People who have interesting things to say and have the courage or brazenness to say them. People who find it interesting that I like meaning and connections. Open people. People more radical than myself. People just like the people I already am in love with, but in my zip code. People willing to move to my zip code.
dar williams, rufus wainwright, george michael, kris delmhorst, prince, patty griffin, jason myles goss, melissa ferrick, madonna, chris pureka.
Hannah and Her Sisters, Kinsey, The Squid and the Whale, A Fish Called Wanda... I know there are more, but I can never remember movies after I see them. New James Bond, you are a sexy devil.
The West Wing. Sports Night. The new Aaron Sorkin show--it's getting better. A show called Heroes that I bet no one else watches. I can get down with some Cosby Show, too. I'd totally Threes Company if we had good cable.
Love in the Time of Cholera, The Bone People, Poisonwood Bible, Lucky, Trauma and Recovery, The Glass Castle, books about sex, anything by Nancy McWilliams, anything about trauma.
My little sister.
