MUSIC, MUSIC and oh ya, MUSIC! I love going to as many concerts as possible because I love all sorts of music. My job is getting paid to booze & schmooze so I can't complian about that. I also love to read books. Cooking for other people, skinny guys (no I'm not kidding, I like 'em skinny), a good head of hair and a good heart, travelling outside the States, real people, tattoos, eyeliner, makeup and piercings, thunderstorms, museums & art shows, music, eating ice cream in bed, and just "talking." I love seeing movies, skateboarding at the beach, running, kickboxing, boulder scrambling in the desert, hiking, snow skiing, most video games or board games (drunk Jenga is the best), drinking, hanging with my friends, TV, shopping (I'm such a GIRL sometimes) learning to play drums!
I dunno, some cool friends. Or maybe a stranger in a dark alley.

Anything by Stephen King, current novels like The Da Vinci Code, classics, sex books (I recommend the Ultimate Guide to Sex), cookbooks, books about serial killers, Books like "How to Cut up and Design Your Own Rock n Roll T-shirt", "Found" which is a book about real life found persona/private/thrown away objects, PostSecret which is real life secrets of people.My Mom has a tendency to buy me stupid books like "The Rules" which supposedly tells you "how to snag a man" but really it was annoying, I don't like playing games with people. I also bought that shitty fucking book "He's just not that into you." This is quite possibly the most hurtful book i've ever read. I personally don't recommend it to any woman. Supposedly it lets you know what a guy is really thinking but I think it's bullshit.Currently reading: Hunter S. Thompson (thanks Steve), PostSecret (thanks Chad) and history of CBGB's (thanks CJ).
"my heroes have always been cowboys." Ok so Willie Nelson said that! I can't think of too many specific hereos, just people I admire: people whose words match their actions, people who don't play games, honest people, and amazingly talented musicians.
