all time best acceptance at an awards showI like... stuff
I'm prematurely becoming an 'old' person - my new hobbies are gardening, tending Bonsais, cooking and training my dog Darth hopefully for competitive agility courses...
that's in addition to my total addiction to film and music (seeing, playing, writing, listening). I also collect Marilyn Monroe memorabilia; shoes, hats and handbags(especially 50s style) and the new range of Star Wars Galactic Heroes figurines!

Generally: People who inspire me and challenge me to be a better person. People who I can share love and life and music and places and maybe even one day family with. People who help me to re-grow the little bits of my heart that I've left behind.
