I love to be outside- hiking, fishing, camping, playing sports (softball, volleyball, dodgeball, etc.), really any reason to be outside is good enough for me. I also enjoy reading fiction, writing short stories and painting when I can, knitting, exercising, dancing, board/card games, walking the city, listening to music, seeing plays, watching movies, playing on myspace, perezhilton.com, taking road trips with Joe, being with family, having a good time, and watching games at the stadiums. I love to try new foods but often get stuck eating my favorites. I like to think of food as a hobby of mine; fortunately, so is running
I'm also interested in learning lots of different things, like how to paint and bake better, making furniture, wood working/burning, gardening and cooking better/or at all :). My goals are simple and I like to keep things that way.
I like to meet all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds. No criteria or resume needed- you don't have to impress me to be my friend.

This is what I would watch, if I was ever home any more... Good Morning, Philadelphia. Jeopardy. American Idol. The Office. My Name is Earl. Seinfeld. The Simpsons. Family Guy. Heroes. Entourage. SNL. Mad TV.
I enjoy being entertained. I'm reading beach books now; pretending I'm back home, lying on the beach getting massaged by the sun. Some notable reads... Flannery O'Connor's short stories and Anton Chekov's plays. The Fountainhead and The Tipping Point. The Master Butcher's Singing Club and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. The Time Traveler's Wife and The Memory Keepers Daughter. The Glass Castle and The Road. They're all different and all enlightening.
My parents- for letting their kids in on who they are as people.
