Social & political activism, volunteer work, reading, creating memories with friends, watching TiVo, seeing movies, sitting my ass in front of the computer to waste my life away, running, traveling, dancing, aviation, chocolate, eating out, language & culture, and finding new interests!
I'd like to meet:
YOU if it's possible to carry on a meaningful conversation. I like talking to open-minded individuals who are motivated or passionate about something in their lives. I also appreciate faith, modesty, sincerity, spunk, originality, and humor. I will not approve strangers without a message first; call me old fashioned (sometimes I am) but I'd like to be your friend before I call you one. That's NOT to say I won't try getting to know you! ;)
Music:
I like a huge mix of types, for instance: rock, pop, alternative, hip-hop, r&b, dance, and choral.
For artists, I appreciate: Maroon 5, Goo Goo Dolls, Mary J Blige, Black Eyed Peas, Sugar Ray, Cake, Lifehouse, Switchfoot, Usher, Nelly, Incubus, Alicia Keys, Rob Thomas, Ryan Cabrera, Five for Fighting, Third Eye Blind, Savage Garden, Creed, Christina Aguilera, Daniel Bedingfield, Matchbox 20, Gavin Degraw, Frankie J, Gwen Stefani, Nikka Costa, and Scissor Sisters to name a few.

I like ALL sorts of movies. It's the best artistic expression. Some favorites I can think of: Garden State, The Incredibles, Full Metal Jacket, Fight Club, Latter Days, The Trip, Saving Private Ryan, In Good Company, Star Wars, K-Pax, James Bond, The Matrix (Series), Fifth Element, Harry Potter, The Patriot, Spanglish.
