During the Summer of 2006, I was an intern at WKLQ (107.3 FM) with the Justice and Jim Morning Show. It was fun while it lasted (sadly, J&J are no longer with KLQ). They were replaced by a couple of idiots from XM radio who totally suck! I don't usually listen to the radio nowadays... I like to customize & burn mix CDs. I'd rather listen to what I want to, when I want to & without commercials!
I love going to car shows. My dad collects/restores Hudsons, my little brother is a very active member in the West Michigan DSM Tuners Club (and restored an '84 Camaro with my dad), and I was brought up going to a bunch of shows every summer. I always look forward to the Del Shannon car show in Coopersville every August. Dad always brings his 1933 Hudson Terraplane (it's HOT!):
I collect comic books! I read 'em, too!!!
I love music & movies... I love hot cars... Specifically Classics... *drools on hot cars*
I'm also a music person - (see below - the music section - for what I like), and I also am a musician. I play flute & piccolo and have been a member of the Coopersville Community Band, as well as a member of the Grand Rapids Symphonic Band!
Music
I LOVE the Beatles! The movie/musical Across the Universe is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! Go see it NOW! (Unless, you're not a Beatles fan... Duh...)
CCR... Sublime... Queen... David Bowie... Grateful Dead... Buckcherry... the Doors.. the Rolling Stones... Bob Marley... Dave Matthews Band... Israel Kamakawiwo'ole... Jimmy Buffet... Tom Petty... Evanescence... Nine Inch Nails... Def Leppard... Led Zeppelin... Pink Floyd... Cheap Trick... the Eagles... Cyndi Lauper... old skool Madonna... and lots more... Mostly, it depends on my mood.
I don't care much for country music, but there are a few exceptions, like Toby Keith - 'cuz he's kinda kick-ass...
Movies
IRON MAN!!!
......
The Hulk movie was pretty decent. It didn't hurt that Tony Stark had a cameo... *droolz*
......
As already mentioned, I LOVED the movie/musical Across the Universe! It was simply amazing (for lack of a better word).
........
Anything and everything with Jay and Silent Bob (*huggles Kevin Smith*)... The Chronicles of Narnia... I ADORED Stardust (the novel/graphic novel) are wonderful, too!
Superbad rocked FACE!
The Pride and Prejudice remake with Kiera Knightly was wonderful! (I <3 Mr. Darcy! *swoon*)
......
......
The Big Lebowski... Legend... Moulin Rouge... It rocks!
The Phantom of the Opera!
Of course, Star Wars (all of them, BUT Empire pwns!)
Your Famous Movie Kiss is from The Empire Strikes Back
"Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited."
The Lord of the Rings trilogy... the Labyrinth... Goonies... Army of Darkness...
The Princess Bride is AWESOME!
Looking forward to this summer's Iron Man, Batman & Indiana Jones!!!
I'm also a sucker for Disney animated films - the Little Mermaid & Beauty & the Beast are tied for my favorite Disney movie. I'm also geeked about Enchanted!
........
On the topic of animated films, I have always been a fan of The Last Unicorn.
I bought myself the He-Man & She-Ra Christmas Special back in December (gotta love the 80's! - I'm so picking up the top 10 collected episodes on She-Ra in July, too!)
I also recently got a copy of the "Best of She-Ra" DVD, and my awesome boyfriend got me Season 1, Volume 1 of the series!!! Yay!!!
Television
I <3 Heroes! I was ADDICTED to Alias. It's too damn bad about the show getting canceled... And, I hate the direction it went in during its last season:(
........
........
I also adore Lost...
ADULT SWIM (InuYasha & Aqua Teen Hunger Force, mostly)!!! I also enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel & Firefly (along with the movie Serenity, AKA the sequel to the show): basically anything by Joss Wheadon.
You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow, Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgment. Captain Jack looks out for Number 1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three.
I also <3 anything and everything by Jane Austin, Anne Rice's works... the Amelia Peabody mysteries by Elizabeth Peters, anything King Arthur-related, Harry Potter, Stardust (Neil Gaiman)...
I have also recently become addicted to a numbers/logic/reasoning game called sudoku. I purchased a little booklet and... *poof* I can kill an hour in no time flat!

You're a pro at going with the flow
You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer
A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.
While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.
Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done
You're passionate - just selective about your passions
Bruce Campbell!!! Kevin Smith... Jennifer Garner... Joss Wheadon... Samuel L. Jackson (because he's a badass muthafuker!)... John Lennon (if I could go back in time)... Sean Connery (all men should be that sexy when they're over 70! Of course, I'd be happy just to listen to him talk...)
Oh yeah, I'd also love to meet Steven Spielberg, George Lucas & John Williams (if you don't know who he is... go away.) LOL
........
Your Heart Is Red
You're a passionate lover - you always have a huge fire in your heart.
Too bad it's hard for you to be passionate about just one person!
ummmmmmm i like the sound of your update and i was wondering who this shane bloke was :) me update..... i come home exactly 3 weeks today.... i have done 2 exams today and i think i did really well in them so happy there...
Well it's really hard to plan one cause a lot of people work Friday nights (or are too tired from working earlier) and I work every Saturday night...and Sunday seems to never work out either. Getting old sucks!
It was fucking phenomenal seeing you again! It's been ages and ages. I was so glad to see that you're alive and well. P.S. A couple of the guys from around here want to hang out with you again. So if you ever have the time, let me... Or us, know, and you're more than welcome. :) Take care, crazy kid! I'll talk to you later.
Rawr!
