MUSIC: Guitar, cello, drums, bass, mandolin, piano... girls, biking places, books that make me appreciate life (cause I'm short on the appreciation part very often...) books that depress the shit out of me (it goes well with Cat Power, Elliott Smith and Neutral Milk Hotel)
Other musicians, form other bands (and not just with guys, how come I run into so few girl musicians). Generally artistic people who love music. Also, Emily Haines (she's dreamy), Bob Dylan (he's dreamy), and my real parents...
