You are a Self-Discoverer
You're not religious, but you've created your own kind of spirituality.
Introspective and thoughtful, you tend to look inward for the divine.
You are distrusting of all forms of organized religion.
You especially dislike religious gurus and leaders, who you feel are charlatans. What's Your Religious Philosophy?

Music:

All kinds of things, I love musicals, favorite one right now being RENT. I also love Sarah McLaughlin, some country, and 80's ballads.

Movies:

Where to start? Absolute faves are RENT, Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter (although I like the books better) Practical Magic, Nightmare Before Xmas, The Birdcage, and Batman Begins.

Television:

Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. That's it---I don't like television.

Books:

EVERYTHING. I DEVOUR books. CURRENTLY ON THE READING SHELF: Just a Little Prick by Hilary Butler; All the Weyrs of Pern by Anne McCaffrey; and The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice.

Heroes:

I really don't have any. Truthfully. I've been asked this question a million times and I've never had a real and true answer. I guess I have yet to meet them.
