Tennis, running, my dog, beach camping, spinning, music, shows/concerts, Guiness, pubs, movies, painting, reading and fun! I love the beach, I love the outdoors. I love my family and wish I saw them more. I love art, concerts, music, writing, people who like animals, the Steelers, boys, kissing, and having fun.
I'd like to meet:
Friends from the past and new friends here in NC.
Music:
Where do I begin? Literally every kind that exists. I can play piano, so I love the classics. My favorite all time group is the Beastie Boys - which is almost tied with Sublime. My very first concert was NKTOB (relax, I was 9). My next concert was the Ramones. I can chill now because I have seen the Rolling Stones in concert. Now if one of them dies(yeah right), I will have seen a live show. I do own a Brittany Spears CD (don't judge me), but also have every Guns N Roses CD ever made. It sits right next to my ODB and Tribe CD. You see where I'm going with this, right? Thanks to someone special my new favorite band of all time just might be the Black Keys.
Movies:
All time - High Fidelity with the Breakfast Club coming in a close 2nd. Wedding Crashers I loved, Swingers, Rudy, Shawshank Redemption, Momento, John Hughes anything, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Top Gun, etc., etc.,...there are so many.
Television:
Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, the Hills, Gilmore Girls reruns, Colbert Report....Steeler football, Duke basketball, and pretty much any reality tv. Shhh, don't tell anyone.
Books:
Whatever is put in front of me, litterally. Some of my favorite reads are Bringing Down the House, Angela's Ashes, House of God, She's Come Undone, Anyting by Jodi Piccoult, Nicholas Sparks, and Sydney Sheldon, Catcher in the Rye, the Good Earth and People magazine. I read voraciously. Thanks Grandpa.
