I LOVE a good debate! Especially religions or politics (don't mention the death penalty if you don't have a couple of hours to 'discuss' it!). I also have a TON of conspiracy theories...most of which are on my old blog. Oh, and be sure to ask me about Doomsday 2012 (or click below)!!
I am Kung-Fu Kitty, government trained assasin & I will kick your ass! Meee- OW (You!).
Favorite addictions: Guinness (of course!), Starbucks is a close second. I'm currently forbidden from having ANYthing I love, particularly my Vente, Iced, Non-Fat Caramel Macciato with extra caramel. My doctor is a charbohydrate and sugar ghestapo. Uhhh... what I wouldn't do for one right now... (*Homer Drool*) Otherwise, David's BBQ Sunflower Seeds, Jelly Belly's, men in kilts, all things Irish and CHEESE!!
MY PET PEEVES HAVE MOVED!!! PLEASE VISIT MY BLOG TO VIEW!
I'd like to meet:
All I want in life is a castle of my own in Ireland, a staff to clean it, a dragon, a hot Gerard Butler or Henry Ian Cusick... er, um...a hot GUY with an accent in a kilt, taller than me so I can feel like a girl, and all the horses and dogs I want. Oh, and I want to own a pub down in the village too. Is this really so much to ask??? Hmmm... might be easier to find the dragon than the dream guy!!

CREATE YOUR OWN!
Music:
MY MUSIC: Celtic is by far my favorite, especially Moya (Maire) Brennan, Clannad, U2, Sinead O'Conner, Flogging Molly, Capercaillie, Blackmore's Night, the Cranberries and the Chieftans.
I also like a lot of Folksie music (I was raised in the '70s you know!), but otherwise, I have a really WIDE variety of favorites...eveything from John Denver (YES, really!!) to Marilyn Manson. Sometimes the mellow tunes of Yanni or Jim Brickman.
American-wise (or British!): Fleetwood Mac, Toby Keith, The Police, Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Dido, Blue October, KD Tunstall, DMB, Lisa Loeb, Gwen Stefani, Green Day, Avril Lavigne, Jewel, & Alanis, and a lot of music from the '60s & 70's.
Movies:
MOVIES: I am a movie junkie! An addiction rating right up there with traveling! At last count, I had rated over 1,050 movies on NetFlix. Netflix is a movie-lover's wet dream, along with the 'bible' of movies, IMDB.com.
I'm one of those freaky people who is like a walking movie encyclopedia. A completely useless talent unless I happen to make it onto Jeopardy and every catagory is on movies. Or I happen to be staying with pals Kat and Rich, who may possibly be even more of a movie-geek than I am. MAYBE. Don't tell him. It'll go straight to his head.
Among these talents, I can tell you who the actors are, what else they've been in and I'm a wiz at "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". I can remember movie lines even after watching a movie once. (Isn't there SOME job out there I can use this for??)
Given this "hobby" of mine, it also means that I have seen way too many movies to limit my favorites. I watch all genres and have at least a dozen favorites in each. Its really a mood thing, but I am especially partial to historical dramas, horror and Sci-Fi's, and (as incredible as it may seem since I HATE kids), animated movies such as "Ice Age", "Madagascar" and all the "Shrek"'s.
Among my faves, some of the leaders are still "Tombstone", "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", "Platoon", "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", "Below", "Pitch Black", "The Exorcist", "Elizabeth", "Pride and Prejudice", "Bridget Jones' Diary", the "LotR" and "PotC" Trilogies (of course!), the ORIGINAL "Star Wars" movies, the "Resident Evil" movies, "Underworld", "The Fifth Element", "The Exorcist", "Van Helsing", and of course, all the "Austin Powers" movies! Recently added (I was a comic-book-super-hero late bloomer!) are: The "X-Men" movies, the "Spiderman" movies (only 1 & 2...3 sucked!), "V for Vendetta" and "The Fantastic Four". I do NOT like the new "Superman" movie as it interfere's with a 2 decade love-affair with Christopher Reeves. Irreplaceable.
