I love trips of any kind. I like picking people up from the airport. I like taking the train (and I don't mean the El or the Metra. I mean like cross country) I have found that Any kind of trip is enhanced by the people you travel with.
I despise cigarette smoking. Too many of my friends smoke, now. Please quit!
I love/hate ambient light.
I love sitting out doors and reading, or just talking with people. I like going out for coffee, and I think the ideal first date for me would be to go to a bookstore, and compare tastes.
My dream guy would show up at my house randomly to take walks with me. My dream date would be driving out to the country for a few hours just to see the stars.
I'd like to meet:
If you are just looking to add to your online harem, look elsewhere. There are plenty of girls on here somewhere with their boobs hanging out that won't mind being one of your many "friends" of a similar nature, but I am not one of them. I expect respect. Nor do I want to see your naked pictures. Go waste someone elses time with that.
I would love to meet people who love Jesus, travel, coffee, knitting, music, movies, books, and Scandinavia.People who won't become someone they're not in order to please other people. People who don't try to change who I am just to suit their wishes.

Music:
Apparently, I forgot to mention, I HATE country music. Generally, whatever bands my friends are in, I'm a fan, or even a band mom. Mostly Hardcore, though I spent Cornerstone getting back to my Punk roots. Haste The Day, Underoath, Dead To Fall, Theodore, Man Alive, Mercury Radio Theater, College Radio Heroes, Flatfoot 56, Lovedrug, Forever Changed, The Wedding, Sigur Ros, Jeff Buckley, Braquet, etc.And to my everlasting suprise, Bjork.
Movies:
My current favorite movie is You Can't Take It With You. It's just a great movie. I do love the A&E six hour long version of Pride and Prejudice, though. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, LOTR, Star Wars, Snatch, Die Hard, Swingers, The Transporter, Motorcycle Diaries, Amelie, Beyond Borders, Donnie Darko, Ordet, almost anything with Colin Firth in it. Anything by Wes Anderson. Crazy random kung fu movies (Story of Rickie, New Mr. Vampire, Shaolin vs. Lama, Kung Fu Hustle) Westernized Bollywood musicals like Bend It Like Beckham, Bride and Prejudice, and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and too many of the great old classics to count. Pretty much anything with Audrey or Marilyn. Or Amanda Bynes, and yes, I realize that makes me a dork. (actually, my dorkiness makes me a dork, but whatever.)
I don't like horror that I can't laugh at, I don't like psychological thrillers like Arlington Road. It freaks me out.I Heart Samwise!

Heroes:
I'm stealing this from Stuarty, just because he put it so well, "Jesus is my all time hero because He didn't let stuff get in the way of His love for people, He just loved them for who they were."
Deborah in the Bible is one of my heros. Big time leaders came to her for advice. She was running Israel. She had a deep relationship with God, and He blessed her with wisdom. Something I desire greatly. My other hero is another Debbie. Debbie Stoler of Stitch N' Bitch fame.
