What interests me?! People interest me. I hate boring people. Not that you need to be lively and crazy 100% of the time, but I surround myself with people who make me laugh and know how to have a good time. (If you don't, then I probably won't return your calls.) Overall, I like trying new things and going to new places, but for the most part, I'm kind of a home body. Which yes, I know that's an oxymoron in a way, but it's only a sample of how completely random my personality is.
I'd like to meet people who love life. Yeah it sucks sometimes, trust me, of this I am sure... but it's also this wonderfully beautiful thing that has endless possibilities. I'd like to meet people who know that a bad day does not necessitate a bitchy attitude, people who aren't afraid to apologize when they are wrong, people who know that friendship does not mean having to agree on everything, people who can agree to disagree and people who aren't afraid to be themselves.
Blue October. Their lyrics have more power in them than any other band that I've ever heard of. If you know anything about this band, then you know what I'm talking about. They gave me the strength to be Independently Happy and start making decisions for me, and no one else. And ever since they banged that sense into my head and I've followed that one rule, I've been the happiest I have ever been in my life.
On another note
Music is my life. No I'm not a musician and I don't try to claim that I can sing well (unless it's karaoke night and I've had too much to drink). BUT I love listening to music. More recently I've been introduced to "The Kin". Two amazing men who make beautiful music and are just... well... amazing. If you don't know who they are, you need to figure it out. Talent just pours out of these brothers and to top that... they are both genuinely interesting and friendly people. What more can you ask from them?!
As for the rest of the world of music, I love living in Austin because I'm exposed to it all. So many genre's, so many names... I love them all.
TRANSFORMERS... awesome. I'm a geek, I know.
But on a more serious note... Fight Club and Moulin Rouge... Does that give you any idea how wide of a movie taste I have? I could probably quote the entire movie for both of me. But, don't ask me to, or else you'll regret it. If I haven't seen, it's on my Blockbuster queue. If you think I need to see it and I haven't heard about it... let me know, I'll put it on there!
I rarely watch TV anymore... I never have time to watch anything that requires tuning in at a certain time every day. So if I watch sometime, it's becuase I'm able to watch it online later... But I will always love Friends, I can't get enough of em! I'm an addict for the food channel, always something interesting there. I love the discovery channel, shark week is the best. I love Tornado Alley on the weather channel. Deadliest Catch is always a good show. And any murder mystery show, such as CSI.
I'm a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks and Chuck Palahnuik. Granted they are two extremes. Nicholas Sparks wrote The Notebook, Chuck Palahnuik wrote Fight Club. But when I delved into the rest of their collection, they were just as consistent in their "goodness" as they were with their books that made it to the big screen. And in Chuck's case, probably better!
My mother and my real friends, and most recently... myslef! :-)
