Music:
In general, I like absolutely ANYTHING except rap and country (and no, I do not count Johnny Cash as country). As for specifics, Frank Sinatra is number one, followed by Gwen Stefani, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, P!nk, Madonna, Lisa Loeb, Estero, Chantal Kreviazuk, Etta James, Beth Hart, Regina Spektor, Patti Griffin, Missy Higgins, Leigh Nash, Martha Wainwright, Nikka Costa, Melissa Etheridge, Frou Frou, Ani DiFranco and all the rest of the girls who tell it like it is (I appreciate good solid lyrics any day!) I'm not a man hater, thus proven by my love of everything U2, Green Day, Linkin Park (esp. the album with Jay-Z), Coldplay, System of a Down, Seether, Vertical Horizon, Breaking Benjamin, Staind, Keane, Nickelback, The Killers, Third Eye Blind, Ryan Adams, Goo Goo Dolls, Gorillaz, Jeff Buckley, Aerosmith, OOOOH and Counting Crows!!, and .... you get the idea.
You Are Ani Difranco!
Honest, real, and well liked.
You're not limited by any boundaries.
"And you can call me crazy
But I think you're as lazy as white paint on the wall"
Who's Your Inner Rock Chick?
Your Theme Song is Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf
"I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under"
A total independent spirit, you can't be held down or fenced in.
You crave the feeling of wind on your face... and total freedom.
What's Your Theme Song?
Movies:
I ADORE old movies (Singing in the Rain, Holiday Inn, Casablanca, etc). If I could have one channel and one channel only, it would be TCM. I just think old movies are just so cute! As far as favorite movies go... i LOVE Shawshank Redemption. I could just watch it over and over! It's the same with Life Is Beautiful (yes, subtitles), Dead Poet's Society, and Girl, Interrupted (DAMN, Angelina!!). Anything directed by Baz Luhrman too (LOVE him!). I dig a nice comedy too: Dodgeball, Old School, Zoolander, Ron Burgandy, 40-year old Virgin, etc. Bridget Jones is ALWAYS a pick-me-up. There are a few others here and there (Forrest Gump, Rudy, Pulp Fiction,...) but really i like anything that's not gory, terrifying, or just plain sick. =)
blog
Television:
well, if i HAD cable,.... i am completely obsessed with Law and Order (moreso the original and Criminal Intent...not so much Special Victims). i like any show that involves collecting evidence, putting the pieces together, and solving a case: the Closer, CSI, X-Files, Without a Trace, etc. I've always liked the History Channel too (my dad's a big history buff...guess it rubbed off). A&E has some good stuff too. =)
Books:
"Prince of Tides"---best book i ever read!!, "Harry Potter"--yes all of them because i'm 13 haha, "Ordinary Men"--other best book i ever read (about soldiers under hitler and the changes they went through--going from ordinary men to vicious slaughterers) "Wild at Heart"--a genuinely fresh perspective on God and Man--very good read! (thanks, josh) =)
Heroes:
eh, i haven't seen that show yet... ;)
