A Few of my Favorite Things

• Making memories
• Peace, Love, & Happiness
• Music: Finding news bands, learning about musicians, interpreting song lyrics
• Fashion
• Movies: Mostly sports, romantic chick flick, or funnies
• Summertime: warm weather, romance, great times spent with friends
• MTV: because I love The Hills and music
  
• Concerts: My first one was the summer before freshman year of college & it was one of the most amazing experiences ever.
  
• All American Guys: you know; tall, dark, and handsome.
  
• California: For some reason I am obsessed with this way of living. I am from there, but have sadly grown up in the middle of nowhere. L.A., celebrities, music scene, wine country, the beaches, Hollywood.
  
• Road Trips: In actuality the furthest road trip for me was going to Texas and it doesn't count because it was more like a family vacation. I want a real road trip with my closest friends. I have always wanted to go on Route 66 and hit the high points of the U.S.
  
• Boston Red Sox: why because baseball is America's past time. And because I understand the sports.
  
• Golf: it's my new hobby. I really don't care to play any of the sports I played growing up so now I took up golf. It's the one thing I have patience for.
  
• Art: I like to think I can draw and all that, but I probably can't. But My art history class really opened me up to a lot of breathtaking pieces. Basically all Italian Art from back in the day really took me away. I felt like I was there. Also landscape pieces and van Gogh. And of course we cannot forget commercial/vintage art.
  
• American History: Now I have nothing against learning about other cultures, it's just I like American History best. The wars, learning about how our government used to work, civil rights movements, and of course the decades.
  
• 60's & 70's: Those are my favorite decades; why? Because I think it would have been amazing to grow up during that time. I am obsessed with the music, fashion, , politics, way of life, the drug culture. Everything about it.
  
• The Mafia: I think Godfather and The Sopranos turned me onto this.
  
• College Basketball: I am not going to lie; I like Indiana. Big Bob Knight Fan.
  
• Scrapbooking
• Broadening my Horizons
• Magazine Journalism: Nothing against the newspapers, but they don't have that pizazz that magazines do. Magazine are more fun to read.
• Photography: Capturing a moment in time, a priceless expression.
  
• Reading: Yes I know it's hard to believe that us young folks read nowadays, but we do! Some of us that is. I used to be really into the whole crime/murder/suspense, but now I am into the chick lit and discovering the classics. Oh and autobiographies of some of my favorite people.
  
• Sociology: I hate my Soc 220 class, but I did enjoy reading the book on my own. Sexual Revolution, Drugs, Mental Disorders, Demographics- all very interesting, and something EVERYONE should learn about.
  
• Politics: Something else EVERYONE should be clued in on. It's our civil right, our civic duty to vote. We should care about our country and what's happening to it. I am not a big fan of war or Bush for that matter. We need change. We need to focus on our domestic front.
  
• Animals
• Long Talks: Or good conversation. Meeting someone you can talk about anything with and for hours on end; that is the best feeling.
  
• Vacations: I have been to all the southern states and some out west. I have only been to Mexico outside the U.S. There are many more places I need to visit.
  
• Global Warming: GOING GREEN. Saving our planet. It's real, it exists.
  
• Daydreaming: I do this a lot. And I need to start writing down my day dreams instead of just living them out.
  
• Planning my future: my five year plan changes-a lot.
  
• Massages, Pedicures, Manicures, Getting my hair done, Make-up
• Outdoors: Very refreshing.
  
• Quotes: where I draw my inspiration from other than music.
  
• Singing and dancing: even though I suck
• Sunsets and sunrises
• Shopping
• Halloween: by far the best holiday. And no I am not a Satan worshiper.
  
• Drive Ins
• Flowers
• Reality TV
• Thunderstorms
• Lazy Days
• Seafood, Mexican, Peanut butter, Cheescake, Spicy: all great stuff
• Reminiscing: the best summer of my life was the summer before my senior year. It was one of those moments that you knew your life changed at that very moment-forever.
  
• Laughing a lot.
  
• Youtube: it's a great place I have come to discover.
• AND of course writing. Maybe one day I can write a book.
