Many many little day to day things: I love to read, write, sing, play piano, watch movies, make fun of intellectuals, have random meandering philosophical conversations that lead to many an unexpected revelation. I love to drive with the windows down and sing at the top of my lungs with my hair flying everywhere : ) I love the beach and the ocean and bodysurfing and taking friends there : ) Wonderful little articles of fun sprinkled everywhere you look :)
People who know who they are : ) And those who love music too!!! Especially singers, 'cuz I love to sing : ) Guitar is a very good thing too 'cause I play piano and I love the sound of the two together with voices and all : )
Jackson Browne, Eagles, Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, Don Henley, Sheryl Crow, and Stevie Wonder above all, then there's Mariah Carey, John Mayer, Dixie Chicks, Norah Jones, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Sarah McLachlan, John David Souther, and my dad A Martinez, then there's Michael McDonald, Kelly Clarkson, Dana Glover, Josh Groban, Michelle Branch, Jewel, and Jonny Lang, and there's Lauryn Hill, James Brown, Marvin Gaye Beatles of course, and Hendrix, and Dave Matthews Band, and Evanescence, and then the Dixie Dregs and Steve Morse and his band who are absolutely outrageous and need to be heard : ) There's more, but these are my absolutes (I have most of their stuff memorized : )

I don't really get time to watch, and I didn't watch a lot when I did have the time, but I almost always watched with my sisters : ) Devon's into Law and Order and CSI and that sort of stuff, not really my cup of tea (I say that, but I never really get up and miss an episode when it's on : ), and Ren's into Degrassi and the-n stuff, but my favorites have always been Gilmore Girls, Full House, Boy Meets World. I hate reality TV in general but it's quite fun to watch just to make fun of what's happening to our culture : ) I'm an avid American Idol fan as well, Kelly is my miracle : )
