They are too many to list them all, so I won't list any of them! 
It doesn't necessarily have to be a well known school of philosophy.

The Unifying Force is one that I am drawn towards. Along with Hakuna Matata and Epicureanism. Possibly even Taoism.
Yes, I'm serious.

Can't do without Marxist critical theory, but as far as living my life goes, I'm a practicing Stoic with Epicurean influences. (My fellow Stoics don't approve.  )

Platonism does not seem that bad. Stoicism seems nice but it is very demanding.

Tend to agree with Epicurus a lot, but I don't believe in subscribing to a philosophy as people subscribe to a religion, there are a lot of philosophers who raises interesting points or ideas. I at a stretch could describe myself maybe as a Hitchensian  | | | |

The same for me. As for Epicurus, what bothers me is its opposition to public involvement, which I find detrimental to a society. But as for Hitchens, I guess that he is more an hedonist than an Epicurean.
