5 things I wished I liked....

but don't.


1. high heels; they look great...make me taller...and are just so feminine. but, i can't seem to walk in them. alas, if i'd been born like barbie i wouldn't need high heels at all.



2. going out; i'm a homebody. i like to stay in my casa and pretty much not interact with anyone if at all humanly possible.

3. seafood; i try it every now and again just to see if i like it, but hasn't happened yet.



4. the beach; florida was wasted on me! sand, ick, sand, ick, sand............ick. but truthfully, i love looking out at the waves and smelling the ocean air. if only i could find a way to be hovered in lol.

5. yogurt; ugh, can't stand it. why? no idea.

10 favorite movie scores....


1. Lord of the Rings; excellent theme. actually, several excellent themes within this score. (Howard Shore)

2. The Bourne Identity series; a little techno action....kind of fun to work out to, lol. (John Powell)

3. Schindlers List; so moving, the strings...the strings! John Williams is one of my favorite composers of all time. In fact, he makes my list several times.

4. Memoirs of a Geisha; Yo yo Ma on the cello...need i say more? (John Williams)

5. Star Wars; this theme rocks. so much energy! i'm not usually for horns, but it really works here. (John Williams, see what I mean?)

6. Robin Hood Prince of Thieves; again, horns here and some really beautiful strings. also for the witch, a really creepy violin . it works on so many levels. (Michael Kamen)

7. Gladiator; enya does part of this score...when he's moving through the wheat, you know what I'm talking about? her voice sounds so ethereal. (Hans Zimmer)

8. Emma; this is one of two really light-hearted scores on my list. simple and sweet i think. also, this one is written by a woman....who'd a thunk.(Rachel Portman)

9. Howl's Moving Castle; a new favorite for me. a happy little waltz....unique and fun. (Joe Hisaishi)

10. Final Fantasy X; i cheated here, because this is a game...not a movie. but it's my list, so my rules lol. i love love love love this music. it is all over the map...which makes it so great! (Masashi Hamauzu)
