Reading, reminiscing or contemplating, writing, cinema and theatre, occasionally pubs/clubs, nature and walking/being amid nature, learning through life and experiences. Also computer gaming (Guild Wars, Final Fantasy etc etc), going to poetry open-mic evenings and events, eating in/out, spending time with friends, conversing, watching dvds; the usual and the unusual! I like to keep myself open to all things in life, so it's hard to define answers to this category!!!
People from all walks of life, though to give an idea: qualities I admire are honesty, integrity, passion, diversity, creativity, at least some sense of individuality and identity. People who are true to themselves, and who like to have a good time, but also who have an appreciation of depth. Readers and writers; just other humans at the day's end!!!
Enya, Evanescence, Nobuo Uematsu, Dido, Maire Brennan, Scissor Sisters, Jam & Spoon, Haddaway, Gabrielle, Kin Za Za, to name a few. Enya being the top of my list!!May It Be Video May It Be lyrics - Enya lyrics Enya Music Videos Music Video Codes by VideoCure
The Lord Of The Rings, Final Fantasy Advent Children, Shrek 1&2, Blade 2. The only time I ever walked out of a cinema was part way through Open Water! The title had more plot than the film!!!!
I do not watch tv these days
The Dreamt Sea (edited by my former English tutor, Alan M Kent); The Hobbit (and The Lord Of The Rings) by Tolkien, 84 Charing Cross Road and The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street by Helene Hanff. Currently reading Arthur King Of The Britons by Daniel Mersey.
I admire and respect Enya (including Roma and Nicky Ryan who are part of the Enya phenomenon) for staying true to herself and her goals, pursuing her dream, career and life's wishes, staying true to herself rather than surrendering to the pressures of the media, music industry and all such.
