Cars, especially my car, Edgar/Chaos (he has an alter-ego); music (I'm a singer); Objectivism (screw Leonard Peikoff for turning this philosophy into a religion); ninja sauce; tattoos; bulgogi; guns; karaoke machines; Halloween stuff; Asian decor; stealing the cars of asshole ex-boyfriends; Ron Jeremy look-alikes; Elvis impersonators; coffee; wine, though I know almost nothing about it; Mandarin language classes; people who are not dogmatic and uninformed when it comes to politics and everything else; video games; comic books; and I'm sure there's a bunch of other stuff.
Intelligent people; open-minded, never dogmatic, willing to understand reason and logic (rarer than any of you think!). Peter Steele (oooooh, yeah). Tom Waits would make an interesting coffee date. Satan would be cool to have a drink with. Definitely James Randi. I'd also like meeting people who think George Harrison was the best Beatle. If anyone knows the whereabouts of a Myranda Rogers or Gabrielle Holguin, please let me know!
