blissflower's Interests
|
| General | I 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.
| | Music | Truthfully, 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. | | Movies | I 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.
| | Television | I'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. | | Books | Oh 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. | | Heroes |
'Nuff said.

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:
