I'd like to meet:
.. .. .. .. .i'd like to meet the normal folk. the guy or gal next door...the funny women (carol burnett, betty white, tina fey, amy poehler)....the crazies (what WAS britney thinking?)....those that have truly entertained me (heather locklear, emily blunt, parker posey).. the underdogs (sanjaya and his warpath on american idol, romy and michele, the houston texans football team, etc.) ... you gotta root for the underdog - those people that start with nothing, or have the odds stacked against them - yet they don't give up. (I'm sure the Lifetime Channel's got a movie on right now dealing with the subject...go ahead, check the TV...i'll wait...). i'd like to meet (and thank) the people who use (used) their influential power for 'good' (Princess Diana). and everyone needs a little kylie, timberlake, tony romo (dallas cowboys) and david beckham in their life (of course!).i love the diversity of the new york area and hope to meet as many quality people as possible. age, race, orientation or beliefs just don't matter to me when making friends...it's all about 'comparing notes' and learning about things outside of my comfort zone. i like to listen to the stories, learn about different cultures, beliefs, and upbringing. then i share my stories about growing up in the dirrrty south of Texas (similar to Rose sharing her St Olaf stories on Golden Girls). And yes, silly humor and campy drama will get me everytime.

Television:

Books:
just finished 'magical thinking'....the myth of you and me...the time traveler's wife.....the curious incident of the dog in the night time....the wonder spot...the memory keeper's daughter...the tenth circle...case histories.........
Heroes:
on a one dimensional superficial level, heather locklear rocks. on a personal stronger level, my grandparents - they also rocked.