Being a hot-blooded American movie-lover, I of course have my favorite leading men! Funny, but 4 out of 5 of them are from 'across the pond'. Probably because England and Scotland still know how to crank out those traditional, romantic heroes we love so well. Of course, it could also be those accents!! So, even though the list keeps growing (see the hotties slide show to the right of myspace), the top five never get bumped. In no particular order, they are: Gerard Butler, Ralph Fiennes (I fell for him in his bad-guy roll on "Schindler's List"), Colin Firth (the ULTIMATE romance man!), Hugh Jackman (ok, he's actually Australian!), and Vin Diesel (I admit this one is just lust.. what a body!). I've got some runner-up hotties I adore also such as, Henry Ian Cusick (from "LOST"), Johnny Depp (well, duh!), Christian Bale (just saw him in "Empire of the Sun". He was even cute as a 12-year old!) and Ray Stevenson (I will hate HBO forever for cancelling "ROME"!!!) I'm currently developing a major crush on Jason Statham too. Yummy!
Television:
Click below for some cool "LOST" T-shirts Links:
MY TV: OBVIOUSLY, I'm a HUGE "LOST" fan, which also makes me a HUGE "LOST" conspiracy theorist too! My Thursdays in summer totally suck when the show's on hiatis. By far still my favorite show and I'd rather chew off my right arm than miss an episode! If you want to do some "LOST" MySpace surfing, make sure you check out my 'friends' list. There's many good and dedicated spaces there!
After "LOST", the second fave would be "Battlestar Galactica" (MUCH better than the original!). The others, in no particular order, "The Simpsons", "South Park", and "Rome" (freakin' CANCELLED dammit!!). I can also out-quote anyone in a "Star Trek" marathon. I'm talking the original (and the best). I know nothing about the later knock-offs, but yes, William Shatner did indeed change the world (with a lot of help from the late, great Gene Roddenberry).
Books:
MY BOOKS: My favorite book of all time is still Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". You might notice my dogs are named after key characters (and I had Scout long before Bruce and Demi did!) I'm also very fond of Jane Austin's novels (I visited her home while in England), particularly "Pride and Prejudice".
William Butler Yeats is my favorite poet (visited his grave in Ireland). Otherwise, I mostly read 'trashy' historical, romance novels. What can I say? I have to get my kicks somewhere! My favorite romance authors include Connie Mason, Theresa Medieros, Lynn Kurland and Lisa Kleypas. Someday I'll write my own. I've got the story ideas and the writing skills, I just lack the ability to complete a story! I get going, then get another idea and forget to come back to it! Writer's A.D.D. I guess.
Heroes:
MY HEROES: My Dad and my grandpa - They both passed away in the summer of 2005. Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp. Feminist Victoria Woodhull, a woman 100 years before her time. Sherrif Joe Arpaio (Maricopa County, Phoenix, Az), Bill Shatner, William Butler Yeats, Amy Brown (fairy artist), Thomas Jefferson, Oskar & Emily Schindler (of "Schindler's List" fame) for doing right no matter what, my beloved Marine Corps and ALL our troops (wish I could be over there with you!), and of course Arthur Guinness (creator of the nectar of the gods!) and all my California friends (cause I know all your secrets!).
I tend to root for the underdogs... people who did amazing things to spite small starts (J.L. Kraft, Napoleon Bonaparte, John Denver and others I've already mentioned). Since most of my heroes are now deceased, I'm sort of on a mission to pay respects to them, when possible. So far, I've visited the graves of: John Denver (in Aspen), W.B. Yeats (in Sligo, Ireland), Napoleon Bonaparte (in Paris), Thomas Jefferson (at Montebello, Virgina), and Doc Holiday (in Glenwood Springs, CO). I haven't made it to Edgar Allen Poe's grave in Baltimore, but I did visit his home & museum in Richmond, VA.
