Books, music, cooking, movies, books, driving long distance and books. And movies. Almost any movie. I used to go camping a lot, but I've gotten too busy for it (or too old? I hope not.) And that's camping in a tent, not in a dress and pearls, buster.
(I usually hate these things, but what the hell, they actually got it right:)
You scored as Theater. You should be a Theater major! Like a bohemian actress, you are seasoned and confident and not afraid to express yourself!
Joni Mitchel, The Right of Spring, Seal, Beethoven's Sixth, Fifth and Ninth in that order, Simon and Garfunkle, The Beatles, Steeley Dan, Grand Master Flash, um um um...
Movies
Favorite movie depends on the day. Cabaret maybe, or Nashville. Loved Triplets of Belleville. Usual Suspects. Charade. Fantasia, Roger Rabbit, Fargo, um um um...
Television
Simpsons, West Wing, Law And Order (all but the Trial by Jury one. Yuck.) All in the Family, M*A*S*H, Sonny and Cher, Laugh In, Dinner for Five, The South Bank Show and almost any British mystery that PBS or BBC America want to throw my way.
Books
Favorite book - probably Dahlgren. Didn't know you can WRITE surrealism! I like hard science fiction (Heinlein, Arthur C. Clark. I've read all of Orson Scott Cards Ender, Ender's Shadow, Homecoming and Alvin Maker series) and almost any fantasy that has a dragon in it. (Silly, I know, but we all need our comfort food - I've read all the Anne McCaffrey Dragonrider series.)
I'm a scruffy looking writer, reasonably intelligent. Not Brad Pitt, but not Ernest Borgnine either. My house is a repository for books and I love movies more than is reasonable for an adult person. (Princess Bride, Cabaret, Liquid Sky, anything by Monty Python or Robert Altman. Old Disney. New independents. Etc.) I have a writing partner who I also own a business with (with a real office. We even have a Ficus tree), but he's straight, poor dear. In fact he's here right now helping me with this profile. Because I'm way too humble. Plus, he can spell.
We've published a book (hold for applause), called Weeping Willow: Welcome to River Bend, based on our on-line satirical serial that had fans all over the world. You can find out all about it (and us) and read the first three chapters free here: www.JosephCoaler.com
Maternal grandparents were from Italy and Malta, paternal grandfather was Pennsylvania Dutch, grandmother "Daughters of the Revolution", a particularly snooty bunch of women who think having relatives who fought a war is something to brag about.
My family is mostly Baha'i. I meditate and pray but don't have a religion, per se. I'd love to be able to say I'm Druid, but that's more cool than practical, I'm afraid.
I have a BFA in theatre from Fort Wright College in Spokane Washington. Since I graduated, no one has cared that I have a BFA and the college no longer exists. But we did some fine plays way back then.
I have always wondered what "auld lang syne" actually means. I only posted that song because I'm old enough to know who Guy Lombardo was...and it's past midnight in New York so I can go to bed now. Holy shit! I just admitted that I don't have a life...
Best wishes for your birthday! If you want, I'll let you have one of my original MP3 tracks for free as my birthday present for you. Just let me know the name of which one would you like to get and I'll tell you where to download it.

I'm having a hard time with the aging process today, Geoff. Hence, the song...and Dorothy Parker. That song, and many others by the other "J"s you mention, were in my repertoire when I sang and played for a living. My brother referred to my repertoire as "beat me, whip me music" :).
