I like movies with happy endings. I'll watch sad movies, too, and I admit that many of them are very, very good, but all my favorites are happy. For example: Mansfield Park, Racing with the Moon, Clueless, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Old Yeller...

I'm obsessed with Grey's Anatomy, but apparently so is the rest of the free world. Also, Gilmore Girls, Beauty and the Geek, and America's Next Top Model.
I love books and I would like to write one some day.
