My Interests

Trying to figure out the laws of the universe and how it works, which is a daily task. And currently just trying to enjoy every day as much as I can.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who's a good person with a good story to tell. I love people and love meeting new, interesting and unique people, as long as they are nice and honest, which can be a hard thing to find.

Music:

Currently I'm big on: Josh Ritter, Mason Jennings, James Blunt, KT Tunstall, Rebecca Pronsky, Chris Havrilla, Lauren Hart, Elaine Silver, Rusted Root, Bif Naked, Tom Petty, Dance Hall Crashers, Gypsy Kings, Paul Simon, Pat Benatar, Jimmy Cliff, and Tracy Chapman. But I love all music and am on a kick of trying to find a cool new artist every day!!

Movies:

First Wives Club, Total Recall, A Few Good Men, The Notebook, Legends of the Fall, Love Actually, Pearl Harbor, Crash, and Closer

Television:

24 is my favorite right now, but always a fan of Oprah!

Books:

Currently I'm reading "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Diddion, its an amazing and intense book about death and healing, puts your own life into perspective. I love any book about diseases, especially scary infectious diseases. I also like anything by Lousie Hay, Science of Mind Magazine, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Art of Happiness by the Dali Lama, James Redfield novels: the Celestine Prophecy, the Tenth insight, and the Search for Shambala. In general I love to read, and like to mix it up whether it's Harry Potter or my nerdy science books.

Heroes:

Mother Teresa, The Dali Lama, Ernest Holmes (founder of the science of Mind), and any strong woman in science or medicine who has fought to get where she is. and of course my parents, though they weren't perfect they have shown me many important things about life.
