I am a sociably anti-social homebody workaholic lazybones. The workaholic part requires adjustment, as it's interfering with my naptime.
Reading, cooking, housework avoidance.
People who possess at least a few basic life competencies and a good sense of humor.
I love music. Pop, classical, country, just about anything from the 70's (the music I grew up with). Just nothing that makes me wonder, "wtf is that noise?"
The Princess Bride. The Neverending Story. The Dark Crystal. Wizards. Anything with Muppets. The "Road To" movies with Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Anything with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, but McClintock! most of all (best. fight. scene. ever.). Anything featuring Kate Hepburn. The Indiana Jones movies. The Star Wars movies. The Fifth Element. The Harry Potter movies. Narnia. The Lord of the Rings trilogy movies (how I wish J.R.R. could have seen them). Dogma. So many others, but no heavy dramas or horror flicks. I want to be entertained and enchanted by movies, not brought down or made to have nightmares.
HGTV, Food Network, SciFi TV, Discovery Channel (all of them), History Channel, Biography Channel Travel Channel. Comedy Central, sometimes. The Cartoon Network for Adult Swim.
Yes, of course books. Reading is breathing for me. I'm a full-on fiction addict. My mother once said that I'd read anything that didn't read me first. I adore fantasy--Tolkien, Heinlein, McCaffrey, Pratchett, Adams, Fforde, Rankin, Kay, so many others, and I'm always looking for a new author to try. I enjoy mysteries, from Lawrence Sanders to P.D James to Dick Francis to John D. MacDonald. Ayn Rand. Larry McMurtry. James Michener. Tom Robbins. Carl Hiaasen. Anne Rice. Classic Stephen King (I'm talking "The Shining" and "The Stand"). I like "chick books," too--Janet Evanovich, Maeve Binchy, Rosamund Pilcher, Nora Roberts, the list goes on and on. I have a disturbing habit of finding an author I've not read before, and then gorging myself on their entire published body of work. See my LibraryThing catalogue, if you're interested:
My grandmother. She was, and always will be, the rock in my ever-shifting universe.
