People who can make me think, every musician on earth... and myself in 20 years.
Music with depth... Not a fan of most pop, rap, country, etc... I'd like to start listening to more Jazz and Blue Grass, but I'm still stuck in my world obsessed with Ani Difranco, Tracy Chapman, Tori Amos, Tegan and Sara, The Murmurs, Skim, Jennifer Johns, Angie Evans, Counting Crows, Edie Brickell, Toshi Reagon, but my CD player is pumping out random mixed C.D.'s that I create...
Every single movie that Woody Allen has done (my favorite being Everyone Says I Love You) Gia, A lot like love, Niagra Niagra, Cider House Rules, Kill Bill 1 & 2, All Over Me, Ma Vie En Rose, Latter Days, The Iron Giant, Doctor Doolittle (The original, not the Eddie Murphy version), The Secret, But I'm a Cheerleader, Say Anything, Chicago, Can't Buy Me Love, Empire Records, Derailed, Children of Men, French Twist, The Quiet Room, and... uh...
Anything that can make me laugh out loud or think... LOST, E.R., Dexter, Grey's Anatomy, Weeds, House, Californication... whatever else has reruns in the middle of my insomnia-induced TV nights. Absolutely no form of reality television.
Anything I can get my brain around... My favorite authors of recent... *E & J Hicks* *Augusten Burroughs* *Barbara Kingsolver* *Wally Lamb* *Bob Smith* *David Sedaris* *Shel Siverstein*
~ My mother above anyone else... she is my inspiration. My family, especially the ones that I wasn't lucky enough to be blood related to... mainly the entire Harris family, and Gertrude Peabody. ~
