Taekwondo, baking (I'm a so-so cook but can bake wicked good treats), being with animals (the furry 4-legged variety), traveling, signing petitions (especially of the animal/nature conservation type), running, cycling, swimming, sprint triathlons, spin classes, hanging with family and friends, being with my sweetie, fostering kittens, camping... and I love karaoke! :)
Interesting people with similar likes and goals, naturally. Religious fanatics and hard-core Republicans need not apply...
Sting, The Police, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Sarah McLachlan, Alana Davis, Angelique Kidjo, Beth Orton, a little Beyonce to spice things up, Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, Dido, The Doobie Brothers old stuff, Gavin DeGraw, George Michael is fun to sing, old Journey, some Madonna (went to her recent concert and it was a blast), Maroon 5, some Nelly Furtado, Pet Yorn, Peter Gabriel, Patty Griffin, old Pointer Sisters, Tori Amos, Train, U2, some White Stripes, some random techno for running and a bunch of other stuff I'm sure I'm missing...
So many it's hard to list 'em.... anything Mel Brooks or Neil Simon, A Leauge of Their Own, 16 Candles, The Jerk, Pink Panther, Moonstruck, The Wedding Singer, old goofy 80s movies, dramas, not too into horror flicks (I scare easily - What Lies Beneath was great but scared the crap out of me), a good old comedy is perfect on a weekend afternoon...
The Simpsons rule!!, Six Feet Under, Emergeny Vets, Animal Precinct, Family Guy, Seinfeld, Cheers, Futurama, Will & Grace, SpongeBob SquarePants, Invader Zim, Dexter's Laboratory, Home Movies on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, what can I say except I like cartoons...
David Sedaris (a total riot!), Patricia Cornwell (writes well, good mysteries), Stiff (very interesting - and sometimes funny - book about death). I tend to read magazines more than books (I don't want to ruin books in the bathtub) and Real Simple and Self are staples of mine...
All of my friends, family and my animal buddies (such as my kitties, Luna and Stella), and people who have the courage to explore who they are and live their lives to the fullest...
