OK, complete stream of consciousness here... let's have some fun.
- I have eclectic music tastes. I seriously listen to everything. If you were to attempt to classify my 20+ gigs of music on my iPod (which is a slice of what I own) you would think I was was crazy. But that's what happens when you grow up wanting to be on the radio.
- I love the color pink. And black. And white. And turquoise blue. I spent months following a stranger who owned a metallic neon pink beetle because I wanted to get my car painted the exact same color.
- I love to read. Stephen King's book, The Stand is still one of the best stories I've ever consumed. Multiple times.
- I love macaroni and cheese with lobster.
- Butter runs through my veins. President is my favorite brand. Because it's French. Those French cows make special milk and when churned with some Mediterranean sea salt? It's heaven on a cracker.
- I hate milk chocolate.
- I love dark chocolate.
- I hate chocolate martinis.
- Good flourless chocolate cake? OMG!
- I like dirty martinis. Grey Goose, please.
- I love the old Star Trek, The Next Generation. One of the episodes, the one about a race where the people were all of neutral gender -- just made me cry.
- I keep people in my life forever -- unless they are mean.
- But generally, I am quick to forgive and forget.
- I think Captiva has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world -- lots of shells and gorgeous sunsets.
- That said, St. John rules when it comes to beaches. Crystal blue water -- white sand. Heaven on earth. I cannot wait to return someday.
- I am a voracious reader. I still love the original Kindle for reading books. I'm not big on biographies -- but I love good fiction with complex characters.
- Sometimes, nothing but a beer and chips with sour cream will do.
- My daughter is a mini-me. I'm scared about her upcoming teenage years as I'm not as strict as my mother and she's not as disciplined or mature as I was at her age. And I am glad that she is still young in her mind, actions and heart. She's very light and still innocent.
- Chanel 19 is the perfume I bought in France when I was 19 and I have worn it consistently since then.
- I am naturally a dirty blonde but I have tried life as a brunette, a redhead, but usually return to my roots with highlights. Hair grows. It's fun to change it up now and then.
- Steely Dan? Love that band. Donald Fagen's The Nightfly has got to be one of the best albums ever recorded.
- I worked in radio and would love to have my own talk show. Preferably held with coffee and maybe wine and cheese.
- I never liked spectator sports much. But since my son started baseball? I'm a huge fan. I love watching and taking action photos of the kids in all the sports they participate in (including bowling, soccer and swimming.)
- I think people who hate cats have never really known a cat. They are pretty amazing creatures -- they choose you -- they don't just obey. A relationship with a cat is different than one with dogs. (And I love dogs, too.)
- I am a romantic. I like the sweeping gestures. And not necessarily just in matters of the heart. I love the idea of having a home in a community. Yet, I love the anonomity of the big city. Both are romantic sweeping notions of a life as I picture it in my mind. I wish I could live the life of an artist in Paris for a summer and then I'd like to learn how to make olive oil for a summer in Italy. I think that disconnect from reality would be a refreshing change of view.
- I daydream incessantly. Especially during summer. In the hammock. Under the tree. With a cat.
- I love to take pictures.
- I play the guitar when I need to feel deeply.
Your turn.
