Writing, Rosebella, Music, Reading, Movies, a few specific TV shows though sometimes the commercials are more intelligent than the shows. Cooking, some crafts and needlework. And of course my family and friends.
I'd like to meet:
Okay, if a time machine was available, I would like to meet Edgar Allan Poe.
And Jesus Christ. (Now there's a comparison!!) Not because I'm a religious freak, but because I find history interesting, and I'd like to see where things began, and see for myself.
In the present, I'd like to chat with Stephen King.
And I think Whoopi Goldberg would be the coolest fucking friend ever. Just gotta love her.
Osama Bin Laden just to ask him "WHAT THE FUCK????"And if I could actually get in that time machine, I would like to have some time with my father to just let him know I love him in spite of everything.

(I've come a ways from when my heroes used to be Batman, Captain Kirk, Tonto, and Mary Poppins, although they were not bad starts.
