Singing, swimming in the ocean, my family, my friends, entertaining, the beach, bbqs, summer, spring, fall, being silly, working in my garden, karaoke, looking at the stars, good conversation, YMCA camp, having fun, being kind, yoga, sewing, quilting, DIYing, knitting, picking fruit (especially illicitly), listening to music, travel, learning to play the piano, learning new languages (I speak 4 now) and being silly.
I'd like to meet:
People I already know. People who like the things I like. People who care about stuff. Not bands or comics who request me, not webcam girls, and not people who are in this as a popularity contest.
Also, people who might want to buy my stuff... :)

Music:
I like musical music. Yes, that means musicals. Ok, fine, it means mostly musicals. Also, it means anything that isn't just noise, screaming, electro-funk, or annoying. On my ipod, in addition to the 60 or so musicals, you'll find The Andrews Sisters, Ozomatli and Eminem...Oingo Boingo, Norah Jones and Indigo Girls, Alanis Morisette, Lily Allen and Culture Club, Shania Twain, Sublime and Frank Sinatra, Los Pinguos, Fergie and Will Smith. Plus lots more...I am not a music snob, and generally have no idea who sang what...but I like what I like.
Movies:
Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. When Harry Met Sally. Forrest Gump. Steel Magnolias. Sneakers. Mystery, Alaska. Grease 2. Jossie and the Pussycats. Princess Bride. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Boys on the Side. Fried Green Tomatoes. Kill Bill. I didn't like Something About Mary, but loved American Pie. Go figure. Movies that make me laugh, cry, or are smart. Bonus points for all three. I refuse to see another war movie, I don't care how good it is...and I hate It's a Wonderful Life. Deal with it.
Television:
Yes. People who claim otherwise are snobby prats. Shows I have loved are - Buffy, Gilmore Girls, The West Wing, and Six Feet Under. Shows I watch are Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, and Lost. I turn on Food Network while I sew, and I heart my tivo.
Books:
William Goldman and JK Rowling are infinitely talented. I enjoy the writing of Peter Mayle, Amy Tan, Isabel Allende, and the stories of Gregory Maquire. I read ridiculously quickly.
Heroes:
Single mamas; my high school music teacher, Lynne; my friend Lori who kicked cancer's ass and made it look easy, my friend Jen who is my role model for parenting; All the women and people of color who stood up for civil rights and those who continue the fight.
