I enjoy writing, any forms of writing just a way of painting a picture with words, trying to capture moments, feelings, ideas, emotions, with what words we have.
I've been a singer since I was born *laughs* Just ask my family. ;) I did a "performance" when I was 4yrs. old, in the middle of the living room, of Jon Bon Jovi's "Shot Through The Heart" with guitar and all! ;).
I love playing the piano just randomly, sporatic playing, lots of sustain, it's very soothing and cathartic. I did my first piano duet over a year ago which was a great accomplishment for me.
I'm very much into Anne Rice 'cuz she's an amazing writer. The way she says things, describes things, it has always touched me in some profound way, which is why I keep going back to them time and again :)
I enjoy reading as well, fave books would be "Potent Pleasures", "The Hero and the Crown", "Exit to Eden", "The Blue Sword", "The Vampire Queen's Servant", "Angels and Demons", "A Wrinkle in Time", "The Stargazer", etc... ;)
I've always been fond of being in the middle of nature so walking through woods and forests is something I've done since I was little. It's very relaxing aside from mosquitoes.
I love Tai chi, I only know the short-form and would like to get into the long-form. Again, also very relaxing and with enough space you can do this indoors. :) I actually did Tai-Chi on the Peace Pagoda in Battersea Park, London, that was amazing, it was a crisp autumn night, me right by the Thames....great experience :D
Anything on Johnny Depp and I'm there *laughs* He's such an amazing man and an amazing actor. :)
I love stimulating conversation, deep discussion, but also just laughing 'cuz it's tons o' fun! :D

Movies
Anything with Johnny Depp! :D My fave movie is still Pirates of the Caribbean, not neccessarily out of what he's done, just in general, it's a great film with everything you want in a movie :D Other movies I've enjoyed are Memento, Donnie Darko, Amelie, Lady Chatterly, LOTR all of them! but mainly RotK 'cuz that was the culimation of it all and still makes me cry *laughs*, Interview with the Vampire, Far and Away, Lovers of the Arctic Circle, Gia, Braveheart, Schindler's List, Tommy Boy, etc...
