My Interests

I'll try anything twice. My main sources of outdoorsy fun are skiing, tennis, golf (i haven't graduated from the driving range, but give me time), swimming, hiking, going on picnics (especially in the middle of nowhere), and finding obscure places to call my own.

I'd like to meet:


Craig Ferguson does his ENTIRE monologue on Pleasanton! He was in town at Tommy T's and he talks about Gay 90's, the Rose Hotel, and not having a Starbucks on Main Street! How funny to hear an outsider's opinion on Pleasanton! Thanks for the video Matt!!

Music:

What I've been listening to lately: Plain White t's, Relient K, Something Corporate, Death Cab, Feist, Switchfoot, Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, Dashboard, The Format, and Motion City Soundtrack.

Others I love: Alanis Morrisette, Barenaked Ladies, The Beatles, James Blunt, Garth Brooks, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, Coldplay, DMB, Ani Difranco, Dixie Chicks, The Eagles, Kathleen Edwards, Melissa Etheridge, Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, Garbage, Indigo Girls, Elton John, The Killers, Jonny Lang (who is too yummy for words), Le Tigre, Reba, Jason Mraz, Joni Mitchell, Oakenfold, Tom Petty, Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rilo Kiley, Sting, Sublime, James Taylor, The Thrills, U2, and Weezer. That's just a small sample of who I have on i-tunes...

Movies:

Here are a few of my top faves: Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet, really anything by Baz Luhrmann, Chasing Amy, Garden State, Sabrina (the remake), Singin in the Rain, Good Will Hunting, RENT, Gone with the Wind, It Happened One Night, Oklahoma!, Pulp Fiction...The best movies of this year are Crash, Walk the Line, and Brokeback Mountain. They were all touching in a very different way. Everyone should see all of these!

Television:

My absolute favs: Friends, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, and Sex and the City.
