Making life an adventure. I wish life was more like a musical, and people would spontaneously burst into song and dance more often than they do. I love dessert and driving holidays. Storms. Dogs. Wit is highly prized in my family. I need mountains, the ocean and solitude. I dream of having all three at once. I'm proud to be a Mensa nerd. Making my own clothes or buying clothes from a charity store and altering them to fit my body and personality. I have a truck driver's licence, tattoo and pierced nose. It's my life goal to be able to speak all six UN languages. I would like to know more about politics and wine than I do and one day own a boat.
People who know huge amounts about a really unusual or interesting topic. I like listening to old people ruminate or tell stories. I like chatting to people who have differing opinions to me about God, the nature of faith and the meaning of life.
Favourite band = House Of Orange. Check them out in my top friends, they're awesome. My iPod goes everywhere I do. Selected highlights include Resurrectors, Carmen McRae, Sarah McLachlan, Switchfoot, Neri Per Caso, Nina Simone, Simon and Garfunkel, Spin Doctors, Relient K, Fat Freddy's Drop, Rhombus, the Tealeaves and the Beach Boys. I love Edith Piaf and the crooners from the 30s and 40s.

I gave away my television. I watch a lot of DVDs instead. I do, however, enjoy Lost. That JJ Abrams is a crazy man. I also confess to being addicted to Prison Break and harbouring a weakness for Wentworth Miller, even though the show is completely implausible.
A self-confessed bibliophile, I'll read almost anything. In particular, classic literature - my favourite is Alexander Dumas' 'Count of Monte Cristo'.
Jesus and my mum.
