museums, politics/political activism, irony, school, driving aimlessly, genuine smiles, movies, neurosis, sociology, music, religion/theology, intensity, psychology, goals (realistic or otherwise), art, theatre, reading (for classes AND pleasure. i love it all), acoustic guitaring, piano playing, learning, traveling (day trips road trips plane trips...i can get by in italian and spanish, and i speak french borderline fluently. i want to see everything).
People who read all of that. People who can teach me new things. People who live life for everything it has to offer and make me laugh until I can’t breathe.
Oh, and my dream man.

I have really strange and terrible taste in movies. It ranges from really girly (The Notebook, Dirty Dancing) to mildly girly (anything John Cusak) to zombie movies (Troma, George Romero). I don't really know how this happened. (Also: Annie Hall, Garden State, When Harry Met Sally, Resident Evil, Rules of Attraction, Evil Dead/2/Army of Darkness, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Pretty Woman, MacArthur Park, To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Finding Nemo, Sixteen Candles, Before Sunrise/Sunset, Cannibal the Musical, Almost Famous). Oh and political/historical films. Yeah, I'm uncool. I know.
Northern Exposure. Sex and the City. Freaks and Geeks. Entertainment television but only with my mother. And there's a good chance I'll marry you if you can find me the entire series of Beverly Hills 90210 on dvd.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Naked Lunch. Man's Search for Meaning. Jane Eyre. Cunt. Catcher in the Rye. The Burn Collector. Slaughterhouse Five. I spent the last, unemployed half of the summer reading for pleasure. It was glorious.
My parents are pretty amazing. Cliche as it sounds, they're everything I could have ever asked for.
