laurika's Interests
|
| General | Music (listening, playing), books (reading), hiking/camping, cooking for special occasions, travel, warm sandy beaches when I can get there. | | Music | Artists:Recently loving Willie Nile's Streets of New York album. Nick Cave/Birthday Party, Rolling Stones, Debussy, Ravel, St. Saens, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Green Day, Clash, Chris Isaak, Messiah, Stone Roses, R.E.M., Elvis Costello, Matthew Sweet, Duran Duran, Joy Division, Counting Crows, Bob Dylan, Weezer, Nine Inch Nails, Better than Ezra...and so on.... | | Movies | La Femme Nikita (the original one), Room with a View, Ferris Beuller's Day Off, Lord of the Rings, Blade Runner, Howl's Moving Castle, Being John Malkovich, Clockwork Orange, the Princess Bride. Action/adventure movies are great because you can just enjoy them without expecting anything really moving or artistic. Also, anything with John Cusak or Johnny Depp. Or Helena Bonham Carter. Or Kate Winslet. Absolutely no Demi Moore. I used to say absolutely no Jim Carrey until Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. | | Television | Don't really watch much. The new Dr. Who series (Dr. who was never so foxy!) and checking out Torchwood--I know I'm a total geek. Mystery on PBS sometimes. Used to be a big Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan.
| | Books | Crime and Punishment, other Dostoyevsky and Russian literature in general, William Faulkner, Ursula K. LeGuin, EM Forster, C.S. Lewis, The Tin Drum, Harry Potter--I told you I was a geek, didn't I?-- Heart of Darkness, Mutiny on the Bounty, John le Carre, Simone de Beauvoir, Marguerite Duras. For light reading fantasy or mysteries like Robert Jordan, Laurie King, Terry Brooks, Elizabeth George--lots of other stuff. For heavy reading, novels in French. In general I love reading, however, I refuse to read James Joyce! | | Heroes | Recently I was told that Generation X has no heroes. So, I guess, none. But, there are a lot of my family and friends that I greatly admire and wish I could be more like. Haven't put much effort into that, however! |

About me:
| You Are 64% Pure | 
Well, you're not exactly an angel - but you're pretty darn close.
But chances are, you have a couple juicy secrets deep in your closet.
|
I'm a librarian, and no I don't wear a bun, and I haven't (yet) caught anyone having sex amongst the stacks. I love living in Cleveland, but have strong attacks of nostalgia for Norman, Okla., my hometown. The song "Young at heart" persistently runs through my head. This is a family thing. My grandpa's recurring song was "76 trombones." Bizzare fear of my glasses/sunglasses falling off when I'm in a high place. Sometimes I can't help actually holding onto them if I'm crossing a high bridge or something! Likes: Learning new things, traveling anywhere, camping and hiking, talking to friends, meeting intelligent, funny people. Pizza. Cold drinks on a patio when it's still 80 degrees after sunset--I think that's been about one time since I moved to Cleveland. Summertime!!! Dislikes: Intolerance; however, I'm very judgemental myself. Intellectual bullies. The last month of winter. Liver, lima beans and black eyed peas.
