"Interests?" My kids and their father, beyond anything else. Hanging with most of the rest of my family. Writing, blogging, sculpting poetry. Italian Renaissance art. Making memories. Photography, scrapbooking, collages, slideshows, photo DVDs and the like.
I'd like to meet real human beings. People with lives. People who don't depend on anything but their own inner child for their identity. People who aren't so absorbed into their relationships with their significant others that they define themselves in terms of the other person. People who think. People who aren't afraid to express themselves, vocally, artistically and otherwise. ____
That being said ... ____
DON'T add me to friends if we've never communicated before, or if you're promoting your band, self-help book, website, or any of that other garbage. I don't 'collect' friends especially among those I've never talked to before, and I WILL NOT be another bulletin-recipient for you. No offense intended, but in those cases, the application will be denied, no questions asked.
This would be a long list if I tried to list everything. But, here's a sampling: Tori Amos, Lifehouse, Pearl Jam (faves), Train, Nirvana, Five for Fighting, that song 'Possum Kingdom' by the Toadies, Lauryn Hill, Korn, some Disturbed, some Chevelle, most alternative music actually, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Audioslave (ok anything Chris Cornell I love that guy's voice), Bush, Incubus, DMB, Stone Temple Pilots, pretty much all of the alternative music that came out right around in the mid-90s. I also love a selection of dance music too ... "Switch" by Will Smith, "Find Another Woman" by Reina, "Butterfly" by ... shoot, I forget who did that one. Etc. Chris Rock said in one of his stand up comedy shows that everyone loves the music that came out right around the time when they started getting laid. This is true in my case too, and I like most everything since, except where it concerns 'Tom's Diner.' That song sucks. :P
American Idol, CSI, House. That's it. I don't watch TV otherwise, unless it's the occasional episode of Oprah, and the last time I caught that show was before we moved into our house (End of March 2005).
my late father, John, and my dearly loved and missed late aunt, Jane. Both my father and my aunt died within 5 months of each other during my pregnancy with my son, John. (Needless to say that baby's my little miracle for more than one reason, I had to hold myself together "for the baby" and I hate to think what might have happened if that hadn't been the case). I lost both my 'parents' at once, for all intents and purposes. They were everything to me. The two greatest people I've ever known or met in my entire life. Or heard of, for that matter. Until, of course, my fabulous leading man and our two boys, since they are THE awesome. Heh.
