Is "things that are interesting" too much of a cop-out?
*sigh*
Fine.
Anything that takes me out of my own head for a while: Humor, fantasy, fantastical humor. Something clever. Whatever "it" is, to hold my interest, it must be clever.
You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.
Admittedly, I pussy out of this section all the time for several reasons.
Reason 1:I actually do have such a strange and wide amalgamation of musical interests, a list would be ridiculous.
Reason 2:For a person frequently hired as a vocalist, my musical wealth of knowledge is not as edgy or extensive as it should be.
Reason 3:I know some really cool people who think I'm kinda neat . . if they see the wrong thing on my list(Spice Girls? The "High School Musical" soundtrack? Hootie and the Blowfish?), they will judge me. Deservedly.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the recordings used as examples of suck. I do not claim they suck. But they sure sound like they should, yes?
Movies
Gone with the Wind (I refuse to apologize as Clark Gable as Rhett is inordinately sexy), any Christopher Guest mockumentary, Sunset Boulevard, Three Amigos, Anything Alan Rickman has ever done, and Lambada: the Forbidden Dance
Television
Lost, Futurama, MST3K, Venture Bros, X-files (before it jumped the shark), Twin Peaks (before it jumped the shark), American Gothic (before it got cancelled), Simpsons, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show . . .Currently Dexter, Pushing Daisies and Ugly Betty. I don't do much TV anymore. And if it has a laugh track, I won't find it funny as a rule.
Books
God, yes, books . . let me read them, smell them, hold them close to my heart. Words in infinite combinations. I am Burgess Merideth in the Twilight Zone . . .just give me time to read. Magazine, Textbook, Romance novel, or literary masterpiece . . I can read it, and find something to enjoy.
Heroes
Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Madelaine Kahn . . beautiful women unafraid of being funny and/or looking stupid (would that I were that unimpeded). Judi Dench, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet . . .actors of unsurpassed talent.
About me: I think I am best described by a friend of mine, who once said of me, "Meghan, who?"
*Stands on soapbox*
For the record, anyone I don't know who sends me a message consisting of no capitalization, no punctuation, and poor spelling with a combination of acronyms instead of words will not get ANY sort of reply. While I may have recently come to terms with the fact that I would probably sleep with a man who cannot spell, I do refuse to sleep with a man who cannot spell CHECK. Try to make a first impression of quality, not questionable grey matter. Thank you for your attention.
Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert . . . wit, committment to the joke, and brains . . a deadly combination of appeal.
James Urbaniak (in person)for defining the art of "wry."
Stephen Sondheim, for writing shows that mean the world to me artistically, and for music in my vocal range so that I have been able to perform them.
Jack the Ripper just so I could KNOW!
So many intriguing people have walked this earth . . so hard to narrow it. I guess anyone with quick wit should be my answer.
I always mention people in the public eye . . . because the people that matter the most personally you never knew you were looking for until they showed up.

Happy Friday the 13th to you as well! You should go buy 3 quick-picks. Heehee. That's what I'm doing.
And thank you for your generous compliment. It started off as more of a joke, but it's turning into something bigger than I expected. HAH! I WAS thinking about pulling it together as a comic.
I believe they first invented the flattened cat in Ur but the technology was lost for centuries after the collapse of the Sumerian empire. The Myceneans had their own version of Linear Cat B, and the Incans tied cats into knots on strings to perform advanced mathematics.
