Running is my hobby - trying to build up my mileage after a bout of ITBS! Music, Music, Music ... alternative religions, Bewitched (yes, the TV show), my computer, raising my kids, traveling (within the confines of long weekends). Learning just about anything!
People ... Talking to people is the best resource for learning. I can find something interesting and educating in everyone I come in contact with. Interaction with anyone is great ... inspiring ... tell me about yourself. And of course if we have something in common ... that would be extra cool!
Old school Alternative - Bauhaus, New Order, REM, 10,000 Maniacs/Natalie Merchant (my goddess), They Might Be Giants, Front 242, SUGAR CUBES, Siouxsie and the Banshees, B-52's, Cocteau Twins ... More recent favorites - Dresden Dolls, System of a Down, Flogging Molly, Authority Zero, Black Eyes Peas, AFI. Old rock favorites - Rush, Cheap Trick. Most of my listening time these days is on XM radio - love the 70's and 80's station. Anything alternative, celtic dance tunes .... a little country here and there ... whatever!!
Anything Johnny Depp has been in (eye candy!!). My all time favorites - The Fifth Element, Dr. Zhivago, Hair - I rarely see a movie I don't enjoy (except the SpongeBob Movie - what a crappy movie!), Napoleon Dynamite, anything quirky ... Anything "different".
Desperate Housewives, Rescue Me and ANYTHING on the History Channel (... I love the new Ice Road Truckers!)
Favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut (R.I.P. - 1922-2007). The Douglas Adams Hitchhiker series. Don't seem to have much time for reading these days, so I read magazines and articles online. (I am also, sadly, addicted to the weekly tabloids, but don't tell anyone.)
Anyone who has gone thru life, seen and done all kinds of things, good and bad and can say on their death bed, "I've had a great life, haven't I?! It sure was a fun ride!"
