I am into: alternative housing, totem animals,supporting small businesses, coffee and tea, talking smack about corporations and consumerism, alternative religions, herbalism and auromatherapy,natural childbirth,protecting CHOICE, Fair Trade, cooking,trying to organize all my junk, the occasional craft, getting sucked into volunteer stuff a lot,writing,playing with my kids, etc.
I am the local moderator for a group called Freecycle. Basically, we work to keep old objects out of landfills by forming local yahoo groups where people can list stuff they want to give or are looking for. It's a very specific kind of Craig's list thing I guess. Check out YOUR area through www.freecycle.org. It's a lot of fun, even just to see the random things people OFFER up.
Also Freakin Hysterically funny and not often actually hysterical....
Music
I like music that makes you want to clean the toilet and dance around and feel good and get stuff done.
My daughter just starting singing "Shout at the Devil at school" as a result of Guitar Hero. Ooopps.
