My Interests

Tennis, reading, music, surfing the net, trying new things, languages, diving. I feel badly I haven't been studying my French! Too much tennis. ;)

If you truly love yourself
you will never hurt another.

Movies:

Last I saw at the theatre: Borat and Casino Royale. Loved them! I've been watching more stuff on the Internet, like Battlestar Gallactica and currently Lost.

Television:

I watch a lot of tennis...current shows I may watch if I'm doing nothing: Heroes, CSI, Medium, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Numbers, American Idol (although I think they lie about whether someone is good or not, which is disengenuous of them).

Books:

I've read all of the Michael Connelly books, most recently Overlook. I'm currently reading: Thérèse Raquin by Zola, The Other Side of the Story by Marion Keyes, The Good Husband of Zebra Drive by Alexander McCall Smith, and Winning at Doubles by Stan Smith.

Heroes:

My sister (She's an Ironman!), Roger Federer...but there are many good people I admire, too...too many to name...maybe Serena Williams, Maria Sharipova, Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova, Andre Agassi, James Blake...they're all fighters, people who never give up and keep pushing forword. I admire all of you!
