It would take page after page just to begin to list all my interests, but here is a somewhat truncated list:ANIMALS! CREATURES! If it lives and moves I'm into it. I particularly adore squirrels, monkeys, seahorses, octopii, owls, foxes, reptiles, & insects.MUSIC! I LIKE to listen, but LOVE to play. I probably devote more time to the fiddle/violin and the pedal harp these days than any other instruments, but I also enjoy messing around with my Hello Kitty electric axe (thanks Doodle!), the piano, and the bass guitar.PHILOSOPHY & THEOLOGY! Can't read enough on these subjects. I enjoy discussing these with others, especially if the discussors happen to be reasonably well-versed, (and not JUST argumentative in nature)... ASTROPHYSICS (including theoretical)! Thankfully I have a rocket-scientist brother-in-law who has helped me cultivate this fascination.FOREIGN LANGUAGES! I know bits and pieces of six foreign tongues, and continue to study Danish (the language of my ancestors) and French. Dansk er dejlig! Français, c'est magnifique.HELLO KITTY! I have HK clothes, stationery, stickers, an HK Fender electric, etc. etc. etc. Next I wanna get the HK toaster.
Anyone who loves animals, music, philosopy...

I Love watching old Little Rascals and Three Stooges episodes. Svengoolie is fabulously fun (and perfect for punsters). I'm still enjoying re-runs of Seinfeld and, more recently, Everybody Loves Raymond. Babylon 5 was good...still like watching the re-runs. Ren and Stimpy! SpongeBob Squarepants! King of the Hill is laugh-out-loud for me because I happen to know everyone in the cast!!! MST3K is terrific, too. For a short while I got into Smallville. CSI: Miami has been interesting... Lost and Heroes have been downright intriguing.
The Bible, C.S. Lewis' books (both fiction and non-fiction), Douglas' Adams' trilogy, G.K. Chesterton's books, Tolkien, George MacDonald, Francis Schaeffer's books; Far Side, Foxtrot, Peanuts, and Matt Groening collections, almost anything on theoretical physics, Zippy the Pinhead comix
GOD--Jesus Christ, my parents, my siblings, my husband, and K. Lee--these are the heroes I know personally. Additionally, Christian martyrs, and our armed forces.
