Reading. Writing. Those are basically my two passions. I wish I had more time to do both, but it makes it all the more worthwhile when you actually catch a breath to do it. I also like watching good movies (usually horror) and good television. I play video games too, those are fun. Basically, I guess to sumarize, I am interested in things that are interesting.
