I'd like to meet:

people who do not take themselves seriously, strangers with candy, the boogey man, oompa loompas, people with a zest for life, a sass in their ass, a sense of style and humor and most importantly, positive: meaning no catty types! meow.

Music:

for me, music is like food-and i'm not a picky eater. i like twinkies just the way i like a gourmet meal, everything has a different and unique flavor to offer. therefore i like junk music (aka pop) and i love classical, rap, techno, indie, folk and a multitude of other genres. i cant sing (except when im drunk and i decide that i should harm others at karaoke with my screechy voice) otherwise here are some of my favorites: ladytron,nina simone, jay-z, regina spektor ,the roots, mos def, elton john,cat power, iron and wine and nick drake, madonna and britney, johnny cash, bloc party,postal service, gnarls barkley, david bowie, arcade fire,the strokes, dolly parton, neil diamond, carl cox, shelrawka, kelly clarkson, ramones, the clash, nouvelle vague, interpol, feist, miles davis, astrud gilberto and le tigre,erin and her cello and johnboy(check them out on my friends),tori amos and ani d., and of course gay DIVA house with the likes of Cher and Whitney! oh grrrl is right, yeah.

Movies:

sad movies, funny/stupid movies. breakfast at tiffany's(i dont care if anyone thinks thats cliche', its a classic),Rosemary's baby, Annie Hall, terms of endearment,Amelie, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Donnie Darko, Trick, Napolean Dynamite, the trilogy of Blue, White and Red, Mean Girls, Eternal Sunshine, Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic, Little Miss Sunshine, .....the list is too damn long

Television:

Lost, the Office, AbFab, retarded reality shows...but usually i don't have time for telly.

Books:

anything by Dorothy Parker, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Langston Hughes, Joan Didion the Year of magical Thinking, Zadie Smith,lucille Clifton, john irving, virginia woolf, Confederacy of Dunces, stuff about death, anything by Truman Capote, On the Road, Jack Kerouac American Gods, Neil Gaiman Invisible Monsters, Chuck Palanuik Love in the time of Cholera by senor Gabriel Garcia Marquez Cavedwellers, Little Women, The Four Agreements, Native Son, Queer, The God of Small Things, oh and Learning to Fly by Victoria Beckham-lies! all lies!
