Sometimes I think if everyone hates it, then I'm destined to like it. Ha ha...but in general, Latin Jazz dancing, debate as a bloodsport, music of any kind, Vegas (in limited doses), travel, intense sex, humor of any kind (from high brow to the most un-PC you can imagine), dining, trying to take over the world.
Alexxys Tyler. That woman can make a lot of sense...until she doesn't. I've met the man who knows how to hit the bottom and work the middle; hope to meet others for my friends so they aren't left out.People. I've decided that meeting plants is cool, but I always have to think of things to do, provide transportation, and do all the talking. I think "people" will provide a more equal relationship.That being said-they have to be people who need to really make connections with other people. Not acquire friends to show how many they have, or use this as a platform to further their acquisitions egos.
There isn't enough space in the world to describe what I like. Easier to describe what I don't like: Muzak, Muzak of already bad music (I mean, elevator music of AIR SUPPLY?), country music of the 80's-90's, most polka (except if you're dancing to it, it really is a blast--Octoberfest, nothing more needs to be said), French Pop Music, and intense techno that requires E to enjoy. Everything else is good, even that Sister Hildegarde under the right circumstances
I love movies, the twistier the better either in plot or humor (i.e., Dark City, the Shining, Being There, ANY Monty Python or Mel Brooks, etc.) and I can and do appreciate the genius of many films. But the ones that provide the most guilty enjoyment, that I'll watch over and over, are the cheesiest. If you enjoy the following cheese, in a SFT 2000 way, we'll be just fine: Murder by Death, Clash of the Titans (or ANY of those "hi-tehc" claymation effects films like Sinbad, etc.) , Godzilla (the original Raymond Burr talking and then sound one) and all the spin-offs (gotta love those twins), Airplane, CreepShow, The Beastmaster, The Tingler, Happy Birthday to Me, are you getting it?
When I watch TV, it's mostly for medication, so I go for the funny almost all the time. The Simpsons, SouthPark, Arrested Development, Family Guy (which IS coming back thank you), etc. OR the complete opposite by utterly absorbing History Channel or Discovery Channel (medical forensics, and speech forensics for that matter, rock). I detest almost all the reality shows, and find that their popularity says less about the money-grubbing of tv producers than it does about how the majority of Americans are a little twisted. They might as well put out a show of drive-by accidents.
There is something about print....magical, sacred. I love reading, period. The magic is powerful-people tend to believe what they read, even if it's the same thing as verbalized. Even if it's bad, because my mind still got the work out to imagine it without someone dictating it to me. I could repeat all the classics, many of which I like. I'll go with the more obscure: The Pearl (an anthology of erotic literature done in the form of monthly periodicals at the time covertly written and published by English nobles during the Victorian Era), the Oxford Dictionary (did you know that most of the entries were defined by a madman? Read the book the Professor and the Madman, about this very thing) because once you realize that a madman wrote it, the definitions are fascinating, and so is our language, Old (pre-80's) DC/Marvel comics, Danse Macabre, The Other Sister, uh...this is making my head hurt.
There's a difference between heroes and role models. You wouldn't recognize any of my heroes. As far as roll models: The Pillsbury Doughboy (and his long-suffering wife, Poppy).
