People in Chicago! I love the arts, the outdoors, the bars and the dancing. I don't find the party, the party finds me.
Almost anything, and I know everyone says that.
I guess I really like songs I can sing to or dance to for the most part. If it's tragically hip, I'm usually not interested and Emo crap makes me want to puke.
