On a quest for Quality friends, not a mass Quantity of friends. People with whom I share views, laughter, and interests. People I've known, people I've studied with, people I've met in previous lives. NOTE: Though I am currently single, I have NO interest in dating. Not now. Not ever. I'm thoroughly in love and thoroughly broken. And yes, I DO have single, dateable friends who are as smart, witty, pretty and talented as I am. ;)
Anything that feels good.
Gangsta rap rarely RARELY fits in this category.
Neither does teeny bop pop.
Or jungle techno trancy stuff.
Or really heavy loud banging on walls and screeching.
I grew up dancing to the rhythm and listening for the drums. I dig watching musicians play. I like what I like. Anything that makes me bob my head, tap my feet, shake my hips, laugh, smile, and mellow out in that good way.
Anything that feels good.
My Launchcast Station is a bit out-of-date, but will give you a bit of an idea of my tastes... Now if you could get ahold of my ipod, you might REALLY learn something.
The Princess Bride, good S. King flicks (Shawshank, G.M.), Matt Damon movies (script sucks? I have a mute button), smart flicks with surprise endings, flicks that play with classic literature, artsy stuff, foreign stuff... etc...etc... etc....
I love Netflix.
Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?
Henry Ward BeecherThere is very little that is sexier than a man who appreciates good writing. A mind is a horrible thing to waste, but a glorious thing to SEDUCE.

"Every hero becomes a bore at last."
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe Grinch and The Brain haven't bored me yet, though.
"What are we going to do tonight, Brain?"
"Same thing we do every night, Pinky...."And my mom and her sisters, who taught me that being a good partner in life doesn't mean bending to every whim. It means being who you are, being independent, being intelligent, and keeping a sense of humor and love ever-present in your life.
