INTERESTS: I like things that usually cost little to no money, and not necessarily b/c I'm broke, but b/c money strips away heart and beauty and meaning...that said, i love people watching, especially the greeting section of the airport. I love cracking up at nothing and sharing a giggle w/ a baby. I love filling up the car with gas, getting my camera, and driving w/ good company and good music to no place in particular. I like striking up conversations w/ people I don't understand and, if I have the opportunity, getting to know them. I love getting really dressed up and then frolicking in sprinklers at night. I love staying in my pj's all day. I love late night conversations about nothing and everything. I love random acts of kindess, the wisdom of kids, and growing vegetables. I love dogs, and I want to get one--a Jack Russel?--Cause I love to play! I also love finding aesthetic beauty in everyone and have dreams of traveling the world doing art and meeting strangers and living on a houseboat in the desert or somewhere in France. Oh, I also want to hike the Great Wall of China and swim w/ Manta Rays (but hopefully not get stabbed by one...)
