Theater and acting, acting, acting! Improvisation. Social work with Schizophrenics and Schizoaffectives. Playwriting. Writing grown-up kids books. LAUGHING. Being grumpy. Talking with pleasant people who make me feel at peace. Becoming a competent dancer and martial artist.
God.People who make me laugh. People with minimal road rage. Those who also have a desire for honey and lemons. People with inner peas and common cents.
Everything, even heavy metal and country.
