Cooking, reading, writing, a wide variety of music (listening & creating), swing, D/s, going to the zoo and taking pics, watching and listening to the waves, visiting the mountains just to have some quiet time, gardening, drawing/painting, digital photography, hanging out in coffeehouses and bullshitting, piercing, tattoos, and other body mods, being silly, occasionally drinking with gay boys, rollercoasters, water fights, discovering what makes people tick, making new friends, loving old friends, hugging my stepdaughter, play piercings, crops, and finding a good, cheap restaurant.

My stepdaughter, Zoe, for facing her fears on a daily basis. My friend Juanita for revelling in herself and not being ashamed of it. My friend Vanessa, for always trying to find the best in everyone and encouraging it to come out. My grandmother...for being a bleeding-heart liberal in the middle of Nebraska! My brother...for always doing all he can to do the right thing. And oh so many folks...
