Hanging out with my family - my husband and our gorgeous daughter Charlotte. But also cooking, travelling, camping, seeing friends, reading, and playing rugby. We recently got back from a trip to the US, Spain, and South Africa. The highlight of South Africa was definitely a side trip to Gansbaai where we dove with Great Whites in the Indian Ocean. One rammed the cage with its teeth and was inches from our faces. Need I say more?
I'd like to meet people with whom I share similar interests. I'm not looking for a hook-up (hello, I'm MARRIED). If you have scantily-clad women on your friends list, you can stop reading right now. That's just sad. Oh, and I definitely don't care about your band.
I'm very picky about the kind of music I listen to - and what I listen to depends completely on what mood I'm in. That being said, currently on high rotation on my MP3 player is: Ben Folds, Missy Higgins, Pete Murray, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, George, Dave Matthews (I like his new, edgier stuff better than his old pop-type stuff), Ladysmith Black Mambazo, freshlyground, G. Love and Special Sauce, Sting, and The Unband (that cute guitarist is my new brother-in-law!). Of course, if I'm on my way to a rugby game and I need psych-up music, all bets are off and it's Marilyn Manson all the way.
If it's got Matt Damon in it, you can't go wrong. Especially if he takes his shirt off.
I watch all the rugby I can handle, even if the Wallabies are pathetic and can't win a game in the TriNations series this year. And I am positively, sadly addicted to LOST.
Middlesex, The Kite Runner, The Time Traveller's Wife, anything Toni Morrison has ever written, What to Expect When You're Expecting, Nickel and Dimed, a little Jodi Picoult if I'm feeling trashy, Alice Sebold
I think everyone should be their own hero.
