I'd like to find some friends with similar interests to me, or even those with completely different interests who can teach me a thing or two. People who are interested in the darker side of life, but can still keep it clean. People who's eyes sparkle...those who are passionate about what they do. I'm also looking for fellow Disneyland fanatics.
My favorite band of all time is Oingo Boingo. Other artists I enjoy are AFI, Stolen Babies, The Winter Sounds, Shakira, Tiger Army, White Stripes, The Cure, VNV Nation, Voltaire, The Cult, Dead Can Dance, DeVotchKa, old Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Kay Kyser Orchestra, Blaqk Audio, Traveling Wilburys, Rod Miller, Elmer Bernstein, They Might Be Giants, Smashing Pumpkins, Firehouse Five Plus Two, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Riders in the Sky, Glen Miller, on and on. I love sea shanties, ragtime piano, dixieland jazz, classical, and organ music. I also love music from the Disney theme parks and Danny Elfman film scores...
I love old movies, I could watch nothing but old movies. Some of my favorites being:
The Best Years of Our Lives,
To Kill a Mockingbird, Little Women (with June Allyson), The Passion of Joan of Arc,
Gone With the Wind, Meet Me in St. Louis,
The King and I,
House of Wax, Cape Fear (with Gregory Peck), anything with the Marx Brothers, James Cagney, Fred and Ginger, Vincent Price, Cary Grant, or Doris Day. Creepy classic horror movies are a must, as well as silent Chaplin films. I love the Star Wars movies, The Dark Knight, Ratatouille, Wall-E, The Nightmare Before Xmas, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, the Harry Potter movies, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spider-Man, Corpse Bride, and Peter Pan (with Jason Isaacs).
Cartoons and documentaries mostly. I enjoy travel shows and I love Mythbusters. Favorite show of all time...I Love Lucy.
I love to read classics and children's books. I collect children's picture books and anything illustrated by Gris Grimly. I'm a Harry Potter addict! I love biographies of old movie stars and I read a lot of books about Walt Disney and Disney stuff in general. My favorite book is Little Women.I am currently reading Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.
My biggest heroes are Walt Disney for following his dreams and making this world a happier place, and Danny Elfman for his wild creativity. Anyone who has the ability to inspire me make me a better person is my hero.
