Laughing, comedy, zines, independent publishing, Adidas sneakers, wristwatches, fake moustaches, Hefty bags full of money and/or white cloth bags (with giant dollar signs printed on them) full of money, hot prematurely grey-haired dudes, guys in Brooks Brothers button-down shirts with the sleeves rolled up exposing their watch and showing that they're busy/hardworking (think Jason Bateman during most of "Arrested Development"), impromptu dance parties, red velvet cake, full mailboxes, Yankee candles, comfortable and well-fitting bras, eating, manners, nice handwriting, introducing myself to strangers, getting super pumped about stuff, trying to remember to think before I talk, and CONSTANTLY LAUGHING ALWAYS.
Stuff I Am Not Interested In: Most cats (not all, but most), pictures of your cats (unless they are dressed up in human clothes), anything to do with underwater/scuba diving/marine life, anything to do with space/space travel/possible life on other planets, camping, Bono/U2, the Civil War (those ghosts are the scariest/most pissed off ghosts in history), how much you dislike popular and well-liked things just to be contrary, Tori Amos, and little else.
Morrissey (accomplished!), Anderson Cooper (also accomplished, see above!), Bill Hicks (when bringing people back from the dead is scientifically possible - should be pretty soon, right?), Ricky Gervais, Banksy, Zack Morris, Edwyn Collins circa 1982, all of my pen pals/zine bros, YOU!
Also people who don't automatically equate "Southern" with "redneck," "racist," or "illiterate toothless yokel." Even in this progressive space year 2007 there seems to be a surprisingly small number of them.
ALSO: G. Clooney. Where he stay at?
ALSO x 2: Alec Baldwin. Don't get it twisted, dude is smoove.

For all zero of you that are curious, here are some of my favorite albums of all time:
All the ones that don't have Kevin Costner and/or Julia Roberts as part of the cast.
"Anderson Cooper 360" (basically my version of porn), "The Mighty Boosh," "30 Rock," and Quacker Factory on QVC. (Also anything with Bob Odenkirk and/or David Cross, DUHHH.)
The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde because, duh, I'm a Morrissey fan.
Anyone who helps anyone else out in any way they can. Tony Benn. Billy Bragg. Any and all optimists. People who share.
