Running, Writing, Movies, Music, Dance Performances, Dancing (Salsa / Partner), Jazz clubs, Dining Out (oh yeah, I like to eat), Target Practice, Rollerskating, Ice Skating, Fashion, Working on getting a green thumb. Going to the horse track and rollercoasters are both fun to do occasionally. I love the Cubs and I like to play just about any sport, but not into having it on all the time... I can tell you that I'm not into any death-defying or anything that's too "feeling my feelings" kind of thing. Not that it's bad. It's just not me.

Books
Favorites are Alice Walker, Tom Robbins, Ray Bradbury, and Neil Gaiman. I'm making my way through their stuff. Leonard Cohen's poems and novels. I've never read anything by H.G. Wells, so he's next. Also, read the Harry Potter series with one of my cousins, which was a lot of fun. And now the Twilight series!
Heroes
My grandpa is definitely number one on that list, probably followed by Alice Walker, for "The Color Purple" when I was a kid, and then giving me "Anything We Love Can Be Saved" as an adult.
Old Lady hi all -- I live on Facebook these days and will be probably cancelling this account soon. So find me and friend me :) Posted at 4:28 AM Dec 23 view more
About me: This little snapper (that's me!) was born into an outrageous Italian family in the hot summer of '76 in the great city of Chicago. A lot of things happened, and then I graduated with a film degree and moved to Hollywood.
I have my grandpa's sense of humor, my grandma's love of beauty and art, and my mom's tiredless drive for a better tomorrow
Who I'd like to meet: I like down-to-earth people that are into exploring what life has to offer, and they ultimately believe that they have power over their own lives. Other than that, it's all good.

"If you care about me you will read the whole thing. What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness? What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and u have made a difference in my life. I look up to you and respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to all ur friends, no matter how much you talk to them, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember everyone needs a friend. Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, b/c the one you like will leave you for the one they love. Tonight your true love will realize how much they love you between one and four in the morning. Tomorrow the shock of your life will occur if you break the chain. You will have bad luck for 10 years, if you dont pass this to 15 ppl....if you get 10 bak someone really cares about YOU!!"""
Watching old music videos this weekend... This wasn't the funniest (that goes to Oaktown 357 "Juicy Gotcha Krazy"), but definitely one of my jams (and I haven't heard this years!)... Enjoy!
