Music:

1. Aerosmith is the greatest band in existence. Period. I adore them with every fiber of my being and, I swear to God, I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for them. I love them more than words can say. As of the 2007 new year I have been to five concerts and plan on going to many more.
**********
I have two more bands that I include in the ranks of "Favorite Band(s)," although obviously Aerosmith takes first reign. The Dresden Dolls, angels in my eyes, are amazing and they inspire me so much. Third and definately not least is Train. I can't believe I've forgotten about them up until now, I seriously thought I had something up here about how much I love them! I've been a huge fan since the age of about fourteen, when I first heard "Meet Virginia" on VH1's Top 20 and thought, "Good God, my name's in a song! And it's in the Top 20!" Two years later, when I met my now ex-fiance, it was Train's music we usually talked about (when it came to music, that is), since they were one of his favorite band's, as well (although he was in love with the Doors like I am in love with Aerosmith). Our song was Drops of Jupiter, even. :) Train's music has such an other-worldly quality about it I've seldom seen in other bands, a sweetly innocent yet brutal honesty about it all that, along w/ Patrick Monahan's incredible voice, makes my heart melt every time.
I also love to listen to Rob Dougan, Paul Simon, Celtic Woman, the Scissor Sisters, Imogen Heap, Queen, Beach Boys, Moby, Frank Sinatra, Peter Gabriel, 30 Seconds to Mars, Coldplay, Creature Feature, Regina Spektor, Interpol, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong.... basically rock'n'roll's my favorite, although I also ADORE dixieland jazz, like Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, etc. I also love classical music. Beethoven is my favorite composer. My two favorite songs of all time are "When You Wish Upon A Star" (from Pinnochio) and "Music of the Night," from the Phantom of the Opera.
Aerosmith - Beyond Beautiful

Movies:

My absolute favorite actor in the existence of movies is Gary Oldman. I've been in love with the guy since I was fourteen. It's amazing how much of a chameleon he is; he can play any character, any role. One of my favorite roles he's done was in Dracula; he even played my favorite character in the Harry Potter movies, Sirius Black!
My other favorite actors are Johnny Depp and Edward Norton. I've been a die-hard Johnny fan ever since the first time I saw him in Edward Scissorhands-- I was five! :) And as far as my darling Edward Norton is concerned, my dear friend Jamie and I think along the same lines as one another: "Edward and I are going to be married. We watched 'The Illusionist' (favorite movie ever) and 'Painted Veil.' It was like porn." :D
Aah, Gary, Johnny and Edward..... what else could a girl ask for?

Television:

Lost, 24, the 4400, XFiles, Forensic/ Cold Case Files, Crossing Jordan, Scrubs, NYPD Blue, Crocodile Hunter, Quantum Leap, Ghost Hunters, The Simpsons, Reno 911, Seinfeld, King of the Hill, Law and Order (all three o' them)
I'm also a HUUUGE fan of So You Think You Can Dance. Which is weird, 'cos up until about a year ago, when my stepmom got me into it, I hated reality TV. Matter of fact, I still do. This is the only reality show I'll watch. :) FOr those who are tuned in, my bets are on either Lacey or Sabra winning the whole thing, although, frankly, every one of them now is friggin' amazing. I also am madly in love w/ Pasha, and even went as far as dreaming about him recently, in which we were married and he got me into the show to see him dance. :D Tee hee hee. What? I have a thing for foreigners..... especially if they can dance..... :D LOL

"GLORIA!! Betty, Betty, Betty Betty Betty Betty Betty. Say! That was some real Nancy Drew stuff there, .......... Nancy. Priscilla, I honestly thought, on my mother's grave, that your real name was Carrol."

Wade Robson is a GENIUS.

Books:

"The simplicity of uneven black on faded white is enough to ignite the soul and dare the brush to keep pace. Pages worn, edges torn, as cared for as the broken spine of the stories we know all too well, we cling to them like child to mother, looking to them for guidance and shelter from the storm outside. It is within the arms of those pages we find peace."
Inspired by Hokuto Konishi

**MUSIC: "Ordinary" by Train**
**********
Favorite books ever are the Harry Potter series. :D
"Mary Reilly" by Valerie Martin, "Sphere" by Michael Chriton (the movie is a worthless piece of s**t, DO NOT SEE IT), "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson, "Where the Heart Is" by Billie Letts, "The Three Musketeers" by Andre Dumas, "Tommy's Tale" by Alan Cumming, "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott, the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling

Heroes:

"My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb, and all I remember is thinking, 'I wanna be like them.....'"
~~Gnarles Barkley, 'Crazy'

One of my biggest inspirations in life, for about ten or more years now, has been Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. He and his selfless love for Mother Earth's creatures are two of God's greatest gifts to the world, in my honest opinion. He loved his animals so much, all he wanted to do was tell the world how beautiful they were, and if the world were filled with more Steve Irwins, it would be perfect. I miss him more than you could ever imagine.........

Steve Irwin, my step-mother's mom (Dorothy Cavanaugh), Anne Frank, Elie Weisel, Walt Disney, *Hokuto Konishi, *Jaimie Goodwin, *Pasha Kovalev, *Sara VonGillern, *Sabra Johnson, Katherine Hepburn, the boys of Aerosmith, Gary Oldman, Amanda Palmer, Brian Viglione, Johnny Depp and Alan Cumming.
