Photography, music, art, tattoos, piercings, psychology, puzzles, animals, sexuality, design.....and on and on.
I love instant connections...people who make the old memories bring butterflies to my stomach...people who make me want to piss myself from laughter ("Oops, I pissed myself!")...those who cause inspiration and passion. People with opinions...people willing to share their opinions...NOT people who practically suffocate others with their opinions.

Eh, not so much. I'll watch it when it's on just because it requires such little thought, but I could definitely live without. You know this is true when I'm lying there cracking up at the BBC channel.
Eva Luna, Demian, and Walk Two Moons are possibly the greatest books I've ever read.
My MOM! I mean, who else could have raised two little monsters to be SO amazing?
And probably Ellen DeGeneres. I can only hope to be so caring, giving, successful, and dynamic when I am her age.
