Goals and dreams: attend Disneyland�s Gay Days (going this October!), go to the Michigan Womyn�s Festival, find a career that helps to make the world a better place, make a movie, see Chris Pureka live, run for politics or run a campaign, go on an Olivia Cruise, check out Sundance, never stop volunteering and lots of other stuff I can�t think of right now.
Cool people I�ve met: Jeremy Fisher, Tegan and Sara Quin, Gob, Uwe Boll, Kate Reid, Bette Midler, Fefe Dobson, Maren Ord, Ferron, Lillix (first two line-ups), Mariana�s Trench, Tanya Tagaq, Kinnie Starr and a lot of local actors, bands and other people you�ve probably never heard of but really should know about.
Strongly dislike:
- People who don't vote and blame it on the system being corrupt or ineffective. You're just lazy and apathetic. Make a statement and spoil your ballot on election day, otherwise it's just an excuse. And if you don't vote, you better never, ever complain about anything that the government does.
- I have a problem with hard drugs or hardcore addictions to soft drugs.
- Morons who use the word 'gay' to mean stupid. Not only does it make you look like an ignorant fool, it doesn�t even make sense.
- If you think you're really mature, you're probably not.
- People who spend a lot of time complaining about drama. Look, it's pretty simple that if you're getting sucked into it all the time, you've been causing or involving yourself in stupid shit. It's not the fault of some mysterious drama goblin who just dropped a shroud of ridiculous arguments on your head, okay?
- Spiders. I hate spiders.
- The Who�s Baba O'Riley, because it seems to be everywhere lately. You know the 'teenage wasteland' song. I have no problem with the it specifically, but it was played at a friend�s funeral after he took his own life and I haven�t been able to disconnect the two since. I wish the resurgence would end.
- The 24 hours in a day. I could really use about 10 more.
- People with no manners or understanding of politeness. Is that hard to hold a door? Give up your seat for an old lady? I hate you.
- Subtitled movies. I want to like them, but I just don�t.
- When they subtitle people speaking English with heave accents on television, that bothers me.
