Wine, sculpting, photography, painting, writing, attempting to sing, reading, listening to music, ballet, learning other languages, traveling, hopefully one day owning my own vineyard...
Anybody with a decent sense of humor, anyone who is able to hold my interest.

I only watch movies, not tv shows. (Except for the Sopranos. I'm gonna kick AJ's ass.) The commercials alone make me want to shoot the screen with my Winchester, then throw it out the window.(The tv...not my beloved weaponry.) And before PETA gets on my ass, I don't hunt. Not animals, anyway.

Enough!" In my case it would just be wine..maybe men. Maybe not. Probably couldn't think up enough excuses for why I haven't picked up the phone...)Henry David Thoreau, Edgar Allan Poe, Francecsa Lia Block, Shakespeare, Aleister Crowely, William Blake, Carl Jung, Dante, and Oscar Wilde.
The sun, Norrin Radd, (For those of you who aren't comic book geeks, that's the Silver Surfer. He kicks ass.) and La Belle Otero. Other than that, I find idolatry pointless. I'd rather be a friend to someone than look up to them.
