I've always admired Ann Landers and, were she still alive today, I'd love to meet her. I'd still also really like to meet C.C. DeVille, the guitarist from Poison as it's one of those things that you always want to meet your childhood hero! More than any of those people though, I hope to meet my grandmother and great grandmother again when my time in this life is up. I miss them deeply and hope to see them again.

Recent flicks: Kinky Boots was awesome! And, no it's not some weird sex movie! The Lake House was OK, but then again, I'm biased because I love most anything that has Sandra Bullock in it!I am an avid movie collector and own probably the most impressive collection of romantic comedies of any person around, though I do have a mix of all types in my library. Some of my recent favourites include Must Love Dogs, The Island, Under the Tuscan Sun, Shall We Dance and Something's Gotta Give. Also, I've been a Superman fan since I was a kid, so I love all the Christopher Reeve-era Superman movies. Superman Returns was hard for me when I had such a strong idea about who Superman was from the old movies. In other words, I didn't like it!
My new favourite show is Gene Simmons Family Jewels - I have never watched something that made me laugh out loud during every single episode - nothing funnier than real life! And, if a rock star/chauvinist like Gene Simmons can have a well-adjusted family, there's hope for us all!Since HBO/Movie Central has cancelled many of my favourite shows (Six Feet Under and Sex and the City), I've been watching more reality shows like Dog the Bounty Hunter, Miami Ink and American Chopper. I love game shows and have been told by many who don't like watching it with me anymore that I should go on Wheel of Fortune because I always shout out the puzzle's answer before anyone else. Other game shows I like include Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Family Feud.

I don't know that I'd call them heroes, but there are definitely people in my life who have affected the way I approach life and who have made a distinct impression on me. I loved my maternal grandmother for her loyalty and the special time we spent together when I was a kid. My mother was a hard-working single mother and did her best to bring me up to be a good person, to be honest, fair and to care about other people's feelings and their struggles. I also learned from her how to emphathize and to look beyond what someone does and to discover why. My friend Lynn inspires me because she is so positive and content and has insight and wisdom much beyond her years.
