PRIMARY: WHY WE'RE HERE, PURPOSE OF OUR LIVES, WHAT TO DO WHILE HERE...KNOWLEDGE: PHILOSOPHY, SOCIOLOGY, HISTORY...DETAILS: simplicity, discovering and sticking to the basics/foundations/essential things in life (i guess this would be METAPHYSICS!); theories, the abstract, concepts, systems; MUSIC, singing; CONSCIOUSNESS studies/different states of consciousness, spiritual/metaphysical/ethereal/supernatural things, astrology; SURVIVALISM...being "green", being organized, efficiency of time/money/resources, better ways of living/existing/being (physically, behavior, etc); FULFILLMENT, self-actualization/human potential; anything with better/higher energy, balance; EXPERIENCING life by way of the myriad of things in the natural, man-made and spiritual worlds...awareness of myself and other people and the world around me, emotional healing, relationships, trying to get the best view of reality that i can, self-expression, defining things/attention to detail, clothing, exploring, being outdoors, symbols (esp. sacred), time, clocks (astronomical, earth clocks, etc), quotes, color (in an aesthetic and scientific sense).
i am very introverted and absorbed with learning, so that doesn't leave much time for people...i think i have just about all the relationships i can handle. i feel bad about not getting back to people who message me or request to be friends on here, so PLEASE don't take it personally if you don't hear back from me! i just have alot on my plate...

not sure if hero would be the right word, maybe role models. inspiring, self-actualized people, people who care about the current and future states of all existence and take action to improve it, however small. Tori Amos, Yoko Ono, Maynard James Keenan, other musicians and artists, there are probably some that just don't come to mind, and others i haven't even learned about yet; another time. there are so many people who create change for the better in this world...
