Hanging out with my daughter, decorating my house, cleaning my house, reading, watching too much baseball. Forcing myself to write, fits of pique, petulance, belly-laughing and shaking my head at stupidity. Arsenal!
Music that doesn't suck. People I've lost track of over the years. Random friends requests are ignored, sorry. Unless you are a truly remarkable human being, and lord knows those are few and far between.
To borrow a very apt phrase, I am not collecting people on here. Most of my list is comprised of people I've met outside of the intardnet and bands. Yes, if you are band I will probably add you unless you are super far removed from my musical interests. If I can't figure out why you're asking to add me or if your list is comprised entirely of scantily-clad women, I will not add you.
If you're thinking perhaps I might want to date/screw/appear on cam with you, you are seriously delusional. I am blissfully MARRIED to the most wonderful man in the world.

Baseball and EPL football. I will watch any sort of countdown show. Seriously, they could count down the top 100 filibusters of all time and I'd watch the whole damn thing.
Howsabout authors instead?
Margaret Atwood, Jeannette Winterson, Michael Chabon, Arturo Perez Reverte, Joyce, Plath, Kierkegaard, anything about the Easter Rebellion. Actually, I'll read just about anything.
Currently sighing heavily every time I look at the stack of writing books on my nightstand.
Chastity the Vampire Assassin. Oh seriously? I dunno, I guess my mom and grandmom. And Margaret Atwood. Moe Tucker, Johnette Napolitano, Exene Cervenka.
I'm totally in love with Jean Cocteau.
