In case you're dying to know, I am interested in the following (this is not an exhaustive list): softball (16 inch and regular), writing (fiction and screenwriting), painting (oils), acting, improv, reading, shopping, playing games, yoga, swimming, cycling, grammar, and sitting in LA traffic. (Sadly, I do this last one more than I do most of my other hobbies.) I used to play the flute and collect erasers. That was before I hit junior high and became what I like to refer to as 'cool'. Thank you.
Arteeests: Writers, actors, filmmakers, musicians, oragami craftspersons...All of ya

Okay, I have a confession to make. No one knows about this but Steve. Here it goes... I seriously LOVE the Nanny 911/Supernanny shows as well as the wife swapping shows. I'm this close to rearranging my schedule to catch these programs each week. For some reason I really enjoy watching crazy families try to get their shit straight. Maybe it's for lack of drama in my own childhood. I watch other stuff too, but it's all normal. Like Lost. What a snooze compared to wrangling a tantrum-throwing two-year-old into the naughty chair over and over and over! haha!!
Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Once I consider myslef well-read I'll get back to you on this one. I'm a writer. I know. It's sad. I'm trying though. I currently have about eight books checked out from the library and I'm telling myself I'm going to read them all before they're due.
