I'm having a tough time with this one! I honestly think I have lost myself along the way--suppressed my true self. I don't know who I am or what I want to do when I grow up.
I am a musician, with a music degree. I don't play (clarinet) anymore, but I still sing (community choral stuff). I've always wanted to learn to paint. Always wanted to braid rugs and quilt and stuff like that. I loved crafts as a kid. I also liked to collect poetry/song lyrics in a journal. I liked calligraphy and photography. Now I enjoy scrapbooking. And, I'm a genealogy nut. (Not that that's particularly related here.)
I think beauty and aesthetics are important to me. Music and poetry/lyrics can be very moving to me. I love color, although you wouldn't know it to look at my white walls. I love flower gardens, but find gardening to be too much work. I think orderliness is important, but my house can be quite messy at times. My last WOH job was as a corporate librarian, yet I don't think I'm terribly organized (although I really was on the job).
Favorite movie...not sure. I like Sense and Sensibility. I don't think I've ever seen Wuthering Heights! I enjoyed reading Jane Eyre as a teen. I also love romantic comedies. My favorite of that genre is probably "French Kiss." I loved Kevin Kline in that movie. And I'm a bit of a francophile. Actually this reminded me that I love French music from the Romantic period--Debussy, Faure, Satie.
