music, dancing around the house singing, reading, going to the movies, playing with my daughter, playing with my dogs, watching Survivor, hiking, swimming (when it's WARM enough), traveling, online Scrabble, singing in my car, singing in my shower, singing while I cook (notice a theme? lol), writing poetry, expanding my musical horizons (I am constantly finding new artists that I love...and in many different genres as well), making lists, meditating, praying, people watching, listening, nature walks, going to Starbucks, getting massages, and laughing (at myself and just in general). Things I admire, strive for, or really enjoy: forgiveness, romance in the rain, slow dancing in the kitchen, snuggling, maintaining my sobriety, watching those really cool electrical thunderstorms, and having a conversation with someone who will look me straight in the eye. I love that.
I'd like to meet:
Friends, musicians, poets, kindred spirits...is this you? I really am NOT looking to get hit on... friendly flirtation is one thing, but um...NO, I am not going to give out my email or IM name so that we can cyber. *rolls eyes* I don't add guys who ONLY have female friends with "ooooh look at me" sexy pics either. Fine for them...it's just not why I'm here. MySPACE, my prerogative. ;)

Television:
Survivor, CSI, anything on E! and The Food Network (I love Iron Chefs), guilty pleasures include Laguna Beach and Making the Band on MTV hahaha (no laughing!), HOUSE M.D. (Hugh Laurie is FABULOUS!), Bones, any show of Gordon Ramsay's, Antique Roadshow, re-runs of Dead Like Me and HUFF...mostly I don't watch much TV. And I wonder daily why we have DISH when they never show decent movies at normal times. ??

Heroes:
Jesus Christ, my angels and saints, my Grandfather, my Mother and Daddy, Stevie Nicks, and the children who battle life-threatening or terminal illnesses like cancer with courage and optimism every day in this world. If you ever lose your grip on hope and determination, just think about what they are facing...I bet it changes your perspective.
