I love conversation. Nothing is better than talking with someone then realizing that hours have gone by. I could not live without theater in my life. No matter what's going on, being on stage always makes me feel better. I love reading, even though I never have time to. Music is a huge part of my life. I'm always listening to something or singing in my free time- sometimes it's both. I enjoy mind-altering substances. They make me feel good- but I try not to let them substitute for real happiness, ideally they compliment it.
I'd like to meet:
Anyone with half a brain and an open mind. That's a great place to start. I love meeting new people, though I'm always shy at first. People who share common interests (theater, music, etc.) always get the benefit of the doubt. I would also love to meet someone who can teach me new things.
Someone who is tired of the hurt and anguish of thinking they've found someone great only to be disappointed again and again. I'm sick off the bullshit and the lies. I want someone genuine in my life. Someone I can call and ask to pick up milk on their way over to my place, or someone I can use as a footrest without complaint. Down to earth, honest, able to carry conversation...am I reaching for the stars here?View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
Music:
Anything I can relate to, really. Rap is probably my least favorite, although sometimes a good rap song does it for me.
A Fine Frenzy, The Dixie Chicks, Sublime, No Doubt, Rooney, My Chemical Romance, Carrie Underwood, The Plain White Tee's, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, Martina McBride, Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Green Day, Sum 41, Amy Winehouse, Counting Crows, Good Charlotte, Edwin McCain, Colbie Callait, The Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Evanescence, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, John Mayer, Alanis Morisette, Jewel...and so much more. Anything that speaks to me on a personal level is my "favorite song." I also enjoy frivolous music that makes me feel silly. Yes, I have been caught listening to Britney Spears and Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" always makes me jump up and thrash about like a silly person.
Broadway is such a big influence in my life that Musical Soundtracks get their own paragraph.
Wicked, Urinetown, Guys and Dolls, Into the Woods, Cabaret, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Oklahoma!, Kiss Me, Kate, The Phantom of the Opera, Candide, Assassins, Annie Get Your Gun, Aida, Hairspray, Avenue Q, Brooklyn, Chicago, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Grease, Les Miserables, Little Women, RENT, Throughly Modern Millie, and a few more.

Most anything that makes me laugh or validates my rose-tinted point-of-view.
Television:
I don't really watch much television, but when I do I like The Girls Next Door, American Idol, The Golden Girls, The Nanny, Friends, The OC...and that's about it. Oh, and the History Channel is dangerous. Once I turn it on it's hard to turn off.

Realism is god. French Neoclassicism is a Demi-god.
Heroes:
Anyone who has followed their dream and made damn sure it came true or anyone who has sacrificed their own happiness to ensure someone else's is a hero in my eyes.
