I like blue things. Also: writing, reading, movies, music, traveling the world. I hate Long Island. I like Cuba, art, theatre, postcards, the Pulitzer Prizes, cats, languages, hiking, running, swimming, yoga, spinning, softball, gymnastics, bicycling, documentaries, peace, the Oscars, karaoke, New Orleans, drinking, geography, being from Out West, the desert, oceans, energy sources, rain, enchiladas.
Someone who can take as much as I give.
