Anyone that has good, positive energy and is doing something cool with it.

Hmnn..a hero-- I guess my Mom is my hero because she has been through so much suffering as a child and chose to embrace the beauty in life as opposed to the sadness. Her dad ran off when she was 4, her mom was killed by a drunk driver when she was 5 and her brother has been in state hospital ever since. She basically raised herself and has an amazing, strong disposition. She is also an advocate for mental rights and writes children stories. She's got it figured out and is always happy.

I love Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, which is a Christmas Eve ritual for our family.
Favorite Movie of the summer thus far: Wall-E, then Iron Man.

It's been a busy year--getting married, relocating, traveling for work and now new job. TV doesn't fit in, EXCEPT for a couple of shows that I make fit in: Lost & Heroes. Okay...and the Office, sometimes. On HBO I like Flight of the Concords, Curb your enthusiasm and entourage.

David Sedaris books (loved Me Talk Pretty One Day), I like the fountainhead, Tom Robbins (especially jitterbug perfume) Orson Scott Card, Purpose Driven Life, C.S. Lewis, the entire Harry Potter Series. Most recently I've read Sedaris-Engulfed in Flames, Marley & Me....and am currently reading and loving The Shack.
