I like dreaming, I hate folding socks. Being outside and active is fun, but there's nothing worse than clipping your fingernails. I like to cook, I despise doing the dishes. I love reading & writing, I don't do math. Of course, I love my cat (even enough to pay for her teeth cleaning, which is more than I've ever spent on my own teeth). I hate stopping to fill up on gas (but I love the smell of being at the pump). I love my friends & family; I hate that I can't travel enough to see them all. I love being a social butterfly, but I hate crowds. I adamantly protect my privacy, but I can hate being alone at times. I love spring, summer, fall and winter. I love movies, books, eggs bennedict, a good cardio workout, plays, wine, beer, music, art, kettle corn, photography, hot showers, dancing, a thinking mind, rummy 500, a good joke, riddles, words, staring contests, my plants, my sense of humor, new things, and space. I hate global warming, evangelists, pretention, velvet, beets, Sheryl Crow, ignorance, logic, bills, nausea, cleaning the bathroom, ingrown hairs, centipedes, imitation strawberry flavor/scent, spider plants, Marmite, big dogs that jump and lick, parasites, February, being hung up on, and staying inside the lines.
You're the kinda...that I wanna...
I don't listen to the radio because I don't have the tolerance for commercials, so I pick up music from wherever in my life it arises. Which is everywhere since music is nostalgic and marks times and events in memory. As such, I'm constantly making a mix - I usually make one a season - that has the songs (that I often get off the subsequent albums I'll purchase) I've encountered along the way. A musical journal of my life, as it were. In short, I have a lot of music. It makes it that much more fun to listen to it on "shuffle" once in a while. Keep your ears open, and don't limit yourself.
Hmmm. Ok, I own: Donnie Darko, The Piano, Braveheart, Elizabeth, Pan's Labyrinth, The Fountain, The Dreamers, Dances with Wolves, Shreck, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Superstar, Corpse Bride, Garden State, The Neverending Story, Sleepy Hollow, Vanilla Sky, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Orlando, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Titus, In the Name of the Father, Aladdin, The Fox and the Hound, Dangerous Liasons, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original), Alice in Wonderland, Six Degrees of Separation, The Wizard of Oz, The Princess Bride, The Lord of the Rings, The Last Time I Committed Suicide, Rushmore, Watership Down, Jane Eyre, Desperately Seeking Susan, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stealing Beauty, Hoosiers, Fame, E.T...does that help?
Again, with no patience for commercials, I am limited to good series out on DVD, but there are a lot of those out there that I haven't seen since I don't watch television. It's a predicament I put myself in...
It'd be easier to browse through the bookshelves at home, and ask me what I thought of any given one. I am an avid reader, and have a difficult time throwing away a book. I have a penchant for lending out a copy, though sometimes you don't get them back, but that's when you think, "pass it on."
They come in many forms.
