Beautiful, sexy and awesome: those are the three adjectives I'd use to describe... my guitars!! Yep, I could look at them for hours and admire the sheer perfection of these instruments... I love music and could not live without it. I do play guitar and bass and I have gathered an array of other instruments (mandolin, banjo, zither, violin etc) although I haven't dedicated enough time to them..yet! My music taste can be defined as "eclectic" (see a very small list below) and I get excited as a little kid when I come across a good new band/artist. Books: could I live without them? No... I would probably shrivel up in a corner like a plant in desperate need of water.. I can't help but read anything I lay my eyes on, including the instructions on tampax boxes and the toilet paper wrapper ( just in case I have used them incorrectly all these years..hehe). Apart from books, I read a few selected magazines (Q, Diva, Focus, The New Scientist, Mojo and occasionally GQ -yep, you read that correctly!-) and, when my brain needs something more challenging, I grab a copy of The Guardian, The Times or The Independent. I'm very quiet in person but a while ago, a dear friend of mine said that I turn into "this ferocious verbal beast in letters, emails and message boards", so be warned! I enjoy dining out with a very selected group of friends, especially if the conversation is flowing and if the food is washed down by a couple of glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon; I'm addicted to chocolate as long as it's not Cadbury's or Hersheys, both of which have such a small amount of cocoa, they should be classed as "poo" (they taste like it as well!) . What else do I like.... drinking strong coffee, sunbathing, travelling (money and time permitting..and yes, America is still on my list!!!), discovering new places in Friuli-Venezia Giulia (the region in Italy I come from), learning about our history, spending time with the most beautiful Golden Retriever on Earth (Taz), pondering about the meaning of life, my Nintendo DS,my Ipod, my mountain bike (sadly left in Italy!) etc. I am also fascinated by bees.
