I'd like to meet:
The Real Deal. If The Real Deal isn't available, then Jordan Catalano (and no, I don't mean Jared Leto, I mean Jordan Catalano, dammit). Also, Norse polytheists. Oh and bassoon players (bassoonists?), hot air balloonists, and other -ists of all varieties. That said, if I don't know you, please send me a message before you send a friend request. Thanks buddy.

Television:
I don't own one, but when I'm at my parents' house I watch more Food Network than is healthy, I'm sure. I love Project Runway, and on the rare occasion that sumo wrestling was on , I would watch that. I do enjoy the sumo wrestling.
Books:
Tom Robbins, Mark Haddon, Walter Moers, Haruki Murakami, Miyuki Miyabe, and Jeffrey Eugenides are my favorite authors right now. My all-time top 5 favorite books would have to be: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths, and Jitterbug Perfume. Honorable mentions to Lillith's Brood by Octavia Butler, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera, Si Phaendin by Kukrit Pramoj, Hawaii by James Michener, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, and The Toughest Indian in the World by Sherman Alexie.
