My Interests

Okay, no offense fellow MySpacers, but I'm not here to collect friends like baseball cards. If I don't know you I'm about 99% likely to hit the ol' DENY button. It's not you, it's me. Okay it IS you. ____________________________________________________________ ___________________Now that THAT'S off my chest...It's hard to find something I don't have at least a passing interest in. Space science is a particular facination. And for a person who hates organized religion in any form, I have a strange facination with faith, religion, and how it affects people's lives.

I'd like to meet:

God (if He exists), George Carlin, Neil Armstrong, Harrison Ford, Joss Whedon, Stan Lee, and the Man himself William Shatner

Music:

Strange and varied. Everything from Debbie Gibson to Metallica. From Mozart to AC/DC. From Bon Jovi to John Williams. I can't even pick a favorite genre or song. It varies from minute to minute. ____________________________________________________________ ____________

Movies:

The original Star Wars is the king of all movies. All others bow before it. I also love the Indiana Jones Trilogy, Jaws, Dawn of the Dead (78), any adaption of the novel Dracula, Superman: The Movie, Adventures in Babysitting, Clerks, Die Hard, Heathers, Goodfellas, West Side Story, To Kill a Mockingbird, and way, WAY too many others to list. ____________________________________________________________ ___________________

Television:

OF ALL TIME: Star Trek in all it's many guises, 24, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly. CURRENTLY:Veronica Mars, and (against all my wishes) nuBattlestar Galactica. New additions: Supernatural. Really enjoying this.HATE:All reality TV must die.. width="425" height="350" ..

Books:

With the exception of WALDEN by Henry Thoreau all books rock. I couldn't even start a list, but here's one anyway: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the whole 5 book trilogy), To Kill a Mockingbird, The Wounded Sky, Dune, Dracula, Interview with the Vampire, The Once and Future King, Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, Ender's Game, and anything by the late Octavia Butler.

Heroes:

James T. Kirk, Abraham Lincoln, ALL the astronauts we've lost to tragedy (Virgil "Gus" Ivan Grissom, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF, Edward Higgins White, II, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF, Roger Bruce Chaffee, Lieutenant Commander, USN,Francis R. "Dick" Scobee, its pilot, Michael J. Smith, and its crew, Christa McAuliffe (the first 'Teacher in Space'), Mission Specialists Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith A. Resnick and Ronald E. McNair, along with Payload Specialist Gregory B. Jarvis.Commander Rick D. Husband,Pilot William C. McCool, Payload Specialist Michael P. Anderson, Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla, Mission Specialist David M. Brown, Mission Specialist Laurel B. Clark, Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon, Israel ), Christopher Reeve, and my friend and, Official Coolest Girl Ever, Kelly Dawson (full time teacher, part time bartender, single parent, supports her mother, etc, etc,etc. And STILL usually the life of the party.)
