Friends; parties; fun; concerts; music in its many forms; spiritualism; happiness; balance
Meaningful encounters; meaningless encounters; women of all types, shapes, and sizes
Maintaining youth; squeezing the marrow out of life
PEZ dispensers
Linguistics; anthropology; languages
Sci-fi conventions and the crazy wild parties we throw at them

I hate anything and everything that smacks of reality TV. It exemplifies the worst qualities we possess as humans -- enjoying other people's drama, laughing at them, and somehow making ourselves feel better for it. I think it's the absolute worst idea Americans have ever come up with, except maybe for the USAPATRIOT Act.
I don't read nearly as much as I'd like to: Anne Rice, Dan Brown, Harry Potter Series, etc.
