Anything to do with art (i.e. painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, etc.), playing soccer, snowboarding, reading, writing, playing videos, watching movies, doing stupid things with friends, singing really loud in my car, and rocking like nobodys business.
Any of the artistic greats like Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Picasso, etc. that I tend to draw a lot of my inspirations from. I want to meet the guys from Mxpx Someday, they have had so much influence on my life and how I view music. I would also like to meet the "love of my life" someday because I know he is out there...

Anything by Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, Jeffery Deaver, Robin Cook, Chuck Palanuik and Stephen King. The House Of Leaves was one of my favorite books that I have read recently. I will usually read anything I can get my hands on.
I don't believe in idolizing certain people because I believe one should create their own path, rather than follow in the footsteps of.
