Art history, ballet, cerebral activities, chatting up total strangers, checking misnomers and grammatical errors on the morning tabloid, coffee, environmental issues (tree-hugger, you think?), feminism, gay rights (fag),
(duh) music, philosophy, politics, pop culture, Quantum Physics (Hawking fan), solving the crossword puzzle (preferably ALONE to maximize self-gratification), observing people's notable facial features, witty-cism, writing and Billy Corgan's allusions to Youth.
