Music, singing, violin, writing, reading, Feminist Theory, traveling, Monty Python, Arthurian Legends.... and anything highly intellectual and artsy fartsy :-)

The Once and Future King is my favorite book of all time... I love Tolkien, Hunter S Thompson, The Narnia Chronicles, some of them daring beats, some recent winners: Jitterbug Perfume, which was awesome... Prayer for Owen Meany, meh, I likes me some books

The Princess Bride, Amelie, the classic Star Wars trilogy, anything Python, LOTR, Hedwig.... yada yada yada

The Beatles are my boys... but I listen to anything and everything, (except most country and rap) with a concentration in hippie dippie happy music and political folk.

I don't watch TV... but Monty Python's Flying Circus would count for this one I guess:-)

"I prefer to learn everything through music. If you want divinity, the music in every human being and their love for music is pretty much it. It's the big indication of their spirituality and their ability to love and make love, or feel pain or joy, and really manifest it, really be real...you have an Eden immediately from the time you are born, but as you are conditioned by your caretakers and your surroundings, you may lose that original thing. Your task is to get back to it, to claim responsibility for your own perfection." -j. buckley

You called me after midnight
Must have been three years since we last spoke
I slowly tried to bring back
The image of your face from the memories so old
I tried so hard to follow
But didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong
Said "I don't know what I can save you from"
I don't know what I can save you from

I asked you to come over, and within half an hour
You were at my door
I had never really known you
But I realized that the one you were before
Had changed into somebody for whom
I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on
Still I don't know what I can save you from
I don't know what I can save you from
(Kings of Convenience)

"The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are
mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of
everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say
a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous
roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...
~On The Road, Jack Kerouac
