My little quirky obsessions: Music (I'm very into alternative right now, but also enjoy hip hop/rap, classic rock, country, pop, 80s, indie, etc.), politics, PAC-10 football/basketball (top three favorites - in no particular order: U of O, the Huskies, and U of A), art (creating and observing it), classic cars, shoes, Jamba Juice, France, crisp fall days, lemonade, driving in the summer time in the Willamette Valley (especially the smell of the mint fields), PF Changs, scarves, surfing/ snowboarding/ skateboarding (to watch, not do).My priorities: Eating, sleeping, my career, my family, and having fun with friends.
