Knitting, crocheting, sewing, spinning yarn, reading, cooking.
I'm a tv junkie, and always have it on in the background.
I'm obsessed with lace making, and would love to learn bobbin lace making soon (I can already make knitted, crocheted, and tatted lace). It's a dying art, so it's hard to find someone who can teach me.
CDs in the current rotation: Broadway or movie musicals (current favorites are Rent, Phantom of the Opera, Annie), Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Best of Bowie, Green Day, Andrews Sisters, Common Rotation (aka Union Maid). I don't like much that's on the radio now, but if my parents or grandparents listened to it, I probably love it. :)
Arsenic and Old Lace, Harvey, Wizard of Oz, Rent, Phantom of the Opera, Down with Love, Dodgeball, Anchorman, Mean Girls, Cinderella, Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge, Chicago...
The Young Riders, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, House, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, anything on BBC America, all the true crime shows on A&E (American Justice, City Confidential, etc), History Channel Specials, Turner Classic Movies, Good Eats...
I collect cookbooks and read them like novels.

Well, so far it's an okay show. I'm not a big fan of the J.J. Abrams style of television, but the story is interesting so far. I just have no expectation of ever having any the questions raised about the show or characters answered, and I'm not okay with that.Oh, wait...this isn't really asking my opinion on a television show by this same title, is it? Well, in that case, I have no heroes. I have people I respect and admire, but I have no heroes...people shouldn't be put up on a pedestal like that. There's no place for them to go, but down. (Well, I guess, you could argue that they could move to a higher pedestal, like when the Olympic Silver Medalist finally wins a Gold, but that doesn't support my theory, so I am discounting it right now).
