Writing, and Learning to Live (as I want and oughta)
Pip! (as in Philip Pirrip) And... Well, I'm hugely into him at the moment, so I'd say Charles Dickens himself.
I love Modest Mouse! And Kings of Leon!! Others are Beck, Cake, Coldplay, The Dandy Warhols, The Dust Brothers, Gorillaz, The Hives, Interpol, John Mayer, Michael Jackson, The Shins, and The Strokes. Alphabetically speaking.
American Beauty, I Heart Huckabees, Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Waitress, Stardust!, and of course, The Fellowship of the Ring.
Three words: I, LOVE, LOST.
