"...I'm not like the girls that you've known, but I believe I'm worth coming home to..."

10 Artists That Have Influenced Me

John Mayer: I just love his voice. I love his lyrics. He plays a mean guitar. And he looks like a bird when he sings.

Queen: My favorite 80s band. There would probably be more Queen songs on the soundtrack to my life than any other band.

Ingrid Michaelson: I love her voice. Duh. Her version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" will be my first wedding dance.

Tori Amos: Crazy, creative, colorful woman.

The Format: The Format is my depressing music. When I am in a crappy mood, they're the only band I want to listen to. They remind me of Michael Davis.

Jack's Mannequin: Jack's Mannequin puts music to my love life. It's like he took his lyrics out of my life, as high school as that sounds.

Lindsay McCall: If I was on a desert island, and I could only listen to one artist, it would be her.

A Fine Frenzy: I love her music, but I love it more because of her. She's just bubbly.

Mae: Mae is just inspiration.

Regina Spektor: Ah, Regina. You are so weird.

10 Movies That Have Influenced Me

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: This movie makes me believe in fate. And in not being able to help who you fall in love with.

Clementine: "This is it Joel. Its going to be gone soon."
Joel: "I know"
Clementine: "What do we do?"
Joel: "We enjoy it"

The 10th Kingdom: This movie made it okay to still believe in magic.

Wolf: "Forgive us noble woodsman but have you seen a gorgess girl with very long hair?"

Woodsman: "I havn't seen anything, I'm blind."

Tony: "A blind woodsman?"

Woodsman: "Have you ever seen a tree move?"

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist: I think I could watch this movie every day and not get sick of it. And find something new and funny every time.

Nick: "I think we both said somethings we didn't mean... like when you broke up with me... on my b-day."

What Happens in Vegas: Come on, Ashton Kutcher? Need I say more?

Dave the Bear: "Do you even know how to drive an automatic?"

The Family Stone: I love the family dynamic. Makes me love my family. The parents in that have the kind of understanding I want to have with my own children someday.

Ben Stone: "Hey, I'm here, I'm queer, get used to it."

Amelie: This movie makes me love Paris.

Amelie: "It's better to help people then garden gnomes."

The Fountain: This movie makes it okay to have girl crushes. Rachel Weisz is so gorgeous in this movie. Breathtaking.

Isable: "Together we will live forever."

Mean Girls: My most quoted movie.

Short Girl: "Hey get out of here!"

Damian: "Oh my God Danny DeVito I love your work!"

Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2: For about two years, it was the only movie I ever wanted to watch... and did watch, about three times a day. I had posters, swords... Not my proudest moment.

O-Ren: "You didn't think it would be that easy did you?"

The Bride: "You know, actually for a second there, ya i did."

O-Ren: "Silly Rabbit.."

The Bride: "..trix are.."

O-Ren: "...for Kids"

Away We Go: I don't own it YET, but they have the kind of love that I want to have. It's so real. Just the way he talks about their future... It doesn't hurt that it's also John Krasinski.

Burt: "Do you promise to let our daughter be fat or skinny or any weight at all? Because we want her to be happy, no matter what. Being obsessed with weight is just too cliche for our daughter."

Verona: "Yes, I do. Do you promise, when she talks, you'll listen? Like really listen, especially when she's scared? And that her fights will be your fights?"

Burt: I do. And do you promise that if I die some embarrassing and boring death that you're gonna tell our daughter that her father was killed by Russian solidiers in thie intense hand-to-hand combat in an attemp to save the lives of 850 Chechnyan orphans?"

Verona: "I do. Chechnyan orphans. I do. I do.

Things i am LOVING about 2010

2009 was a great year, but i am not interested at all in dwelling in the past, these are my favorite things so far about this new year.....

Was forced (not against my own will) to watch and love House.

Started a Kick Boxing class with Crystal.... we plan on busting some moves.

I love love love that Finley can smile and interact with every one, i love the way her head fits just perfectly under my chin as she sleeps for four hours straight. I love her fuzzy hair, i love that her eyes are the same color as mine, I love her face when she gets in the warm water at bath time, I just love everything about her.

I read the BEST book in about 2 days because i couldn't put it down, Its called The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder, by Rebecca Wells. She also wrote the Ya-Ya sister hood and Little Altars everywhere. This book made me laugh out loud, it made me cry to the point of shaking and haggard breathing, and yes i know how cliche that sounds. I will be buying this book as soon as possible and reading it over and over again. If you have the chance READ it ASAP.

On the same topic of books i got my somewhat illiterate (love ya) roommate Miss Kate to read! and here is the kicker.... SHE actually enjoyed it!!!
Onto movies... oh so many i have watched and loved and its only been 2 weeks in.... i have narrowed it down and i have decided that my two favorite of the year (again so far) have to be Away We Go, with John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph and 500 Days of Summer staring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.
