I am becoming a fanatic about traveling. I've been outside the country twice, to Israel and the Czech Republic. My next overseas trip is going to be next spring/summer (Ireland,England,the Czech Republic, hopefully Uganda and Germany). But besides those huge trips I love getting in the car and going anywhere for any reason...or no reason at all. Yay for roadtrips!
I tried to knit, I can't really paint or anything...and I'm fairly lazy...so not too many traditional hobbies.
Oh, and (yeah, I know I'm a dork)...
I'd like to meet:
Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward, Margaret Mitchell (my role model...best feminist ever and a journalist to boot!), my Great-Aunt Aki (she's the reason my parents got together), and Amelia Collins (my namesake).
Music:
Any and everything...I'm always up for listening to new bands/artists.
Movies:
Well, Gone With the Wind...duh. I like some other classics too: Giant, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Captain Blood, The White Sister, and Pillow Talk. Musicals are the best cause I can sing along (completely out of tune, of course)...Moulin Rouge, Phantom of the Opera, My Fair Lady, and Funny Girl (Omar Sharif, you own my soul). I have to say, I like this fantasy kick...Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia. And, despite the fact that I'm an "adult"...Peter Pan and Alladin.
Television:
Heroes, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, and my guilty pleasure for six years running...Passions.
Books:
Hey look! Gone With the Wind again! But, yes, I have read many other books. Oh, and people who put Cosmo and Vogue in this section lower my belief in human intelligence. I like a lot of classics...the Great Gatsby, A Tale of Two Cities, The Scarlett Letter, and The Virginian.
And after hearing my friends talk about the Wheel of Time series for the past year...I finally started...And books I DON'T LIKE...Faulkner...oh God, never ever again. There is nothing worse than As I Lay Dying. I am ashamed that he is considered a god among southern authors.
Heroes:
People who are genuine and unafraid of what the world will think of them. And my Czech friends....not the natives, the nice normal Baha'i youth at the program. I miss them so much I'm counting down till next year..
