Books, music, movies, photography, and scrapbooking. Travel, especially when a beach is involved. Yoga--the hotter the better, excellent for whatever ails you.
Intelligent, adventurous people who can make me laugh.
My musical taste varies depending on my mood, but if it's mellow I probably like it. Right now, I'm listening to Jewel, Mandy Moore, The Wreckers, Ben Harper, Indigo Girls, Angie Stone, Jason Mraz, Ben Lee, Emiliana Torrini, Anouk, Joshua Radin, Ane Brun, Janis Ian, Rachael Yamagata, Tracy Chapman, Frou Frou, Poe, The Brand New Heavies, Heather Nova, Enzo Enzo, Rusted Root, Matt Nathanson, Amos Lee, David Gray, John Mayer, KT Tunstall, Lisa Loeb, Maroon 5, Amanda Marshall, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Holly Brook. As for music I still love even though it isn't making my current playlists, there's Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Ray Charles, James Blunt, Jack Johnson, G. Love, and lots of the blues. I also have just about every album that James Taylor ever made.
The Princess Bride is my all-time favorite movie. Other favorites include Big Fish, All of Me, A Fish Called Wanda, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life, Sliding Doors, Garden State, Moonstruck, Hope Floats, Bedazzled, Dirty Love, Never Been Kissed, Shakespeare in Love, Harry Potter, and LOTR. Although I don't tend to like action movies, I am a sucker for Bruce Willis. Not sure what that's about...I also have a weakness for Disney movies. Sleeping Beauty is my favorite, followed by Beauty and the Beast and Robin Hood.
I avoid it whenever possible, but I do watch The Sopranos, Big Love, Entourage, and My Name is Earl.
