Daydreamers, writers, poets, dog-lovers, queers and queer-friendlies, beatniks, artists, hippies, coffee drinkers, tea sippers, drama-frees, music enthusiasts, theatre junkies, any lucky bastard that loves their job (fingersnaps if that job is selfless and/or courageous), riot girls and warrior women, drag performers, gamers, cachers, and activists- anyone fighting for a cause, not causing a fight.
People who want to share a little of themselves and leave an imprint everywhere they go.
People who aren't afraid to be themselves in the face of adversity.
Someone who can hold a conversation.
Someone who likes to do things like go to the batting cages, then go to an art musuem and a wine tasting all in the same day.
Someone who can teach me to solve a Rubix cube.
People who believe in taking naps.
People with culture, class, ambition, intelligence.
Someone who colors in the lines but doodles in the margins.
Someone who can impress me or is impressed by me.
People with a little faith and a whole lot of tenderness.
People who are positive and altruistic.
People who didn't just have to look up the word "altruistic".

Television:
I don't really follow any shows religiously except the L Word and usually Nip/Tuck. When I can catch them, I like LINGO and I've Got a Secret on GSN, ER, Law & Order, BBC America...particularly Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and the American version Hell's Kitchen, Grey's Anatomy, Judging Amy, poker games, Family Guy, Futurama, ATHF, and the Simpsons...whatever I feel like.
Books:
"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." -Jorge Luis Borges
I adore reading...I will read almost anything once. And if I like it, I will read it twice.
This book changed my life. No, that's too cliche. This book AFFIRMED my life! "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff...and It's All Small Stuff" by Dr. Richard Carlson. Awesome little handbook on positive thinking and taking control of your life, highly recommended.
I moderate a book club, please let me know if you have suggestions for books!
Heroes:
As far as role models, or people I admire, I would say anyone left out there who believes in continual personal cerebral fulfillment, not indulgence. Thinkers, motivators, people who love and respect themselves too much to become someone else's infringed version of themselves. "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love." - Mother Teresa.
