Music composition, filming, giraffes, botched calligraphy projects, enhanced cornmeal production, hospital beds, water willies, all that junk. Anything covered in fresh llama milk.
People who follow their dreams at all costs.
I've been told I should hate all of the following, but I just can't bring myself to do it:

I'm rather fond of low/no budget live action, and vintage 80's anime. I also like that one where the one person does that impersonation of that one person who is stuck inside the body of that other person, then that crazy person does that whacky thing and they all end up in that one place with that gnarly dude.
Hesse, Salinger, Bukowski, you get the idea. I usually read in the flesh, but sometimes with tan khakis, or, on special occasions, a wool headress drenched in sparkling mineral water.
