I'd like to meet:

Positive, energetic people! People who value others, who like to help out in their community. People who are kind, strong and intelligent. Those who believe they can make a difference and that every difference for the better, however small, helps us all.
Also looking for Browncoats of Iowa and Greater Omaha Area Browncoats! SF Fans in general!

Music:

Listen to country, but enjoy all genres--even some Hip Hop. Love Classic Rock, Big Band, and Folk--especially Celtic Folk. Favorite artists include: Taxi Driver, Jason Michael Carroll, Richard Shindell, Trisha Yearwood, Mary Chapin Carpenter, JoDee Messina, Martina McBride, Five for Fighting, Persephone Players, Bedlam Bards.

Movies:

Am on a Nathan Fillion kick: seen "Waitress" twice in two weeks, "Serenity" (just got my 2 DVD Collector's Edition), "Water's Edge", just got Netflix and picking up on my movie watching. ;-) Just watched "Outing Riley" for the second time and it was even better! Where does Mr. Fillion get all that talent??
All time favorite movies include Dead Again, Henry V (the Kenneth Brannagh version), Casablanca, While You Were Sleeping, any Star Wars or Star Trek movies (well, except for the first one and the one Shatner directed).

Television:

If I watch at all, I like Firefly, Star Trek (any variety, although TNG is my favorite), West Wing, Law & Order (again, any variety). I mostly watch Disney Channel with my son. A certain actor of whom I'm a fan got me hooked on "Desperate Housewives," but I know what goes around, comes around. ;-> Looking forward to Castle and Dollhouse when they come out.

Books:

Sci-fi and fantasy, mystery, thriller, historical fiction. Anything readable with an interesting plot, especially anything that can surprise me. I loved "The Software; Virus on Orbis 1." Have you heard Nathan Fillion reading the first 3 chapters on IGN? I'm got hooked and had to read the whole thing. ;-) Seriously though it's a wonderful book (but I swear I heard Nathan reading it to me for the whole rest of the book). Can't wait for the sequel to come out any day now!! ;-) Am rereading my Jack McDevitt collection and acquiring more of the same. Any suggestions for what I should tackle next?

Heroes:

My Mom. My Dad. My son. Those who put others first. Those who are always looking for ways to improve life for everyone. People with the courage to choose what's right instead of what is easy. People with honor and integrity.
Here is a list of my favorite projects. I hope you'll decide to support some or all of them. Please let me know what projects you know of and I'll do what I can:
