I love life, I love living it, I love to laugh, I laugh a lot, I love true beauty, I love beauty in unexpected places, I love the truth, I love the truth even when it hurts. My interests lie somewhere in the expression of those -- a shorter list would be disinterests.
My face lights up when I'm passionate about something. Even something as simple a joy as ice cream. Try it sometime.
NOTE: This list does NOT include celebrities or anyone else who I have met but would like to meet again or spend more time with. This is a list solely of people I have never met in real life.

Living People who aren't celebrities:
Pretty much anyone who is a genuine person inside -- though I reserve the right to give you a nickname and/or tell you my honest opinion about what you're doing.
Basically, if you want more than a split second attention from me be honest and real -- don't play an act.

I have 15,100 songs on my iPod -- do you REALLY want me to list them all?
I'm massively obsessed with the song "No Life Without Wife" from Bride and Prejudice right now. I wander around singing it and then get it stuck in people's heads all the time.
Ummmm... Lots?...Let's start with the obvious choices:
Princess Bride, Bride & Prejudice, Fight Club, Beauty and the Beast, The Science of Sleep, Lord of thd Rings series, Corpse Bride, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Harry Potter movies, Ever After, ALMOST any movie with Johnny Depp especially Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Pirates of the Caribbean, Chocolat, Finding Neverland, Edward Scissorhands. NOT Astronaut's Wife...that's just plain bad.
Lost, Project Runway, Punk'd, Mythbusters, history international specials, World Cup, ice skating, X Games competitions, history channel specials,
I don't really watch TV very often, I haven't the time to watch other's living false lives when too busy living my own.
Oh my -- if I listed them all this would go on for miles!! My favorites are Atlas Shrugged, Tigana, Brothers Karamazov, Picture of Dorian Gray, Shakespeare, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Arcadia, Fountainhead, LOTR, The Idiot, We The Living, Songsmith, Demons, Virtue of Selfishness, Tamora Pierce books, the Inferno series by Louise Cooper, Tardieu is strange but makes me laugh... I really like philosophy, classics, mythology, Arthurian legend, fantasy, history, literature, many many other things...I own over 2500 books, um, yeah. I'm a lit major and a writer.
There are many people I look up to and would like to meet but frankly, I don't want to be anyone but me... I happen to like me the way I am. Even with all my faults.
