I'm not going to pretend I spend my free time doing all kinds of things that other people might find interesting in the hopes of seeming cooler than I really am. So I guess I'm breaking myspace rule number 2 or something.
I am interested in way more things than I ever actually get to do.
Right now I am dying to get up to Echo Park for a couple of tacos and corn on the cob, and to blow about $20 on nonsense in China Town, but will I get to do it anytime soon? Highly unlikely.
I am also intensely interested in the supposed connection between the Knights Templar and the Freemasons, but where CAN that go?
Furthermore, therefore, ahem, so forth and so on...I am interested in buying a new needle for my record player, but I am too lazy and/or too busy to call the needle company during their limited daytime/weekday hours and, therefore, cop out and keep spending money buying cds of albums I have on vinyl because I want to hear them so badly.

Books
There is no way I am putting that much more effort into my myspace profile.
I read many books. I love reading books. Books are to my brain as air is to my lungs.
I would often get in trouble as a child for staying up too late reading in bed.
I was frequently told I would lose my sight due to reading in the dark. This has yet to happen.
Heroes
There are no heroes in America today, but sometimes Joe is my hero. Like when he is working all the time and going to school practically full time and being a rad dad and an awesome husband and still sweet and funny and amazing and I get all annoyed over something stupid and he is just patient and wonderful and kind and caring and I remember that's the way people should be. Good. Also, when we're just hanging out and he's absolutely just killing me at Smash Bros. Brawl but he doesn't mention anything until I say something like "Did you just hear the computer announcer? It said I was OBLITERATED!" And he does it all while being incredibly good-looking.
Patient, kind, caring, smart, funny, understanding, wise, witty, humble, creative, hardworking, down to earth, nice wonderful people. I guess I changed my opinion about heroes.
About me: Me is a happy person. Me has a great little family. Me hate bizarro me. Me enjoys playing the music. Me also enjoys listening to the music. Sometimes me enjoys drinking the liquor, but not very often because it is bad for me.
Who I'd like to meet: Myself in a dark alley after a few drinks
Also. Keith Olbermann. To tell him thank you for this:
You should add the "Green Spot" application... so much fun!!! I have been hooked on it all morning. It took me a bit to figure it all out, but once I did, it is awesome!!! I figure with the plants and animals it would be your cup of tea. The idea is to create your own garden. You earn money to buy more things for your garden by visiting other peoples gardens. And you can give out a star if you like someones garden and get stars if others like yours. There is chatting and messaging and adding of people to your buddy list. It is like a whole separate MySpace. It is cool! If you check it out, let me know what you think!
OK, how were you able to make spaces in your interest sections? Your profile is the second one I've seen with spaces... the first person I asked didn't answer my question, so I hope you come through for me. LoL.
Throwing sandcastles, swimming and sunning in our still very much WINTER faces is very mean of you! Ha Ha Ha! That sounds like a PERFECT day. I'm jealous :) This week is suppose to warm up. I am so ready for SpRiNg!!! :)
