Politics, music(especially Tori Amos and Tori-like artists), art, writing, blogs, meeting new people, reading, collecting sports cards(mostly baseball cards), addicted to myspace, livejournal and facebook.
I'd like to meet:
Well myspace is basically for me to meet new people, all types of people, girl or guy, black or white, gay or straight, i don't care as long as your not an ass,lol. Friendship is my main thing on here, but who knows? You never what might come out of these things.I'd like to meet Tori Amos though, I feel she is one of the great performers, artists, and people to have ever lived. She touches her fans and others with her music and her activism with RAINN (Rape Abuse Incest National Network) which she founded.This video represents why, besides the stuff I just wrote above, I want to meet her. Tori Amos was the first musical guest to perform on David Letterman after the 9/11 attacks. He persisted that she come on the show and she made a considerable effort to be there and perform a beautiful cover of the Tom Waits' song "Time". It is most appropriate for the time and I cry everytime I watch this video... width="425" height="350" ..

My parents, my brother for not caring what people say about him. All the people in the world who don't care what people think about them, who are able to be who they are no matter what. Those men and women risking their lives daily in the Armed Forces, no matter what the war is, or how unjustified a lot of them maybe, they are risking their lives each and everyday. The police forces and firefighters who risk their lives each and everyday as well.Those who are forced to live dual lives by serving for the US military in the closet.Idols would be more so Tori Amos,lol.
