Music, Books and Travel are the big three in my life. Fortunately all three also figure fairly high on the list of my significant other, who is pretty high on my list of interests as well! ;o) Other interests include my cats, making jewelry (when I have time), geneaology, yoga, tarot, going for walks, organizing and decorating my house, going to record swaps and antique shows, and spending WAY too much time on the computer.
Music:
So many I hardly know where to begin, but here's a sampling from a variety of eras: ABBA, Alan Parsons Project, Alanis Morissette, Andreas Vollenweider, Anna Nalick, Bay City Rollers, Beck, Bee Gees, Billy Joel, Blondie, Bon Jovi, Boston, Bravery, Bread, Brother, Clash, Cranberries, Culture Club, Def Leppard, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Eagles, Eminem, Enigma, Enya, Erasure, Europe, Evanescence, Fiona Apple, Firehouse, Fleetwood Mac, Flogging Molly, Fuel, Frozen Ghost, Gorillaz, Green Day, Heart, HIM, Hooters, Howard Jones, Indigo Girls, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, Killers, Leonard Cohen, Madonna, Matchbox 20, Moody Blues, Nancy Sinatra, No Doubt, Nuclear Valdez, October Project, Paul Young, Pet Shop Boys, Pink, Police, Rasmus, R.E.M., Riverdogs, Rooney, Ryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan, Scissor Sisters, Shakira, Stray Cats, Styx, Tears for Fears, Thompson Twins, U2, Wham!, and many many more…..
Movies:
Pirates of the Caribbean!! Other notable mentions: ET, Star Wars (the original trilogy), Airplane, Gone With The Wind, Lord of the Rings, um...I'm sure I'll think of more later....
Television:
Not much, now that Friends is over. Back when I had time to watch soaps it was General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, and The Bold and The Beautiful. Also Another World and Santa Barbara, but those aren't on anymore, which tells you how long it's been since I watched the soaps! I used to watch Star Trek and all it's progeny - Next Generation was the best - but lately all I'll bother to watch are the music video channels.
Books:
I'm a voracious reader and have my nose in a book at every opportunity. I tend to prefer sci-fi and fantasy, or non-fiction. In the non-fiction arena I'm particularly interested in books on spirituality, psychology, travelogues, or music bios. Otherwise my favorite authors are Robert Jordan, Diana Gabaldon, Terry Goodkind, Piers Anthony, Sharon Green, Anne Rice, J.K Rowling, Bertrice Small, Nora Roberts, Laurel Hamilton...also Shakespeare, John Donne, and other "metaphysical" poets.
