Here are 10 of them:
1)Ummm...I can't write x-rated stuff unless it's hidden in my blogs ;)
2)Cats... I love them so! :) I hope to have lots and lots of them, maybe instead of children!
3)Singing. It seems to be deeply rooted in my being - much like breathing. I'm not quite as good as Arnel Pineda but I can do a pretty good job...
4)Collecting stuff. I don't think there's any hope... I've always collected things. My 'stuff' makes me feel secure in some way. Then again, the clutter also stresses me out.
5)Reading. I like the escapism. For me reading books is like watching movies - but I create the characters from a visual standpoint and sometimes I even feel like I've seen a film because in my memory the experience is so visually vivid.
6)Writing. This is also deeply rooted in me.
7)Talking. I like to verbally express my thoughts... often at the same time as the thoughts flow. Kind of like the talking equivalent of 'free writing'. Sadly, social conditioning has handicapped most people such that they can no longer do this (since leaving childhood and gathering emotional baggage).
8)Having mad dreams and then proceeding to analyse them.
9)Dressing up and being photographed. (I won't go into the undressing and being photographed as that is exclusive to me and my Boyfriend).
10)Listening to music that gives me the shivers (good shivers I mean) ;)

Television
I rarely watch it - unless it's an exercise DVD (which means I'm working out to it) or a film... which isn't live 'TV' anyway.
Books
Pretty much everything by Richard Laymon... especially, 'Body Rides' and 'The Glory Bus'. Paul Gallico was a great author.. he loved Cats as much as I do - if you love Cats too try reading 'Jennie' :) I also have great respect for Paulo Coelho and Milan Kundera.
Heroes
Steve Perry, Arnel Pineda, Heather Nova and Paul Gallico (for being true to themselves and living the dream).
About me: This is the tough bit...
I'm a loner, but don't take that the wrong way... People have negative associations with solitude but I like (& choose) to spend much of my time alone. I need to do so - I don't really know why. If I don't get to withdraw regularly I feel like I'm screaming inside and my thoughts turn into a mental chaos.
Yet I do love talking to people and hearing their maddest thoughts... I don't judge - in fact I am probably one of the most open-minded people you will ever meet... and I am 'open' in the sense that I am very honest - my blogs prove that.
I often surprise myself with my moments of happiness. They come about from a sunset, people I Love being nearby (but not in a suffocating way), and Cats resting their heads on my lap.
I'd like to live forever - because I feel I have so much to learn but so little time.
Oh, and I quite like Astrology... but not the silly things you read in the paper - I mean the exact science... Just for info, I have three planets in Aries which explains my fiery side (Mercury, Venus & Mars). My Sun is in Taurus, my Moon is in Leo and my rising sign is Gemini.
Who I'd like to meet: People who have figured it out and are back in touch with their inner child (for that was when time seemed to be endless... but in a good way).
I like to get in to the 'core' of a person's psyche and have them do the same to me. If you enjoy this kind of mental bonding then we'll get along fine :)

Thinking of you and wishing you all the best mydear friend!!! I had a stupid dream lastnight about James, ugh! STUPID! I can't even believe I dreamt of him, where the hell did that come from?? Ah, but it reminded me of the wonderful friend that I made!! Yay! So I wanted to stop by and let you know that I think of you often!!! I really hope that life is treating you good!!! Love, Serena
Sorry to hear work is stressing you at the moment. At least you have me to cheer you up, lol. I'm not too bad. Had a bit of a falling out with someone I thought was a good friend that's bumming me out a bit. Apart from that it's all good. The company I work for got taken over just before xmas, which is good because now I have prospects and 6 days extra holiday! Woo! Hopefully winter will be over soon. :-)
