Hanging out with my hubby, animal welfare issues (they don't have a voice with which to speak), exploring new places, long walks in quiet woods, pumping iron and working out, scuba diving and snorkling,getting to know new people and learning more about good friends, and listening to live music and dirty dancing to reggae with my hot husband.
Like minded souls. If that's not possible any warm body will do. Seriously, what makes life so interesting is getting to know a diverse range of people. You can take something from everyone you meet; all have something to offer.
I run the gamut and love just about all types of music. Some favorites in no particular order: Bob Marley, Tom Waits, Talking Heads, Mary Gauthier, Gorillaz, Iris Demint, Bad Company, Tracy Chapman, ABBA (a dirty little secret!), Alanis Morrisette, Willie Dixon, Cold Play, Jimmie Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Black Flag (TV party tonight anyone?), Circle Jerks, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, Leadbelly, Led Zeppelin, Temptations, Pretenders, Greenday, Muddy Waters, The Radiators, Neville Brothers ... too many to list.
All genres, but there are some that I never get tired of watching: Pulp Fiction, Repo Man, Papillion, Napolean Dynomite, Gone With the Wind, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Desperate Living, to name a few.
The one show I can never miss: Prison Break! Other favorites: Survivor, Project Runway, Hell's Kitchen, American Idol ... that's all I can think of right now. Yup, I'm a reality show junkie. :)
At times I can just devour books, but at others (like now)I'm lucky if I can read a paragraph without dropping off to sleep.
Like everything else, I really don't have a favorite style, but I tend towards the quirky and off beat. One type I can't STAND are the cheesy bodice ripper so-called 'romance' novels. Ugh.
Come to think of it, things that are typically and commerically deemed as 'romantic' leave me cold. Give me a break.
My husband, soul mate and friend, Sean. He proved to me that it's never too late to find your one, true love. He still makes my heart skip a beat.
Ballsy people never fail to amuse me either.
