my dog... Sabine, my best friends...the Sweet 8, music... especially going to see good shows, movies... especially the independent variety, booze... nothing in particular pretty much anything but Cheathers are pretty damn delightful, shaking my booty on the dance floor... preferrably to Prince, old Madonna, or 80's new wave, spending time with friends... hopefully the loyal kind, cooking fabulous dinners, playing Halo (it is the ONLY video game that I am somewhat decent at)
People with interesting life stories, pasts, upbringings, etc. In other words, someone I can secretly psychoanalyze while they are telling me their deepest darkest secrets and fears. Nice people who like good music, good movies, good books, and good conversation.
