I collect foreign coins - especially pre-euro continental, boxes from cultures around the world, and Pins. I'm very interested in religion and philosophy, but choose my own flavor of Wicca / Earth-based spirituality in practice. I love trivia games like Scene It and Trivial Pursuit, and interactive party games like Charades, Taboo, and Pictionary. I love to cook, but I'm not much of a baker.
Old Friends, New friends - Interesting people who can see the forest in spite of the trees... and still not run into one.
Eclectic. Led Zepplin and Mozart. Coldplay and Shania Twain. Beach Boys and Beastie Boys. High brow, low brow, retro and cutting edge. The instrumental has to be clean, and the lyrics inspired. Loud isn't always good, but when it's good, it has to be loud.
I like action adventure, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi movies generally, including all those comic book movies they're churning out lately. I'm not too happy about the remakes, though. Among the originals I think are much better: An Affair to Remember, Psycho, and The King and I.
I don't watch much television, but I TIVO a few things (Heroes, Ellen) I like cooking shows, National Geographic, Bravo and A&E. That 70's show is still good for a laugh and some embarassing memories...
Harry Potter ... yeah, I know. Lord of the Rings ... BEFORE Peter Jackson. FRODO LIVES! Anne McCaffrey Anne Rice Terry Brooks Stephen R. Donaldson Alan Dean Foster Edgar Rice Burroughs and lots of others...
That 17-year old kid in New Orleans that commandeered a school bus, filled it up with Katrina refugees, and drove to Houston - only to be arrested. Rosa Parks - c'mon, any list without her is lame. Ellen DeGeneres - Do you have to ask? The Jamaican Bobsled Team... Ever see Cool Running? Any teenager that goes to their highschool prom with their same-gender partner... WOW! Melissa Etheridge... I wanna come over. Erik Estrada...Hey, it takes balls to ride that CHIPS gig all these years. Patrick Stewart... He's played a starship captain AND a nelly interior designer with an HIV-positive lover. Harvey Fierstein... just because, okay?
