These, apparently, are my interests.
Interest 1: Grammar. I like to misuse it within the proper circumstances, but generally it should be done right. There is very little in this world sexier than a woman who uses proper grammar. Try it...your man will purr like a walrus.
Interest 2: Food. I like food. It's a beautiful thing ("It is a beautiful thing, Carlucci"). I love to go out to eat, but good food at home is always awesome. The better you can cook (and the more your willingness to cook for me), the better we'll get along.
Interest 3: Friends. Bros before hoes...girls can be bros too, so they're not automatically excluded. You have to have more than one person to enjoy life with (not advocating polygamy, just encouraging people to make friends).
Interest 4: The Great Outdoors. I like to hike, fish, climb, look, smell, sleep, cook, run, etc. outdoors. That's what it's there for, right?
Interest 5: Music. I love music. I like to play any instruments I can get my hands on. I'm okay on some, not so good on others. I like to hear music, or attempts at music (sometimes). Yup.
Interest 6: People. I've been a people watcher. I also like to meet people, hear where they're from, find things in common. Good times.
Interest 7: Big Dogs. Why get a little dog? Guinea Pigs are pretty much the same as Chihuahuas but are cuter. My boy Hercules is half Great Dane, half Rottweiler, weighing in at about 140lb. I've looked into getting one of those dog-carrier-purses (in this case, it would have to be a man-bag) to carry him around in, but Louis Vuitton hasn't gotten back to me...yet.
Interest 8: There are no more, I'm not that multidimensional. Okay, maybe I lied. I like poetry and writing. I just dislike having to write for a specific purpose. I've written a lot of songs and poems, so if you're interested maybe I could share something, but you gotta ask.
Interest 9: World Domination. I know, it sounds so cliche and nerdy, but it's still one of those background fantasies that I inch toward on a semi-daily basis. I'm not looking for an accomplice or sidekick so please, no offers.
Interest 10: I want to get a boat, maybe a couple. I like fishing from boats, I like to kayak and canoe, and I'd like to do some water skiing/wakeboarding. Maybe I should just say water...yeah, I like the water. I like swimming and cliffdiving too, those both fall under the water category.
Interest 11: Movies. It's nice to kick back and curl up on the couch to a movie at night, especially late when you have nothing pressing the following morning. Good company is welcome and enjoyed, but not required.
Interest 12: Karaoke. It started back in May of 2006 one night with a little too much to drink so that I'd actually get on stage, then it turned into a hobby, and eventually an occupation (but still a hobby too). I'll sing pretty much anything...I dig it.
Who would I like to meet? I don't think that's really up to me. That's not why I'm here anyway. I already know people, I'm here to keep up with them a little more than I would be otherwise.
I freakin love music...makes the day more better (yes, more better). I like all kinds of music, and listen to it whenever I'm not thinking too hard about what I'm doing

I like movies...and they like me. I usually like comedies, but I like decent action movies, and anything with good plot and/or character development that maintains interest. Particular movies of interest are as follows:
Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, 40 Year Old Virgin, Grandma's Boy, Boondock Saints, Troy, Braveheart, Tombstone, Gladiator, LOTR (all three), Intolerable Cruelty, Goodfellas (I still haven't seen the Godfather (any of them)), The Shawshank Redemption, Alien (most of them), Canadian Bacon, Indiana Jones (all three), Young Frankenstein, Sahara, Master and Commander, A Knight's Tale, Eurotrip, some of the Batman movies, Employee of the Month (2004), Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, The Four Feathers, Without a Paddle, Evolution, Underworld, So I married an Axe Murderer, Time Line, King Arthur, Tommy Boy, We Were Soldiers, Van Helsing, Punisher, Team America: World Police, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Shaun of the Dead, etc.
My television watching is pretty much comedies exclusively. I watch Comedy Central on occasion, Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, Family Guy, Simpsons, and King of the Hill. I don't watch a lot; but if I do, it's going to be one of these.
I've got oodles of books...technical manuals, laws, studies, all sorts of scientific and mathematical bull jive, etc. Do I read them? No, not really...but somehow it's comforting to know they're there.
