I'd like to meet:

Hmm, In general I like interesting people with an open mind and a good sense of humor. If your talking famous people, I would definitely like to meet: Christina Ricci(I grew up watching her movies, seems like she'd be interesting to talk to) Kurdt Cobain(if he was still alive), Janis Joplin(her attitudes about life blow me away), Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders(my comedic idols).

Music:

I probably have the most eclectic taste in music than anyone you've ever met. I'm just a fan of great music and great musicians, it's that simple! I'm also a HUGE fan of Film Scores and various composers that write music for film, since film scoring is my dream profession : ) Ok, in no particular order, I luv listening to: Nirvana, Kittie, The Distillers, Otep, The Pixies, Mindless Self Indulgence, Crisis, Rage Against The Machine, John Williams, Danny Elfman, Ravel, Beethoven, Tracy Bonham, Fiona Apple, Mahler Strauss, Dvorak, Prokofiev, Beatles, Bhangra Music, Missy Elliot, Timbaland, Janis Joplin, Sheryl Crow, Thomas Newman, Jerry Goldsmith(R.I.P.), Korn, Alanis Morissette, any main-stream HipHop with a whacked-out beat, Pop music in general(the melodies are just so damn catchy), NIN, Prodigy, Tom Waits, System of a Down, Aretha Franklin, Queen, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Primus . . . I'll add more as I think of them : P

Movies:

: P

Television:

I Luuuuuuv British Comedy!!!: Absolutely Fabulous(fav), French & Saunders, The Vicar of Dibly, Monty Python etc... I also LOVE Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Family Guy & South Park!

Books:

I've been reading a lot of Dan Brown lately: "The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, & Deception Point. Not an excellent writer, but interesting none-the-less. I love reading poetic works by William Shakespeare, Edgar Alan Poe, & William Blake. I also like reading anything on conspiracy theories, the Paranormal, Ghosts, Aliens and UFO's, & Interdimensional Travel(weird huh?)

"Men have called me mad, but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence--whether much that is glorious--whether all that is profound--does not spring from disease of thought--from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect. Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night" - Edgar Allen Poe

Heroes:

My Mom(you've gotta give props to your mom), My Dad (because he's finally found what truely make him happy), Kurt Cobain(excellent melodic writer and an amazing performer), Maurice Ravel (THE DOPEST composer and Orchestrator, check out Daphnis and Chloe!) Danny Elfman(arguably one of the most influential film composers of the 20th Century). In general, people, especially women who poses a great deal of strength and knowledge of who they are. People who aren't afraid to venture into the unknown and push the envelope.
