Anything involving food, people and intellectual, metaphysical, spiritual, musical, literary and/or rump-shaking pursuits. Oh, and sex. Sex is always yummy.

But just so y'all know, I'm no longer the equal-opportunity MySpace friend acceptor I used to be. The profile is an extension of my personal space, and I like to interact with everybody here on a personal level. I also hate denying friend requests from people who are sincere. If I don't know or recognize you and you send me an add request, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send a personal message along with it, especially if your profile is private. Let me know what brought you here so I can welcome you with open arms!..
