Fearless people. Anyone I knew in a past life. Andy Warhol, Peter O'Toole, Ginger Rogers, David Bowie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Ruth Riechl, Anthony Bourdain, Hey I just realized I have no world leaders or politicians. Hmmmm. Well I would like to meet the Dali Lama. And there are a lot of people I'd like to meet just to give them a piece of my mind, I mean discuss some issues...Who I'd really like to meet is: anyone genuine."This is the true joy in life: being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a true force of Nature instead of a feverish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. For the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me; it’s a sort of splendid torch which I’ve got to hold up for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."~ George Bernard ShawThe Go Go's Our lips are sealed

Do I have to answer all these? Love those PBS/BBC House reality shows (colonial house, 1940's house). Monk, 4400, Psych, Discovery's Planet Earth series, Everest Beyond the Limit. I also love to watch absolute crap TV. I'm willing to admit it.I FOUND IT! IT'S MISS PIGGY AND RAQUEL WELCH SINGING MY ANTHEM, "I'M A WOMAN!" ENJOY...
I'm working on reading more often again...currently I'm a good 10 years behind all you hip types. Which makes listing any pretty pointless. If you have suggestions let me know...I like quirky.
David Bowie(Iman, because she married David Bowie). Anyone who's fearless. And grandma Lorna, for being the most humorous, lovable, and strong woman in my life. Without her I'd be some crazy woman with no teeth. Instead I get to be me!
