MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC. Listening to music, singing, performing, but especially seeing live music. I have very eclectic taste. I enjoy cooking, driving, shows, plays, shopping, cleaning, performing, being with my friends and family, popcorn, bonfires, parks, Chicago, and making 100,000 lattes a day at work.
