i enjoy....being crafty (painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, photoshop, beading, collage, etc, etc, etc....), being the queen of burps, eating soft baked pretzels drizzled with butter and garlic, doing anything involving the red hot chili peppers, running, learning to play guitar, finding cheap shit to do in nyc (or anywhere for that matter), knitting, the memories that are found in old school crappy pop, bargain shopping, baking cookies, learning everything i can about buddhism, meditating my life away, having out of body experiences, being absolutely and totally rediculous, having MEANINGFUL great sex, using chopsticks, listening to THE POPCORN SONG until it makes me dizzy, eating 3 boxes of orange tic tacs at once, jamming out to funk music, taking pictures of things that make no sense, walking over bridges, driving through tunnels, wasting time on places like myspace that are making the world a better place for your everyday stalker, melting into the sand, setting the mood with lights, eating cheese, being girly all of the time, being ladylike some of the time, making insane videos of my friends and i, spending way too much time on youtube, the fuzzy feeling i get from random phone calls from people telling me that they're thinking about me, being naked, causing trouble, causing naked trouble, munching on cheese and peanut butter crackers forever and a day, doing yoga when im not too lazy, singing, sleeping, playing old school super nintendo, drinking, waking up in the arms of a lover, shopping more than i'm supposed to, drunk dialing, experimental cooking, doing things for the people i love, getting tattoed, being obsessed with everything french, licking melted peanut butter, discovering new erotic art, learning everything i can about home theatre, pondering life's unanswered questions, eating mac 'n' cheese with extra milk, collecting metrocards, finding new music that is so powerful it makes me cry, breathing in the sunshine, realizing the beauty in everyday life, embracing the people around me, being genuine, loving with every ounce of my being........shunning the non-believers
