I'd like to meet:
"Choosing the right friends is a life-or-death matter. I've always considered that possibly my highest talent - recognizing and keeping good friends." - Hunter S. Thompson People who are passionate about their lives and compassionate towards others. Anyone who's up for an adventure. I try to surround myself with people who make me laugh and teach me something new. Life's a lot more fun that way.People with great big knee-slapping laughs, because they make everything seem funnier. Someone who will serenade me with "To Be with You" by Mr. Big. Blanket Jackson. Lloyd Dobler. Jim from The Office. A new Woogs. Pub crawling cohorts. People with big hearts. Boys who wear hoodies and don't cry when I beat them at Tetris. People who make silly faces when I take their picture. People who love getting lots of hugs!!!
And most especially...
Eugene gives me butterflies; can I marry him please?
Music:
I love the bridge of practically every song, even the songs that I hate. Key changes do something funny to my heart. Throw a gospel choir, harmonica or handclaps into the mix and it's an instant favorite.
My very favorites are songs where a million people are banging on drums and yelling in the background and it sounds like a party.

Movies:
Amelie is my all-time favorite, and a close second goes to anything touched by Judd Apatow, Wes Anderson or Cameron Crowe. Beyond that, just read everyone else's list... I mean, you like Goonies, too? No shit?
Here's what I always like and what I want more of: Camps, Cults and Choirs. If you could figure out a way to merge "Wet Hot American Summer" with "The Fighting Temptations" and the Manson Family, I would probably watch it every day.
