i believe a person's most important interests are their guilty pleasures. they reveal alot about someone... if they're willing to tell you! so, in the interest of full disclosure, here are mine:playgrounds--especially the swings, making insane sundaes with as many toppings as i can handle, going all out in dressing up for Halloween, my current gay crush Rosario Dawson, writing poetry that i tell myself noone will ever see... but making it fabulous and readable anyway--just in case, 80's music--the uber cheesy kind, dancing like a fool (or a monkey)--when its called for at parties, church functions, ect., anything to do with Flavor of Love, toad hunting, leather (i'll leave that to your imaginations ;), over using smiley expressions to get my damn point across :o !, crocheting, procrastination, romantic comedies (with quirks; a la A Life Less Ordinary), Dashboard Confessional, spouting off on issues of the day to noone inparticular, spouting off on issues of the day to anyone who will listen :D, shopping at discount stores, saying words of other languages with a big superflourishing accent because its more fun that way, laughing at music/"scene" nazis, putting tabasco sauce on EVERYTHING, watching my bunny Harry (aka "Dirty Harry", Harry Houdini", "Harry & the Hendersons", and "Harry barry White") hump various stuffed toys, humor of a suggestive and questionable nature, pretty much all of the Headline News channel (not including glenn beck--he is what i term an "innocent pleasure") craig david and his wonderful ass, fast food of any type, rocking out in my underwear to "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" by Van Halen, drinking by myself, playing the Golden Girls trivia quiz on Lifetime.com while i'm at work, and finally (all together now!).....MYSPACE :D
I'd like to meet:
IN A PERFECT WORLD WHERE ALL IS RIGHT AND GOOD: the person/people who can provide me with enough financial security and freedom that i will be able to fulfill my life's purpose through vocational destiny. and She-Ra.IN REAL LIFE: anyone cool. C'mon down! or up! depending on where you are! ****especially if you can help me learn Farsi to native speaker level. that would be most appreciated (man be komak ehteeyaj daram!).and Mustapha/Mufasa, if you're out there- thanks for the wicked night of pool at Molly's II man!! Turkish VERY GOOD ;)
Music:
You are emo. But the GOOD kind of emo. The kind
that makes you want to slit your wrists in
anguish, then go on a stabbing spree with
everyone who's done you wrong as the victims.
You are emo-core.
Are You Emo?
brought to you by Quizillaalright, let's just say my tastes are many and reeeeeeaaally varied ;)
*as you can see, the stuff i like is mostly not popular enough to be mainstream but more than three people know about each of these artists so they're all way too popular to give me any kind of uberhip indie street cred. well, poop.
Your Musical Tastes Match: Nicole Kidman
See her whole playlist here (iTunes required) What Celebrity Matches Your Taste in Music?
Movies:
R. Kelly's "Trapped In the Closet", every single Charlie Brown special ever made, and that tape i made with my secret lover Samuel mutha L fuckin' Jackson.
mostly, i enjoy anything graphically violent and/or sexual, or hilariously funny- and that includes Oliver & Company. Eddie Izzard-Dress to Kill, and Eddie Murphy-Raw: not "movies" per se, but they're both over an hour long and brilliant so in my world they count!
Television:
Two words: "Nip/Tuck" (or is it one word because of the slash?)
then comes "Drawn Together", "Rescue Me", "All in the Family", "Everyday Italian", "Law & Order: SVU", "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia", "Friends", "Sanford & Son", "Intervention", "Gilmore Girls", "The Office" (U.S. version; as of now have never seen the UK one, though i'm willing to bet its great too), "Best Week Ever", "Family Guy", "3rd Rock From the Sun", "GOLDEN GIRLS", "Curious George", and "Everybody Loves Raymond". And once "Pirates of Dark Water", "Daria", "Strip Mall", and "Animaniacs" come out on DVD, i can guarantee, in front of the TV, that's where i'll be, when i'm not by the sea, disliking peas. What?? i also feel "Charm School" had much more redeeming value than pretty much anything else on VH1, so of course i was sucked into it
Books:
"A Clockwork Orange" (movie is good as well!), "Infidel", "America Alone: the End Of The World as We Know It", "Prayers for the Assassin", "The Rage and the Pride", "You, Inc.", "The West's Last Chance", "The End of Time", "After the Death of Anna Gonzales", "What's So Great About America?", "Frida", "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories", "The Anti-Chomsky Reader", "Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda", "The Case For Democracy", "Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson", "Conquering Your Quarterlife Crisis", "While Europe Slept", "The End of Faith", "The Why Cafe", almost anything by Stephen King and Ann Rice, my text book from the Intro to Ethics class i took freshman year to satisfy my philosophy reqs, and "Tuesdays With Morrie" (yes. literary emo. what of it?)
Heroes:
"I make no apologies for my present position. My values have not changed, but my sense of what supports them and makes them possible has. It was what I thought was the humanity of the Marxist idea that made me what I was; it was the inhumanity of what I have seen to be the Marxist reality that has made me what I am." -David Horowitz."I did my best!!" -Dane Cook."VIVA LA VIDA" -Frida Kahlo."It is sweet to serve one's country by deeds, and it is not absurd to serve her by words" -Sallust."I am very, very, very angry. Angry with a rage which is cold, lucid, rational. A rage which eliminates any detachment, any indulgence, which orders me to answer them and to spit in their face. I spit in their face" -Oriana Fallaci"Now THAT"S comedy" -Slappy the Squirrel."Its good to shut up sometimes" -Marcel Marceau.
