Movies, concerts, organizing, endorphins, making people think, singing and dancing, the news, late night cheeseburgers, social commentary, stand-up, assholes, constant search for next thing with which to become obsessed, traveling, thinking of my original idea, constantly confounding critics, swimming in downtown standard pool in my undies, craving motorcycles
Favorite Music:
Coldplay, Radiohead, Keane, Killers, Snow Patrol, Howie Day, Pete Yorn, Ryan Adams, Tchaikovsky, 80's movie ballads especially those by David Foster, Any movie score by James Horner, Apparently music by very pale men, usually British. and all the new fantastic Brit bands that my adorable London pal has turned me onto like Dirty Pretty Things and Razorlight.
Favorite TV Shows:
Grey's Anatomy, Nightly News with Brian Williams, The Daily Show, House, Nip/Tuck, Sex and the City, Ali G, Murphy Brown, Golden Girls, and obviously Seinfeld, Boston Legal (the only legal show I like: "All it takes for evil people to succeed is for one person to say, 'Its a business.'")
Favorite Movies:
Scent of a Woman, Dead Poet's Society, Wedding Crashers, St. Elmo's Fire, Top Gun, Six Degrees of Separation, Field of Dreams, The Sound of Music, A Few Good Men, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Harold and Kumar, The Big Chill, Pretty Woman, The American President, Pride and Prejudice A & E version, Anything written by Charles Kauffman, Whit Stillman, and Noah Baumbach, Elf, Steel Magnolias, Good Will Hunting, Jerry Maguire, too many to list

About Me:
They have black current at King's Head!! And the dart boards are completely open on weekdays at 2pm:) apparently i'm opinionated. apparently. i hate stupid people. except really hot stupid people--they're okay. Rule No. 5: You're an idiot. Skydiving was not scary, but great white shark cages will be. new rule: never date a guy who drives slower than me. that may cancel out 99% of guys... sometimes i quote myself. last week i was driving on the 10 and for a few minutes i swear i smelled pot. i would rather someone disagree with me and be hatefully wrong than have no opinion. i have no respect for apathy, vegans, atheists, or tiny dogs (minus pomeranians). Stranger Than Fiction is already my new favorite movie. i am too honest. i try as hard as i can not to be. obviously not hard enough. ha ha hard. i have the maturity of a 9 year old boy. i think i'm a simple girl. i seem to get sucked into intense conversations with coc addicts and intellectual blonde hedge fund boys. i don't mean to, but it's like heroin to pete doherty...it just finds him. i'm kind of mundanely extreme. i am good at hiding my ocd. i know the meaning of life. it's all too simple. i believe in having a voice. so i write to everything and everyone--congressmen, governors, senators, presidents, organizations, crazy right wing websites, news organizations, la times columnists, clothing companies, etc. we have to take responsibility, so why not start with ourselves. i want my life to be a killers opera.
