and did I mention Art & Music?
I'd like to meet:
I'd love to meet more people who are artistic, funny, goofy and brave! Not like 'cliff-diving' kind of brave, but like 'hey, let's try this little dive place in Normal Heights I heard about that's a Szechuan-/-Eastern-Mongolian-Fusion-BBQed-Varment-Buffet-And
-Hooka-House with a waitstaff of interpretive dancers" kind of brave!!
Music:
You name it - I dig it! Everything from ABBA to ZZtop is in My Music and the Now Playing is dictated per situation, event, weather, my mood, a dust-bunny blowing by...
Guarenteed 2 Make Me Wiggle: FUNK!

Wear Protective Gear to Enter if I'm Blasting: Bjork, Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Linkin Park, Ludacris, etc., though seldom is the Haz-Mat warning sign aglow! :)
Movies:
My taste (or lack thereof!) in the cinematic is for comedic masterpieces like Van Wilder, Super Troopers, 50 First Dates, Orgazmo, Emperor's New Groove, Blazing Saddles, Joe Dirt, Young Frankenstein, Tommy Boy, etc. And, of course, I LOVE ALL animated flicks (NOT ANEME) by Pixar, Disney, Nickelodeon, Dreamworks, etc. I can't watch scary movies - I have bad dreams! If I take the time to watch anything, it has to be something to make me fall off the couch laughing or be an immediately intriguing suspense thriller able to grab and hold my attention. I typically haven't the focus to sit and watch an entire --
OH LOOK! SOMETHING SHINY!
Huh? Oh jeez, sorry! Now, what was I talking about?
Television:
What is this "TEE VEE" of which you speak?
Books:
"Books Iz Good." Nope, don't do much reading - cite the lack of focus previously mentioned. When I used to enjoy the crack of bound parchment, it was to enjoy lite reading on human behavioral science, studies on interpersonal relationships & communication, etc. Nowadays, it's literature broken into brief, interesting segments with lots of colorful pictures! :)
HOWEVER, there is ONE BOOK that NO ONE should be without, and it's called "An Incomplete Education" by Judy Jones and William Wilson ISBN:0345295706 (and now there's another with ISBN:0345391373). This massive, hard-cover doorstop is a War & Peace of information broken into powder-room-reader's-length segments. It touches on thousands of topics. To quote part of its cover: "from Quark to Quattrocento...Boswell to Bosnia...the Dreyfus Affair to the Doppler Effect..." etc. It's Interesting Cocktail Party Chit-Chat 101!! GET THIS BOOK!
Heroes:
My heros are my friends. What has been denied me in good fortune by the powers of the universe has been made up ten fold by the amazing people who have become a part of My So-Called Life. I can't thank them enough for being there.
