Finding a job (Check!). Listening to my friends' problems, music, movies, singing (I should do more of this, I need to find a voice teacher), self-deprecating humor (don't worry though, I'll make fun of you too. But only if I like you.), gay porn, books, food, tiny things, baking (especially with my sqaure jadeite pan [side note: that little green bitch is broken, the gas oven ate her.], it makes everything taste better), chewing gum, removing stray hairs, ugly shoes, fall and winter, striped over-the-knee socks, quarters, the super puppy, Jack (I also apparently love parentheses).
People who are like me- half crazy, but able to function. I think you know who you are.
I like a variety of music. Here are some examples: Azure Ray, Fugazi, Bjork, Cat Power, Damien Rice, Explosions in the Sky, The Decemberists, Andrew Bird, Low, Unwed Sailor, Gillian Welch, Mates of State, Interpol, Bloc Party, Metric, The Swords Project, The Incredible Moses Leroy, Elbow, Sufjan Stevens, Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Astrud Gilberto, Django Reinhardt, Edith Piaf, Patsy Cline, P.J. Harvey, Elvis Costello, Chet Baker, Sarah Vaughn, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram (mostly the duets).
The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Elephant Man, Dancer in the Dark, Muriel's Wedding, Sleepy Hollow, Twin Falls Idaho, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Kill Bill (both volumes), The Changeling, Punchdrunk Love, Blue, Desperado, Blue Velvet, Wings of the Dove, Strictly Ballroom, Signs, Amelie, Elling, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Man Who Wasn't There, Raising Arizona... I've seen a lot of movies- some were really interesting and heartfelt (i.e.: Life is Beautiful) others (i.e.: Boy in the Plastic Bubble- I have this by the way- if anyone wants to borrow it) not so much.
NIGELLA FEASTS, The Office, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Strangers with Candy, Dirty Jobs, Medium, Kids in the Hall, The State, Six Feet Under, Carnivale, Strangers with Candy, pretty much anything on the Animal Planet or Discovery, BBC America, Inside the Actor's Studio. I like shiny things- like a ferret.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Gilded Bat, The Griffin and Sabine Trilogy, The Bad Beginning, Corduroy, Goodnight Moon, Pride and Prejudice, Miss Spider's Tea Party, The Tao of Pooh, anything by David Sedaris.
