Photography, writing, soccer, swiming, travelling, music, live drama (of almost any type), fumbling about on the piano or trombone, and always, a little mischief and a laugh with good friends...
I've always thought friends are those who tell you the honest truth - even if it's hard to hear - who push and challenge you, never pander, embrace your right to disagree with what they feel, and who, you know, come what may, will have your back. As someone once said, "Friends are the people who know you, truly, and love you anyway."
In the end, I love meeting just about anyone who values loyalty and devotion between friends, and yet, does not take themselves, or life, too seriously. :)
