Writing, reading, travelling, laughing, cooking, wine, adventure. Finding fun in...bubble baths, grocery shopping, bookstores, staff meetings, stamps in my passport, high drama, getting upgraded, getting downgraded, getting lost and getting found. Finding beauty in... a waterfall of purple flowers, sleeping in, the taste brie & apricots, the rustle of dry palms in the breeze, candlelight, the smell of woodsmoke, the warm kiss of sunshine, the mere thought of ice cream.
The fun and the passionate who also realize that there's more to life than just fun and passion, and live accordingly.
My music tastes have never fully recovered from growing up in Zimbabwe with access to only my parents CD collection. Hence Simon and Garfunkel, ABBA, the Beach Boys and Linda Ronstadt must go on the list. But there's also Matchbox Twenty, Carbon Leaf, Jars of Clay, Coldplay, Gibonni, U2, City of Angels, The Mission...
Amazing Grace, Strictly Ballroom, Crash, Lord of War, The Mission, American History X, Shawshank Redemption, Motorcycle Diaries, The Princess Bride
Not much - no cable. But 24, Alias, House, Buffy, and Lost have all been favourites.

Why is this question so hard to answer? I blame tall poppy syndrome, Aussies are indoctrinated young against having heroes.
