I love reading, sewing, ghost hunting, spiritual enlightenment, art, MUSIC, gardening, dancing, travelling, and a sense of community.
I'd like to meet:
George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Michael Nesmith, Douglas Adams, Jimmy Buffett, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Einstein, and Jesus. Of course, I'm not sure I'd REALLY like to meet them because if I were to meet any of these people in person (which might be a bit surreal in some cases since some of them are dead) the whole social thing would get in the way. You know..."Hi. Nice to meet ya'. How are the wife and kiddies?", etc. Then there would be me getting all shy and nervous about meeting someone I admire. I already have enough trouble getting to know your average normal person without throwing celebrity into the mix (you know how it is...I'd be wondering if they'd be wondering if I only wanted to hang out with them because I was a psycho nuts fan of theirs). And I'd be risking disappointment as well.
Buried at PhotoCasket.comI mean you listen to their songs or read their books and you connect with what they're saying and feel the music that adds another level of language to the words and you just know that these people would understand anything you could say. You can just imagine having this long drawn-out conversation with them about life and all the cool things there are to think about. I actually had one of those kind of conversations before with a guy named Xan. We sat for so long just talking about really important, amazing things. I even cried because it was so profound. Unfortunately, we were both very drunk on burgundy (the philosophical drink) and I didn't remember a word about what we had discussed the night before. But, I remember the feeling.Anyway...back to the point. Basically, you know these guys are deep and have something to say, but have they gotten past their ego (well, obviously, Jesus has got past the ego thing)? Oh, I'm not talking about ego in the sense of pomposity. Not the preening and check-me-out kind of ego although that can be a part of it. I'm talking about the persona that we project. That other personality that we wear like a mask to hide our vulnerabilities. I still haven't completely rid myself of my ego, so how could I expect it of them? But, with egos in place, could we really talk to each other? And drinking burgundy is cool for the experience of stripping ego, but I'd really like to be able to recall all the deep, meaningful things I discuss with someone. I guess that's why I'm here....to talk to people.

Music:
In this section I did have a huge number of musicians listed and every few days I would think of a name or two I had forgotten to include and would dutifully add it in. And then, I realized...This is REALLY annoying. So...to make it easier on myself I will just declare that I love music. I love all kinds of music. There is very little in the way of music that I don't love. Ok...maybe I'm not partial to the REALLY discordant screeching death metal stuff, but I love almost everything else.
Movies:
MySpace Glitter GraphicsSome of my favorites are Matrix, Sixth Sense, Cannibal the Musical, Head (starring the Monkees), Office Space, the Monty Python movies, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Harvey, and Four Rooms.
Television:
House, Heroes, Red Dwarf, My Hero (before Ardal O'Hanlon was replaced...they should have cancelled the show), Father Ted, Black Adder, Ghost Whisperer, Firefly, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Medium, and Dr. Phil.
Books:
I like the Harry Potter series, Jane Eyre, The Lord of the Rings, Ishmael (by Daniel Quinn), the first few books of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice (haven't read the rest of them),
MySpace Glitter GraphicsThe Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy series and all Douglas Adams (bow to the master), and ummmm....I know there's a lot more, I just don't remember them off the top of my head.
Heroes:
Anyone who follows their heart. It sounds corny, but given how the world is right now, following your heart isn't the easiest thing to do anymore.
