Music and all that it encompases, the east coast, rainy days, funny stories, previews, the smell of seasons changing, movies, metaphors, honesty, taking pictures, Lindor chocolate, knitted slippers, driving alone on a quiet morning, sunrise, fashion magazines, the ocean, childhood memories, new places, old places, scribbling thoughts on paper, the moon and the stars, true friendship, laughter and complete silliness, sisters, adventure, dreaming days aways, the unknown, love, the hope of love...
I could think of a few people.....
RYAN ADAMS - AUGUSTANA - Aqualung - Neko Case - THE COAST -COLDPLAY - ROSE COUSINS - THE DAMNWELLS - Ehren Ebbage - Kathleen Edwards - Feist - DAVID GRAY - Patty Griffin - Sara Groves - Imogen Heap - IN-FLIGHT SAFETY - Iron and Wine - Joshua James - Tyler James - Jars of Clay - Mat Kearney - Justin King - Jennifer Knapp - GREG LASWELL - JOHN MAYER - Matt Mays - Joni Mitchell - Thomas Newman - Jake Newton - Tom Petty the Heartbreakers - Damien Rice - JOHNATHAN RICE - Sufjan Stevens - Sun Kil Moon - THE WEEPIES - KEITH URBAN - Van Morrison - Phil Wickham - WINTERSLEEP - Rachael Yamagata and the list goes onI enjoy a wide variety of music, although I often gravitate towards folk/ americana/ alt rock kind of stuff. Anybody who can really sing, create original melodies, write introspective, poetic lyrics and use interesting combinations of instruments deserves praise in my books.
AMELIE - Before Sunset - Bridget Jones' Diary - Dan in Real Life - Gattaca - Forest Gump - Good Will Hunting - HALF NELSON - Juno - LITTLE WOMEN - LOTR - Martian Child - Sense and Sensibility - The Family Stone - WHEN HARRY MET SALLY - YOU'VE GOT MAIL

A Separate Peace - Circle of Friends - Good Grief - My Sister's Keeper - The Bible - The Kite Runner - Robert Frost poetry, etc, etc....anything that makes you really think, laugh out loud or evokes some kind of emotion (no cheesy romance novels for this girl)
Anybody who follows their heart..........
