Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS I love fantasy. I have an amazing ability to completely lose myself in whatever I am reading. I enjoy Nora Roberts, I love Anne Rice, Anne McCaffrey, Stephenie Meyer, Phillip Pullman(The Golden Compass Trilogy), Christopher Paolini (Eragon & Eldest), and just generally anything the involves a mystical plot line. I occasionally read Stephen King when I can get past the first few chapters... his stuff normally starts out sooooo slow.

MOVIES As far as movies go, I generally lean the same direction as books. With the added ingredient of Drama. I love The Illusionist and The Prestige. I enjoy action flicks, Die Hard, Armageddon, The Rock, The Net. I'm not a huge comedy fan... though I will indulge on occasion when there is nothing else to watch and I'm bored. I love cartoons and watch Disney movies faithfully... Bedknobs and Broomsticks is still a favorite. My most recent favorites are The Spiderwick Chronicles and Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.

MUSIC I am NOT a Christian Music fan and I will not listen to anything I cannot understand due to the amount of screaming involved. I am generally not a huge rap fan either. I enjoy current jazz (Corinne Bailey Rae), Blues/Soul(Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Fiona Apple, Bill Withers) Alternative(Tori Amos, Flyleaf, Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Nickelback, ) Folk Rock (DMB, K's Choice, Blind Melon, Damien Rice, Jack's Mannequin) Classic Rock (bob marley, Pink Floyd, The Doors, CCR, etc.)Some Metal... Some Country... and what I call chick music... Pink, Joan Osbourne, Tristania, The Veronicas. I also like Opera and Musicals. As you can tell my house is NEVER quiet. I don't operate well without Music.

FOOD Love Chinese & Japanese, Love Italian, Love good Mexican food(no taco bell please. :-P) I'm generally not picky except that I DO NOT LIKE SEAFOOD. Other than that I am pretty easy going. Let's see... other dislikes... Beans. Curry. Cottage Cheese. Tofu(EWWW). Lentils. Anything with a gritty texture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There were two things in particular in my life that I found as gigantic accomplishments, aside from "Sleep Deprivation Weeks 1, 2, and 3." The first one is actually represented in my Hall of Fame as a plastic Revolver. I helped one of my friends steal a vibrator and handcuffs for herself. It was just something pretty awsome in my eyes. Another thing made it so I wasn't afraid of anything. I don't know if it actually happened, because, I'll admit it, I was totally sh*tfaced, but it still has impact on me. I, apparently, jumped off of a 4 story parking lot and lived by rolling when I landed. After that, and I'm still not sure that it actually happened, I really wasn't afraid of anything anymore.
Also, traveling to many countries.
