Movies, surfing, reading, working out, hiking, music, your mom, playing the guitar, making pretty girls laugh, people-watching, and writing
Anyone who has an open mind, a sense of humor, enjoys learning, and has a modicum of sincerity. If you think you fall into any of these categories, allow me to grace you with my witty conversational skills.

The GREAT GATSBY is my all-time favorite followed by ON THE ROAD; anything by Hemmingway; THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER turned me into a weepy little girl and I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit it; Chuck Palahniuk's book HAUNTED has a chapter called GUTS which caused in me the most visceral reaction I've had to anything since the first time I saw the Goatse. photo
F. Scott Fitzgerald - that man could DRINK!, Orson Welles - I admire the fact that he was so dedicated to his art... and eating, Christopher Reeve - I don't think I need to explain why, my grandmother - saved me from myself on more than one occasion and I miss her dearly
