My Interests

I love music in almost all forms (country is evil however), and movies, shiny objects, yellow daffodils, Dance Dance Revolution, Water Aerobics with Kelly and Tracy, Skittles, Caffeine Free Mountain Dew, and llamas

I'd like to meet:

people. people are fun.

Music:

Absolutely everything except country. There's about 4 country songs I like, but other than those, it's just no fun.specifically I like Tonic Sol-Fa, corny '90s boy bands, Musicals (Andrew Lloyd Webber is friggin awesome), Gospel stuffs, really random classical music, some recent pop songs but they're so sporadic there's no real way to classify the ones I like, and of course, Veggie Tales: Silly Songs With Larry.Oh where is my hairbrush?....

Movies:

wow, way too many.I like Moulin Rouge, Camp, Newsies, Serenity, Little Miss Sunshine, Mr and Mrs Smith, Ocean's 11 and 12, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Evita, Jekyll and Hyde (with David Hasslehoff of course, lol), A Little Princess, Chasing Liberty, Phantom of the Opera, Life is Beautiful, The Notebook, Chicago, Gattaca, and many many others that I can't think of at the moment

Television:

Friends, Firefly and Gilmore Girls are big favorites. There's more too, but I havn't had much time to watch TV lately... Oh yeah, and watching Friends and Simpsons in Spanish with my host family, that..s great fun for all involved

Books:

Les Miserables, A Little Princess, Peyton Place, The Guardian, Sweet Liar, The Notebook, and lotsa others too

Heroes:

God (doesn't really count as a hero, i kno, but hey it works for me), my mommy, Superman!, Selena, Mary Sue and Gary Dreier (pastors in roch), Emmy Russom (which I'm pretty sure I spelled wrong), Larry Hook (not so much hero as kinda inspiration or something like that), and many others as well
