art, art, art.....painting, sketching, and art.... also if it doesn't interest you, most likely i'm interested in it. actually, that will make it MORE interesting. also, making people laugh. and then making fun of how they laugh. :) or just picking on people in general. but as my nearest and dearest know, if i'm nice to you, you're not on the "A" list. :) if you are on your deathbed, and i love you, the last words you hear will most likely be something horribly sarcastic and ALMOST mean. and i WILL laugh at your funeral. and if i go before you, please, PLEASE, laugh at mine.
"I laugh because I must not cry." Abraham Lincoln.
Music
anything that rocks. nothing that whines. okay okay, every so often i get in an extreme mood that calls for whiny music. but whatever. don't judge me!
i love ska. i love metal. i love alternative. i love good old rock'n'roll. i love grunge, punk, acid rock, and all that hippie 70's music. i love blues, jazz, classical, opera. i will tolerate some forms of techno. i will NOT tolerate country. especially when i'm driving. and to all of these listed, there are exceptions.
Movies
anything funny. favorite movie: office space -- i LIVED that movie. benny and joon -- i identify just a little too closely with joon... what's eating gilbert grape -- "i didn't want to be a joke." :) fools rush in -- just because. dogma. clerks. road trip. i like a little mind-numbing entertainment every so often...so why dontcha go ahead and try?
Television
CSI. the only show i watch. ok i really don't even watch that anymore. no i don't think tv is bad, i just prefer to paint. but i do tend to veg out to Family Guy or Scrubs every so often...and verrrryyy occasionally i'll tune into Ghost Whisperer (refer to mind-numbing entertainment, above) or Grey's Anatomy.
Books
anything at all by anne rice. i have read and loved each and every book she has written, under any name. working on building my collection. *hint hint, holidays happen every year...*
but i will read anything i can get my hands on. and i tend to re-read. a LOT. i love Terry Goodkind, Dan Brown, Dean Koontz, and James Patterson. i want stories that will take me out of my world and into a completely different one. i insist on never starting in the middle of a series; MUST start at the beginning! one of the most interesting books i read recently was Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a compilation of records having to do with the bloodline of Christ. also loved Dan Brown's Deception Point. have you read it? it could really happen! :)
Heroes
me. ;) i tend not to have heroes; i don't like disappointment...
let's all try to remember, even the best heroes are only human. well, except superman. *sigh* what i mean to say is, "hero" is a very heavy title. it carries with it expectations that cannot always be met. and i don't want to lay that burden on anyone.

Who I'd like to meet: no one. everyone i need is already in my life. leave me alone!!!
ok just kidding. anyone with a real sense of humor and an open mind. :) and all my old friends i've lost touch with...! and anyone with knowledge of Fi.
and i would also like to peek into the afterlife for just a day or so and have a good long chat with mitch hedberg. mitch, i promise to bring the sunchips! :)
Ha! Yup. How the hell am I supposed to recommend a book based on "I've been playing guitar for about seven months now." He could either be really awesome or really fucking bad. And I'm not even a guitarist!
