hmmm...well, as far as hobbies and interests go, i enjoy just about anything that allows me to be creative, or challenges me in some way (although i must say that a majority of my life revolves around music). this includes but is not limited to...photography, playing bass guitar and hand percussion, writing, singing, dancing, making compilation cd's, collecting vinyl, acting and theatre, drawing on large surfaces with chalk, shooting pool, tai chi, and, um....turning an entire room into a giant collage...yeah. i'm also excited to say that very soon welding, and working with metal will be added to this list! so...anyone want to teach me how to build my own furniture? pretty please?

there is one show on tv, that i watch religiously is 24. jack bauer is my boyfriend.i'm a big fan of the adult swim shows, like family guy, futurama, aqua teen hunger force, robot chicken, and the venture brothers. i also like comedy central, for it's lovely programming, such as the daily show, the colbert report, the chapelle show, and south park.conan o'brien is the man. otherwise, if i'm watching tv, it's usually something random on the discovery, learning, or history channels. and, as much as i hate it sometimes, for the sake of being informed,i do watch the news.
the hitchikers guide to the galaxy series, skinny legs and all, good omens, many lives many masters, the tao of pooh & the te of piglet...to name a few. i like art books, like alex grey, dali, escher, jk potter, geiger,brian froud, and pretty much anything photography related. i read the thesaurus for fun, and i'm enough of a dork to admit it. i'm also into healing arts/medical books, and charts, and such. currently reading and studying craniosacral therapy (which is rather fascinating, if you like that kind of stuff).
dr. john upledger. he's the father of craniosacral therapy. i am more than eager to learn anything he has to teach. this man has changed my life, and given me hope that i can truly make a difference in the world.other heros include, but are not limited to....henry rollins, jon stewart, albert einstein, alex grey, my husband and my parents.oh, and let me not forget, that since his stunt at the white house correspondence dinner, stephen colbert has weasled his way onto this list as well. if you happened to miss this fabulous piece of television history...here it is.
