Eros (éros)
1) Passionate love, with sensual desire and longing
2) The sum of all instincts for self-preservation.
Cooking, reading, writing (and pretending I'm good at it!), having big dinners with my friends, travelling (especially on a whim), family dinners, horseback riding, going places I shouldn't (especially haunted places....especially at night), shopping, spending time with my best friend, sex, dancing (swing, salsa, skanking, moshing, you name it), going to see live music, being drunk in public, playing pool, winning at pool, driving around with no particular destination, harassing student drivers, protesting/ranting/telling off senators and being blocked from calling their offices, driving really fast, walking through the woods, meditating, sitting on my mom's porch swing early in the morning on a summer day, making a general fool of myself and not caring, having breakfast at Mom's Diner after a particularly crazy night.
Wales, rugby, pub crawls, linguistics, litarature, politics, cinema, directing, singing, drinking, smoking, symbology, mysticism, astrology (been doing it since I was 10), humanitarianism, torture & execution (studying it, not doing it...), parapsychology, abnormal psychology and extra sharp cheddar cheese.
And new to the list: Pennsic War
No one. I know way too many people as it is.
