I am not interested in cars, Christian inspirational novels, celebrity gossip, or most video games. Other than that, I'm pretty sure anything. Everything. And then some.
Music
I have the discology of the Alan Parsons Project and also David Bowie. Patrick Fiori owns me (and my mom and my sister). I have the best collection of French rock this side of the Atlantic, thanks to my pirate boyfriend. My playlists run the gamut from Yanni to Linkin Park. Bach, Finger Eleven, Michael Franks, Brian Eno. Possibly my all-time favorite album is Ben Folds Rockin' the Suburbs. I have a respectable collection of contemporary jazz, and nearly every Gooding album. Etc etc etc.
Movies
Velvet Goldmine, Benny & Joon, Rocky Horror, Willy Wonka (the old one), Angels in America, Fiddler on the Roof, The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Amélie, All of Me, An American in Paris, The Big Chill, Paper Moon, Little Miss Sunshine, Jean de Florette, Transamerica, and doubtlessly many others. Oh and also The Story of Fifteen Boys, the most underappreciated kids movie ever.
Television
M*A*S*H, Boston Legal, Frazier before it jumped the shark a few season in, Dead Like Me, Scrubs (although I rather despise Zack Braff, I adore all the others) and Soap.
Books
Type tenthrune into the librarything website and check out my library. If someone put a knife to my throat and demanded my favorite book, I suppose I would tell them The View From Saturday. But apart from death threats I really can't pick a favorite, or even a dozen of them.
Heroes
Melissa McEwan. Margaret Atwood. David and Barbara Mikkelson. Richard Dawkins. Douglas Adams. My parents. Kay Wiley. And many, many others.
About me: I'm a liberal feminist atheist activist from the Heartland. When I'm in France I'm homesick for Kansas and when I'm in Kansas I'm homesick for France. I read, I write, I take pictures, and I start more projects that I could possibly finish. Je ne parle plus ni l'anglais ni le français mais plutôt un mélange. My vie est en suspende entre deux pays et deux langues. And I have an illegal cat named Scout.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who has at least one book in common with me. That seems to be a good enough standard. I would love to have coffee with Barbara and David Mikkelson from The Urban Legends Reference Pages, or with Richard Dawkins. I would love to go for a walk with Thich Nhat Hanh. And of course I'd sell my kidneys (both of them) to take a creative writing class from Margaret Atwood.
I just saw your books section and it reminded me - did I tell you Ken said I could put his entire library up on librarything? It will take me FOREVER, and it will be so much fun.
hello there mon amie! life is great here... i'm so glad i came back early. jason and i got a puppy, and we're trying to live it up when we can. im trying to figure out what i want to do in the immediate future which is causing me some stress, but all is generally good. you? how are yall handling things? well, im sure. the strikes? dont know anything about them and i guess thats ok. i guess its really good that its not interfering with yall. tell your cat i said "bonjour.

bonjour mon amie! ca va? es-tu aussi excite de retourner comme tu pensais? je suis sur que tu es tres contente maintenant. j'espere que ton voyage d'avion n'etais pas trop miserable. tu me manque deja. repondes toute de suite. au revoir
Hey sis, hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving. Mine pretty much sucked with Zander and McKenna both sick, we just stayed home, while Mel struggled with the bird. Ha ha! It was a stubborn one.
Three questions, ma'am. 1) Why is your myspace different? Change makes me scared and angry. 2) What is that little bank slip info thing you provided so you can get paid for the language lab, and how does one obtain his? 3) Rocky Horror anyone? just need to know the date and whether or not costumes are obligatory.
We have all been thinking about you too. I have no social life at the moment. When I'm not working I'm studying or helping Zander with his homework. Just a few weeks til Michael graduates so I will get a mini vacation then. On Oct 25th my friend is staying the night at our house to watch ken and zan while mel and I go to KSU for their homecoming game and then we are gonna hang out in Aggieville and party for a while. I can't wait for that either. I need a break from life. Lol!
We had a surprise birthday/adoption celebration for Zander tonight. You should have seen the look on his face when Mom and Dad brought him home. I think he was a little embarassed. Zander Miller, what a nice name you think?
I love it. The way it is styled I did myself this morning. I'm gonna try and flip it under next and see which I like better. I think the short and sassy one fits my personality a little better though. I'm getting ready to have kenzie help me add some undertones, so it's gonna look even more crazy when Im done with it. Thanks for the compliment.
Suquirrel squirrel squirrel !!!!! i can say this word now (with a tiny french accent okay, but it's better, thx arno, scrubs, leet world and my greek friend^^)
