sarcasm, clever witty retorts, banter, British/ Scottish/ Australian accents, filling out surveys like a mad-woman, Movies (anything but stupid humor frat boy gross out comedies), music (really into bands coming out of UK at present), books (the classics and chick lit), horseback riding, animals (all creatures great and small - except snakes EEK!)
..
Colin Firth!!! (see above you) - actually i have met him, got an autograph and my picture taken but what i would really love to do is sit down and have a conversation with him. However I'd most probably be a blubbering idiot b/c hes so bloody gorgeous and his sexy British accent would lull me into a trance - as well as that brooding stare. Oh geez, I'm a dork.
See my blog for all the fantabulous bands I've been fortunate to see live..and the ones I still want to see.
