I enjoy lots of things. Reading, acting, watching ABC soaps with my handmade quilt and a can of Hansen's Raspberry. Art and culture are HUGE passions of mine. I really like to go into the city and see what festivals are going on, free concerts, things like that. I've recently gotten interested in learning different things to cook to increase my culinary repetoire.
