Good food, good wine, dirty (or as I like them, filthy) martinis, reading, listening to music, being with friends and family, laying out in the sushine, being in nature, laughing, random road trips, cooking, and I love watching sports. How can you possibly list all your interests here? ;)
Hmm... not necessarily people who I'd like to meet, but the people who I wish I could see again to spend more time with are: my Papa, my friend Freddie, and all my other "angels" who were taken too soon. People who I would like to meet are ones who enjoy hanging out, relaxing, having a good time, and who enjoy great conversations. People who challenge me intellectually, and can still make me laugh. "That" person who is as free spirited and loving as I am. Who is as willing to spend their Sunday afternoon enjoying the day,and each others company, listening to great music, and loving life and everything around them. "THE ONE" who doesn't judge others by their weakness' but instead is willing to help strengthen them.
I love all types of music. Bob Marley, James Taylor, Van Morrison, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Steve Miller Band, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, Buffalo Springfield, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Scorpions, Guns-N-Roses, Def Leppard, Poison (ya, I said it), Tesla, Journey, Stone Temple Piolets, Violent Femmes, Sublime, Lagwagon, Rancid, Hepcat, Incubus, Jimmy Buffet, Tom Petty, Tori Amos, BB King, Etta James, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra
This list could go on and on... I'm currently reading Wicked (saw the play and it was AMAZING!), and just finished Rage To Survive: The Etta James Story,and Hippie. I love to read, so I'll read just about anything, but a few of my favorites are: Angels and Demons, The Devinci Code, Of Mice And Men, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.
My dad. He's the most amazing man I've ever met. I can tell him anything. He never judges me, always supports me, always loves me, and among so many other things, he can always make me laugh. My Nanny and my Uncle Charlie. They are two of the easiest people for me to talk to. They always make me laugh, they're always here for me, and they always make me feel incredibly loved. I can't even begin to put into words the amount of love I have for these two people. My nephews and nieces... Although they're young, they have had more impact on my life than they will ever be able to comprehend. My few close girlfriends. You know who you are. I wouldn't have made it through all of the most difficult things in my life if it hadn't been for these women. All of these people have taught me about the person I want to be, have encouraged me, inspired me, have continuously shown me that I am stronger than I give myself credit for, and have loved me unconditionally. Every soldier who has ever fought for us, and those who continue to fight for all of us everyday...
