I'm sure there are other things too, but these are the big ones: Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, tv, cats, eating, dancing, sleeeeeeeeeeep, eating, music, movies. Yeah, I'm totally repeating what I wrote in the "About Me" section. I'm very uninteresting as you'll find out/know.
Links of interest:
fancy posters
comics
I'd like to meet:
New friends; humans, animals, and cartoons alike. I'd also like to meet my dream job. Seeing as how I have no idea what I want to do, that would be sweet if some job just landed on my lap that was perfect for me. Sweeeeeeet. and of course...
Music:
Most anything with a good beat that doesn't hurt my ears or head. DNB is my first love. It's super chouette. Bandwise, I'm groovin' on (yes, I said groovin' on because I'm awesome like that): Evening Episode , Fiery Furnaces, Jem, k-os, Sloan, Postal Service, The Killers, Tool, Dido, The Cure, Thursday, Hole, Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Bright Eyes, Dashboard Confessional, Stabbing Westward, New Order, DJ Marky, Blackalicious, Garbage, Jimmy Eat World, The Carpenters, Body Jar, Pinback, Elastica, Depeche Mode, Atmosphere, Roni Size, Dresden Dolls, The Sundays, Garbage, Violent Femmes, and lots of other ones I just can't think of right now.
Movies:
NO horror or sappy, squishy, drippy romance movies. Funny movies, movies where things blow-up, movies that make you think, dance movies-even if they totally suck plot wise, i.e. Center Stage, you get the picture.
Favorites that I can think of: Princess Bride, Run Lola Run, The Royal Tenenbaums, Pi, Sleeping Beauty, American Psycho, The Professional, Napoleon Dynamite.
Most recent movie seen: Superbad.
Review: Absolutely freakin' hilarious.
Television:
TV....friend...goooooooooooood....drool...
Favorites: The Simpsons, Law and Order-dun dun, Avatar, The Family Guy, Justice League-the new one on Cartoon Network with Jean and Justice League Unlimited, CSI, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Greg the Bunny, Medical Detectives, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Batman-the dark one previously on Fox...As you can see, I love the criminal investigative shows and the cartoons. Cartoon cartoon! The one show I can't watch is Animal Planet's show that has the SPCA rescues. It's so heart wrenching and makes me cry just about every time I see it. I just discovered UFC on Spike. I need to see about adding more hours in a day so I can watch it all.
Books:
Hmmmmm...if it's not required for school and has a good plot, I'll try it. I'm really not as well versed in literature as I'd like to be. I still have the loftly goal of reading the classics, but who knows if that will ever happen. I'm such a procrastinator.
Favorites:
Shel Silverstein-my family got me a collection of his published works for my birthday. I was so freakin' happy
The Mists of Avalon-there's just something about it I can't help but be enthralled when I read it.
The Jolly Postman-a children's book that transcends any particular age group
Nick Bantock-it's along the same lines of The Jolly Postman where you get to read other people's mail, but it is definitely for adults
Chinese comic books-I get to practice reading Chinese characters while learning more Chinese.
Heroes:
My mommy
She's superwoman. Raised two kids alone while going to school and making the money, excellent nurse, volunteers extra time teaching others about Durable Power of Attorney and end of life issues, and a practicing Buddhist. My mommy is so super, any description I give her won't do her justice. I love my mommy.
Patricia Miranda
Stud wrestler who is ranked second in the world. Went to high school with her, where she was co-captain of the wrestling team. She moved onto to Stanford and I got to see her wrestle against guys 20 pounds heavier than her and other girls at the Aggie Open. I was totally geeked to watch her wrestle in the first Olympics to include female wrestling!
Karen Carlton
She used to be my boss before she moved off to do more good. She used to drive two hours one way from Turlock to Sacramento because of her committment to CARES. She's constantly saving kitties and volunteering her time. I can only hope to be like her when I grow up.
