Painting, art history, androgeny for myself and others (LOVE IT), experimental cooking, people watching (especially ones with strange body types that seem to defy nature), harry potter world, thinking, flying, other cultures (and creatures), paradox, bonding (that's for you, NFTY-GER), cheating at board games, shopping, Growing things. Ethnic music and dance, materials from different parts of the world. color. touch. taste. smell. sound. i like my senses. Especially since i got my ears cleaned.

That includes all kinds of country music, folk, rock, hip hop, world music in general- israeli, indian, japanese, some classical, metal, 80s, ska, punk.Golden Oldies.
