Writing, reading, cooking (I've been on a soup kick for three years), making useful things of wood, painting, gardening (though I am kinda lousy at it), hanging out with my hubby, hanging out with my dog, spending time with friends, shopping, talking, and laughing about all that is.
I'd like to meet:

Movies:
Elf, The Wedding Singer, Shawshank Redemption, Usual Suspects, SUPERTROOPERS, Royal Tannenbaums, Life Aquatic, Harry Potter, Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil - the book was amazing; Fight Club - this book was also mucho better than the movie (book by Chuck Palahniuk; read his others, too - holy smokes); High Fidelity (& anything (almost) with John Cusak -- Serendipity? Hated it!); The Three Amigos (still makes me laugh... "Will you kiss me on the veranda? "Okay, but I'd rather kiss you on the mouth.") American Beauty, The Pianist, Frankie & Johnnie, Groundhog Day, Matrix, Life or Something like it, Scrooged, ...and John Wayne Bobbit Uncut (just kidding).
