My Interests

I have tons of interests. I'm sort of curious about a lot of things, without feeling the need to delve too deeply into most.I've gotten into mental health advocacy, mostly through my job. I really am interested in other people, and the problems they face - it's a good way to get gratitude.I've always liked writing and will someday pick up a pen and begin my masterpiece - that's a lifelong dream.I'm interested in performing on stage, as in comedy or drama. Not enough balls though...Karaoke is as good as that will get, I'm afraid.Probably the weirdest interest I have concerns death and dying. I love cemetaries, and creepy places with "feelings." I'm interested in forensic science, and funeral stuff. I don't know why. Legends and ghosts are cool, but so are real people, and real experiences that happen to regular people every day.

I'd like to meet:

The Thinking Woman's Sex Symbol

Music:

Almost anything, except hip-hop or country. Love 80's New Wave, modern alternative, classic rock.Favorites: Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, The Who, OMD, New Order, The Irish Tenors, Pearl Jam, Glen Miller, Chili Peppers, Cake, Blood Sweat & Tears, Artie Shaw, Bobby Darin, Tom Jones, Joe Cocker, Green Day, Peter Gabriel, Barry White, Ray Charles, Andrea Bocelli, Judy Garland, Benny Goodman, Holy Smoka, More Polka, Psychedelic Furs - told you almost anything!

Movies:

Willy Wonka, of course! Ban the remake! Also love old movies of the 30's and 40's - the cheesy WWII musicals. Mommie Dearest: "Don't f*** with me, fellas!" Born Yesterday, The Women, My Man Godfrey, Citizen Kane, Bridget Jones'Diary, Kitty Foyle

Television:

What Not to Wear, Shear Genius, Tease, How Do I Look?, Workout, Golden Girls, M*A*S*H, Everybody Loves Raymond, Family Guy, Bands Reunited, Celebrity Fit Club, Bugs Bunny, Nancy Grace, Deadliest Catch, Man vs. World, Most Haunted, Dead Famous, Ghost Hunters, The Unexplained, Enigma, Intervention

Books:

The Catcher in the Rye - still a personal favorite - I basically know most of the lines from that book. Salinger just really captured the adolescent heart in that. I like most of the classics, except Dickens. Holy crap! Dickens is what Cliff Notes were invented for! I will admit to reading my share of cornball romance novels too. Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe are the masters, as far as I'm concerned.

Heroes:

Number One hero is my dad. He fought in WWII in Europe and helped liberate the concentration camps. He was also the kindest man I ever knew.My mother is also up there on the list. She had a ton of surgery when she was a teenager, and she lives with chronic pain, but she's just the bravest person in the world. Plus, they were married for almost 50 years, and that is rare in itself.

Coming Back

It's about time.  I finally feel like I'm getting a handle on things.  I'm getting some of my own back, and it feels good.  You can't spell progress without RO.

The Thief

There is a thief that stalks me.  It comes, unbidden, unwanted, usually during the night.  It steals from me things I cannot afford to give.  It leaves me less than I have been, le...

Asking for Prayers

If everyone would just say a prayer for me, that would be swell. I lost my job last week, and I'm sort of down about it, and some other things.  It's only been a little while, but it sucks not do...
