I'll warn you now that this is going to be a cliche. I like working out, friends, meeting new people, and lately studying. Don't hold it against me.
Music:
Considering I've only had "it's fun" in this field for the last 2 years I figured it's time to update it. I have enjoyed or currently enjoy: The Cure, The Replacements, Goo Goo Dolls, Third Eye Blind, Filter, Brian W. Spencer, 10,000 Maniacs/Natalie Merchant, The Clash, J-pop (shh!), Siouxsie and the Banshees, Liz Phair, Black Lab, Leona Naess, Better than Ezra, Sister Hazel, Jamiroquai, Johnny Lang, Live, Matthew Sweet, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, The Offspring, Pete Yorn, U2 between 1984 and 1990 and between 1998 and 2001, The All-American Rejects, Gin Blossoms, Smashmouth, Sneakerpimps, Rob Zombie, REM. I find I am mostly into the adult contemporary singer songwriter genre....and once again Brian W. Spencer. P.S. Brian: Midnight, New Years' Eve, 2003 . I *hate* it when people my age list things like "The Beatles" or "The Who"...or any other band which was largely singing in response to the social change of um...a time 4 decades before your births. You weren't there. "Exile on Main Street" by the Rolling Stones means nothing to you. Stop faking it. You wouldn't fake an orgasm.
Movies:
I can never answer these questions when I have to think about them... I guess Go, The Rules of Attraction, The Neverending Story, "the one with Jodie and that girl in a well," D.E.B.s, any James Bond movie, Casino, ANY of the slough of teen-oriented Shakespeare-takeoff late 90s movies like 10 Things I Hate About you, She's All That, Can't Hardly Wait...um.. Clueless, Jawbreaker, Sixteen Candles, 200 Cigarettes, Reality Bites, Empire Records, The People Vs. Larry Flint, um I feel a little embarassed I just mentioned two Courtney Love movies, Kiss the Girls, Muppets take Manhattan, Mannequin, The Sweetest Thing, You Were Never Lovelier, The Fifth Element, Platoon, A Clockwork Orange
Television:
Any incarnation of Degrassi, Ducktales, Cheap Seats, The Nanny...I could barely type that with a straight face, Frasier, Will and Grace, Let's Make a Deal, Las Vegas, The Discovery Channel..
(shhhh) I'm totally a Trekkie too
Books:
Lately it's been my trusty Kaplan review books. That's ...about all I have the time for. Before I decided to sacrifice my life in the pursuit of looking in people's mouths, I enjoyed The Adventures of Augie March, Tom Jones, Gulliver's Travels, The Taming of the Shrew, King Lear, any of the Greek comedies or tragedies by Aristophanes, Euripides, or Aeschylus (shut up), the Satyricon, The Myth of Sisyphus, Invisible Man, Hiroshima or anything else by John Hershey, Slaughterhouse Five, The Age of Reason, the ENTIRE Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire series, The Phantoom Tollbooth, The Iliad and Odyssey, The Epic of Gilgamesh, City of God, St. Augustine's Confessions, Siddhartha. There's like two hundred more but I'm too tired to think of them.
Heroes:
The Tsunami of 2004 and Hurricane Andrew are two personal idols.
