I'd like to meet:
Adam Clayton: He's the only U2 member I haven't met. Bono: I only met (and hugged) him briefly in 1987 and handed him a letter (see blog) in 2005. The Edge: He was with Bono in 1987, but he stood off to the side. Larry Mullen Jr.: I got his autograph and a photograph in 2001, but I want some more! Cindy Sheehan (again): After emailing with her, and meeting her once, we decided I'd create and manage her page. Brad Barros: He kindly emailed and hired me to create and manage his page. (See Top Friends below for both Cindy and Da_Goal_Is_Soul--the candles) Oh, and other HSPs and QuirkyAlones, and feminists, particularly male. (I don't know the boys in the video below, but I cannot get enough of watching it!)

The above artists...I either have more than one CD of OR I have one CD that I just love. But there's so much more...like tunes in old movies. Showtunes. Soundtracks. Old jazz or reggae on public radio. Acoustic Sunrise on KFOG or Chill on KLLC/Alice (Sunday mornings). Really love music in general--all genres--my acute sense of hearing demands music. Check out the 100 songs on my Project Playlist (you can listen to all songs on random and/or forward through ones you don't like and/or slide up and down and pick one at a time; click "launch standalone player" to listen to my playlist without remaining on my page):

Television:
Fantasize about following the advice of the bumpersticker "KILL YOUR TELEVISION" (which should probably now say "kill your computer") so I try to keep regular TV to a minimum. Dislike even having cable but have to have it for anything U2. Mute commercials and watch with low volume: Sex and the City reruns, music videos (when I can find them), and self-help programs on public television. For some reason drawn to big "family" shows at times (Family Feud, Supernanny, and reruns of Three's Company, Full House, Good Times, and The Brady Bunch). Watched The Young And The Restless for years but stopped since a videotape lodged in my VCR in early 2005--blessing in disguise. Watched marathons of Laguna Beach (after 90210, Melrose Place, and The O.C., I became somewhat obsessed with SoCal youth), so I'm addicted to The Hills. Where are the reruns!? Still watching Nip/Tuck but not faithfully. Also like My Fair Brady.

Barred from the Bar: A History of Women and the Legal Profession (Women Then-Women Now); any U2; The Woman's Bible; certain self-help; The Dream Book: Symbols for Self-Understanding; 14,000 Things To Be Happy About; A Farewell to Arms; Getting the Love You Want; Uncle John's Bathroom Reader; Life's Little Instruction Book; The Highly Sensitive Person (and five other "HSP" books); The Dance of Anger; Lights Out; Women Who Love Too Much; Skinny Dip; Way of the Peaceful Warrior; The Fine Art of Flirting; anything by Robert Fulghum or Leo Buscaglia; That Takes Ovaries; The Tipping Point; Blink; Growing Up Brady; Subliminal Seduction; The Mismeasure of Woman; Intercultural Competence; Intimate Matters: A History of Sexuality in America; The Erotic Silence of the American Housewife; "Soft Porn" Plays Hardball; Women Who Run with the Wolves; Househusband; The Bridges of Madison County; Lonely Planet travel guides; When God Was A Woman.
Heroes:
Goddess (an archaeologically documented religious figure), Amma the Hindu hugger, female feminists (especially the pioneers and suffragists), male feminists (particularly who know what the term really means and call themselves such), househusbands, Bono, MLK, Erin Brockovich, and my biggest SHE-ro, my mom.
