homestretch!!)

Heroes:

I have put a lot of thought into this. And I've decided that my true hero, is myself. Because I refuse to be someone everyone expects me to be. I am flawed, I am lost, I am a secret romantic, I don't get it, and I'm okay with all of this.

Plus, the Zamboni creator, and the writer who came up with "You won't eat our meat, but you'll glue with our feet" on The Simpsons.

Pizza, Beer, Sex?

What's wrong with my heart?

In nine hours, on a Sunday, I will be in the gym. Already sweating. There is no good sweat. I hate sweat. Despise it. In fact, I believe that I am allergic to it. And yet, I am beginning to enjoy it. ...
