I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves singing and playing guitar but mostly people who have a good sense of humor and know how to have a good time. Also cute girls but personality is definately more important than looks. I'd also like to meet the lead singer from the Goo Goo Dolls. I've also always wanted to live back when people where like explorers and stuff and so I'd love to meet Kingsley Holgate and those kinds of adventurer people who love doing extreme stuff. It would be sweet if Shaun White would show me how to do a 1080 also :)

Mostly alternative rock - My favorite band is the Goo Goo Dolls

Movies:

My favorite movie of all time is Forrest Gump. I love comedies and anything that'll make me laugh. The New Guy is also an awesome movie.

Television:

I don't really watch that much television because I'd rather be outside or playing guitar but when I do its mostly MTV or some other music channel. I like Smallville and there's also an older series called Ed (about a lawyer who owned a bowling alley) which I used to watch all the time. It was a kind of feel good show and so thats why I loved it so much.

Books:

I haven't read that many books in the last while because I haven't had much time (but I admit also cos I'm a bit lazy :)). The last book I read was Atonement by Ian McEwan which was a pretty complicated story and took me a long time to read. I did make a New Year's resolution this year to read at least one book every month and I'm afraid its not going to well. I read 1 book in January and I haven't gotten round to Feb or March yet?

Heroes:

I don't really have any famous heroes except for the leadsinger/songwriter of the Goo Goo Dolls because I love his lyrics and it would be awesome to be able to write songs like him. My grampa (who lives in Zimbabwe) is also one because he has a way with words and tells the most awesome captivating stories about his life and I would love to be able to tell stories like him one day.
