TRAVELING, learning about different cultures and meeting new people, optimism, philosophy, PHOTOGRAPHY, going to concerts (I'm on an "Indie," kick lately), and plays, anything involving Nature, READING, coffee shops, going for l-o-n-g walks, playing TENNIS, movies, art etc. etc. Pretty much anything. :)
I'd like to meet:
Absolutely anyone as long as you don't stalk me. :)
Seriously though, I LOVE meeting new people and while I sadly, DON'T ADD JUST TO ADD, I do my best to respond to every (Appropriate) e-mail that I receive.
People that have a great sense of humor, are OPEN-minded, love a variety of music, love to travel (Whether to a different city or across the globe!) are creative and have no problems enjoying the simple as well as complex pleasures in life will definitely catch my interest. Contrastly, negative, judgemental people can keep browsing, thanks!
-- Finally, my order is based on how often I talk to you OUTSIDE of Myspace. Therefore, you shouldn't be upset if you're not on it. Just get ahold of me and it will change. :)--

Cool Slideshows
Movies:
Anything by Alfred Hitchcock, Arsenic and Old Lace, Garden State, The Motorcyle Diaries, While You Were Sleeping, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Learned one of my fave quotes from it!) Big Fish, Lost In Translation, Finding Forrester, The Sure Thing, The Shawshank Redemption, Little Miss Sunshine, Love Actually, Medicine Man, Dead Poets Society, Shaun of the Dead and LOTS of others...
Television:
CSI, Law and Order, Grey's Anatomy, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Globe Trekker, Six Degrees and a bunch of others that I tend to channel surf through when I'm bored.
Books:
I just started reading, Hubert Selby Jr.'s "Requiem For A Dream," and just finished reading, Samantha Power's, "A Problem From Hell: America and The Age of Genocide." Authors like F Scott Fitzgerald, Milan Kundera and Gabriel Garcia Marquez will always be high on my list of faves. However, my all-time favorite book has to be... "What Dreams May Come," by Richard Matheson.
Heroes:
Just a few of the people that I admire for one reason or another are: Alfred Hitchcock, Vincent Van Gogh (Starry Starry Night means the world to me!) and... probably my grandmother for being as strong and kind as she was despite all odds being against her in life.
