Roger Ebert - I trust his movie opinions so much because he's old but he knows when something's marketed to younger audiences if it's good for them or not. I just love reading his blog and reviews and he's a wonderful writer.
Andrew McMahon - I love his voice, obvi, but his strength and sensibility are really cool too.
Adam Young - well, he's just silly.
All 74 people who ever see me online on facebook...you are wonderful. I was considering listing all of you and what I like about you but I realized there are too many of you and you are too wonderful for a short summary each! I could write a novel about most of you and I admire you lots and lots more than you know. I love the differences between us and our commonalities are pretty cool too. And if you never see me online on facebook, either I'm just not online enough (which I'm not) or we should talk more because the more I learn about a person the more I think he or she is amazing in his or her own individual completely unique and beautiful way.
And there are lots of amazing teachers (both formal and informal) in my life who I can't imagine who I would be without, and they're definitely on the list for their own wonderfulness but I feel like I'm rambling now.
I love people.
