    blissflower's Interests
GeneralI love writing, reading, dancing (DDR!), watching roller derby (too much of a wuss to actually BE a rollergirl), knitting, baseball, fantasy football, Star Wars, Australia, Mario Kart, swimming, camping, artsy-fartsy type projects, and progressive liberal politics.
MusicTruthfully, I am a pop music kind of girl. But I do love lots of stuff. Music is one of the things that can make my heart soar and bring me to tears without warning. Favorites include: Indigo Girls, Crosby Stills and Nash, Air Supply, REM, Bob Schneider, Kirsty McColl, Kenny Loggins, Peter Paul and Mary, Anna Nalick, Steve Burns, Cowboy Mouth, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Zap Mama, Dead Milkmen, early Beastie Boys, just about anything you'll find on DDR, Cibo Matto, Grey Delisle, Coldplay, Madonna, Prince, Duran Duran, Norah Jones, Schrodinger's Cat, Lyle Lovett, kd lang, Melissa Ethridge, just about any Broadway musical (except Oklahoma- I hate that show), Tenacious D, and Ruthie Foster.
MoviesI am Star Wars obsessed. Empire is my personal favorite, but I love them all. Also a big fan of Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom and Moulin Rouge) and Kevin Smith. Dogma is sheer genius. I love stupid comedies like Tommy Boy and anything by Adam Sandler or Will Farrell, and I can generally enjoy romantic "chick flick" type movies. I do enjoy foreign films too, but Jason isn't wild about 'em so we don't watch them as much. Like Water for Chocolate is another favorite. I also really enjoy old school horror flicks by Roger Corman with Vincent Price starring.
TelevisionI'm using MG's childhood to relive my own, so I'm really into cartoons right now. Favorites are pretty much anything with Grey Delisle in it (Billy and Mandy, Danny Phantom, Foster's Home) and anything stupid that makes me laugh. I also am really hooked on YouTube. I do love watching The Closer, Law and Order reruns, and the latest season of Next Food Network Star. Otherwise, you can find me playing the Wii quite a bit.
BooksOh good lord. There just isn't enough room. Personal favorites include Anne Rice, Anne Lamott, Troy Denning, Julia Cameron, Douglas Adams, Joseph Campbell, and just about any self-help book ever written.

What one word embodies you?


http://www.brainfall.com/quizzes/what-one-word-emb...

I am the embodiment of Truth. Your curiosity has an insatiable appetite, and is the most essential thing that drives you. You question everything and constantly strive to uncover universal truths. You are a person enchanted by history, and you study it religiously in hopes of being the one to discover The Truth. You take nothing at face value, and know that if you want the truth you�ll have to dig for it. However, this is a double-edged sword for sometimes the truth is staring you right in the face and you can�t even see it.

Find Your Character @ BrainFall.com

Who I'd like to meet:
Would love to have a sit down with George Lucas. Other cool people I would love to meet: Carol Burnett, Alton Brown, Anne Rice, Michael Cuddyer(or any of the Twins for that matter), Steve Burns, Jon Stewart, Michael Stipe and Mike Mills, Barats and Bereta, Butch Hartman, Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck, Weird Al, Jack Black and Kyle Gass...I could go on and on.

YES! A parenting choose your own adventure--with a dash of a "worst-case survival handbook: parents." How un/popular would that be?! "If you a) choose to tell your child the truth about Santa, turn to pg 84...."

I've missed myspace!! I've hardly been on here, but I still like it better than fb. Fb just seems more...dry...like, the status updates and little red-boxed numbers of updates are cool, but I just feel like I can express myself better on here, with the profile songs and page backgrounds and such. I wish everyone wouldn't've migrated o'er there, but it's inevitable now...i'm stuck in a dense land of applications and "posted items.

Hey !! thank you for the blog comment...I like your new blog idea re: songs.
But yes, I would miss your blogs that ruminate that embelish in both the bizarre and the mundane in such a humorous way :) I am longing to blog more too; it's just finding the time right now, and the fact that I've become a facebook addict suddenly, and the very annoying fact that 1 of my shift keys is broken, making intelligent typing rather difficult :0 !! Who knew the humble shift key was SO integral to the keyboard's existence?

You know, I haven't been following the Dodgers this season. When I was a kid, I was a HUGE Dodger fan. I was actually shocked to hear they were going to the playoffs this year.
I didn't go to any games this year, but I hope they go on to win!

Take care!
