someone genuine.
My taste in music is best described as ecclectic... I listen to just about anything (even musicals and the occasional opera), except really twangy country (can't stand it, drives me crazy) and rock groups that scream all the words (i like to understand what i am hearing, though there are some exceptions to this dislike). I listen to mostly rock, especially classic rock, among other things. Oldies are my comfort music... when i am depressed, kearth is the radio station of choice. Recently I have gotton really into Flogging Molly... among others. Just a random (but incomplete) list of bands/singers/groups: Blink-182, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Green Day, Silvertide, the Supremes, Billy Idol, Janice Joplin, Journey, KISS, 3 Dog Night, Styx, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Modest Mouse, Louis Armstrong, Led Zeppelin, the Killers, the Beatles, the Eagles, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, the Cure, the Darkness, Aerosmith, Bad Company, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, etc.
Random listing of favorite movies, in no particular order: Good Will Hunting, The Philadelphia Story, Almost Famous, Dead Poet's Society, The Princess Bride, The Birdcage, Homeward Bound, Shawshank Redemption, Sabrina (the old one, with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, no teenage witches involved), Clueless, A Little Romance, Some Like It Hot, Newsies, Titanic, etc. I love romance, adventure, and underdog-comes-out-on-top stories. For some reason i adore every movie i've seen made from a comic book. I still really like old movies; TCM is one of my favorite channels, though more recently, television has almost completely disappeared from my life (not a bad thing, I assure you).
television? what is that? oh, wait, i think i remember... vague thoughts of a black box... with moving pictures... oh, wow. yeah, i don't have a tv in my room, so i kind of don't watch anything right now beyond the occasional movie. or dead like me... i have the first season on dvd.
Favorite book of all time: Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. I managed not to let studying it in English ruin my love, thank God.
god, i don't know. there are so many people i respect and admire and truely appreciate... but to call them my heroes? i do have some people who i guess are heroes in my life... family, friends, but to attempt to list them all... well, use your imagination, kids.
