Great food: nice restaurants and cooking interesting dishes at home. Listening to music and going to concerts (lots this year!) Outdoor activities. I'm the girliest girl in the city if I'm going out, the classic tomboy if I feel like ordering pizza and drinking beer with a movie at home or playing a game of pool, and a total nature freak going camping and doing 25km hikes through the mountains or going whitewater rafting. I'm very easy to please if you make SOMETHING of an effort.
Mostly just keep in touch with people I already know, but I'm open to anyone friendly!Especially if your band has good music.
All kinds. Mostly alternative and "modern rock" but with a healthy dose of country and definitely most (not all) Top-40 club hits - they remind me of fun nights out or at work. LOVE the local music scene these days and I'd go to a concert for the Murder City Sparrows, Tupelo Honey, Social Code, 10 Second Epic, Smoothride, and many more EVERY day if I could. I used to have written here: "Anything August isn't quite local (Kelowna) but totally worth checking out - Calvin, you're gonna make it big one day!" but NOW I can say "hah I told you so!" cause he's the drummer for Faber Drive who is awesome so GOOD JOB CALVIN!!! Really enjoyed the Taking Back Sunday, Snow Patrol, Taste of Chaos, the Killers, Warped Tour, Keith Urban, Brand New, Foo Fighters, Finger Eleven, etc etc concerts I've been to. I love Angels and Airwaves, AFI, System of a Down, All-American Rejects, Boy Hits Car, Billy Talent, Arcade Fire, 30 Seconds to Mars, Linkin Park, oh so many I can't think of them. I'm quite fond of Live, too, mostly because of their kickass music but partly cause they were super nice and down to earth when I got to party with them after their concert a couple years ago.
The newest Peter Pan (with Jeremy Sumpter), The Notebook, Family Man with Nick Cage, old Indiana Jones movies, old Disney movies, classic movies and movies with subtitles, any animated movie made for kids and their parents - complete with jokes that kids are not supposed to get (Madagascar, anyone?) I also love biting satire. Borat and Farenheit 911 and any other strongly political and politically incorrect satire...Team America World Police and Tropic Thunder...
Don't really watch much TV. I do, however, love Prison Break to season 2 (Wentworth, yummmm) and Sex and the City / Desperate Housewives have their moments if/when I ever watch them. Nanny 911 and Wife Swap thoroughly entertain me and I can't get over some of the things that go on in those shows. Cooking shows rock.
The Lovely Bones was pretty intense. Really liked Life of Pi (but who didn't?) and The Vinyl Cafe books are great collections of short chapters/stories. For extreme scandal, "Other Boelyn Girl" was quite the page turner.
My grandmothers. Period. Both for different reasons, but I cannot imagine my childhood without them. They are so, so strong and smart and kindhearted, wonderful people. I hope one day I have the relationship my Mémé and Pépé had: they held hands and teased each other and laughed together after 50 years of marriage.
