Genuine people who love life, have a sense of adventure and a compassionate nature. Children of Light. Saints and shamans. Hippies and poets, fellow Trail of Dead fans. Musicians and munchkins. People who like a good laugh but also have a concern for the state of the world. People who love all races, treat animals kindly, and take action toward social injustice. And last but not least....my relatives on the other side.People I DON'T want to meet: Liars, cheats, warmongers, dark spirits, mean spirited people, selfish greedy people, arrogant or intolerant people, snobs, ignorameses, and smellies.

And independent movies. I know I'm missing a lot but I can't remember the names of most of them. I also like the Life channel movies based on real stories.
Oh yes! When I have days off work and feel lazy I spend the day watching reality court shows! I love the Eastenders, All My Children, South Park, Family Guy, Friends, Seinfeld, Simpsons, Everyone Loves Raymond, King of Queens, and Jerry Springer, to name a few. And stupid reality shows such as My Big Fat Husband, Blind Date, Elimidate, ans stuff. Aren't I just the intellectual? Of course, I love the science and history channel, nature programs, shows about musicians, and British tele (so I can get homesick.) i.e. The Young Ones, Absolutely Fabulous, Fawlty Towers, etc. To anyone who says tele is a waste of time, I say, get a life. Ha ha. Just kidding. But honestly, I do learn a lot from certain programs, and it's a great stress reliever. When I'm alone I have conversations with it. I can't imagine life without tv. *Update for Wil Forbis: Nova, Globe Trekker, National Geographic, Storm Stories, Worlds Apart, okay okay? I only have three channels at the moment..... waaaa
I'm an avid reader who will read anything of interest that I can get my hands on. Authors I hold in my heart:The Chronicles of Narnia; James Joyce, Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas, Conrad Keely, Agatha Christie, Tolkien, Charlotte Bronte, John Steinbeck, more to come. Books in no particular order: Lord of the Rings trilogy, Silas Marner by George Eliot, Watership Down, Jane Eyre, Autobiography of a Geisha; The Cure for Death by Lightening by Gail-Anderson-Dargatz, His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman, Wind in the Willows, White Fang by Jack London, A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, the Essence Gospels of Peace and From Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls compiled by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely. I also love biographies and autobiographies, especially of musicians, easy to read history books with pictures in 'em, stuff about neuroscience, I could go on forever but gotta go...
