Design, Art, Architecture, painting, crocheting, music, listening to music in the car with the windows down when the air is cool and crisp, extra sharp pencils, walking dogs, COOKIES, meat, not veggies, the KREW, fairy tales, axes, poking sticks, stickers, poking eyeballs, rapping about the back of the car posse, podcasting, drawing, reading, reading under shade trees, rain and thunder storms, movies, books, pretty things, glitter, jam, friends, family, cold and bitter hearts, starting record labels, tape, fashion, sewing, popcorn, good tunes, photography, knitting, Sonic's Cherry Limade, and all of the numerous little things in life that make me laugh.

Television
Who has time for TV, although I will have to admit I am a sucker for television series on DVD. Arrested Development will always have a place in my heart and who can say no to Project Runway?
About me:
I'm crazy like a loon. LETS BE FRIENDS!!
I'm a bit of a spaz really. Okay, okay... I'm a BIG spaz. But that doesn't mean I can't be fun! According to my friendiepoops, I'm a music snob (I can't help it!) and I'm pretty much a design snob too.
My greatest ambition in life is to move to Paris (or some other equally awesome city), open up a bakery, and ride my Vespa around town all day. Since I lack the balls to pack up and move, I'll just have to settle with being an awesome designer... and of course, riding my Vespa around town all day. In the meanwhile, I enjoy poking people, writing love letters to friends, sewing, sleeping, watching movies, baking cookies, making cool things, and of course jammin' to good tunes!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who has ideas, thoughts, and doesn't want to settle for anything less from life than complete awesomeness.
Madame Guillotine is up - drop by and give a listen. I hope you like it! It's what I call a fantasy instrumental, though there is actually a little vocal part.
'Hope all is well in your world, Cheers, -- Cole --
Hooray for bowling! I'm the Queen of low scores on that front so don't feel too bad. La La Land is hot and sunny and full of tanorexics as per the rules of summer..so the usual, I guess! haha. How are things in Sugarland?
