Movies, music. reading, writing, traveling,photography, museums, art, admiring things from afar, observing others, being observed, being silly, being serious, laughing when others aren't, teasing, being teased, talking sense, talking nonsense, mocking life and the things others take way too seriously, singing, whistling, ignoring my pervy neighbors, pickles in my tuna, and white chocolate. Love learning languages...right now am gettin fluent in Italian and of course Spanish. And I know a few german words...ya hallo , Ich liebe meine hund. O and I'm getting fluent in Afrikaan, lekker soos a crakker boet! hahaha.
I'd like to meet:
Mmmmm...I'd love to meet Frida Kahlo..but she's dead.
A gorgeous 40 year old with salt and pepper hair, (george clooney) and biceps the size of montana would be great...yea not really. I love having friends from all over. I like to learn about the rest of the world. I think it's the best way to learn a little about yourself as well...so I'm not picky. I have friends of every race, color, religion, background, breed, shoe size, sexual preference, font size, etc..I believe you get the idea.
Music:

Movies:
Oy vey....I like good movies. I can range from very serious, prolific movies to very silly, cheesy ones...so yes I will watch something like Citzen Kane or a Beautiful Mind, but then will also watch the Goonies (truffle shuffle!) and the Neverending story. I love movies that can make me laugh but also movies that are thought provoking. But I'd most probably pass on the chick flicks, those are just much too predictale for me. I also enjoy Independent and foreign films (monsoon wedding, salaam bombay, maria llena de gracia, run lola run were great) Favorite- The Shawshank Redemption.
Television:
Yea, it pretty much sucks here in Lugano. I find myself not watching very much...but I do like travel and discovery channel...I make a list of all the places I'd someday like to visit. O and german porn is fun to watch.
Books:
WAY too many to list..but I enjoy them, and currently am reading The Motorcycle Diaries by Che Guevara.
Heroes:
Would it sound incredibly egotistical to say myself?? Ok then....umm spongebob.
