Travel; SCUBA diving; Sailing/Boating; Photography; Good food, good wine, good conversation; Windjammer Vacations (vacations anywhere, really!); Partying with all you fun friends o' mine!

Law Books (FYI, TOTALLY kidding). Anything I read BEFORE watching the movie, The Decameron, The Time Traveler's Wife, The Kite Runner, anything by Philippa Gregory.

Gigli. That just had to be the best movie of all time. I actually never saw it myself, but I heard it got great reviews.

I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock'n'roll. Actually, even though it may sound cliche, I really do listen to (almost) everything, especially anything I can dance to! Most recent concert: Foo Fighters. In my CD player now: Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Ciara, Scissor Sisters and, yes, some country.

ANYTHING reality. By reality, however, I mean National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. I don't watch a lot of television.

Sagittarius

Southern girl meets NYC (with none of the style or sophistication, so basically just a southern girl). But with a whole lotta flair. In fact, if I were ever to work at Friday's [again], I don't think I'd even need to wear any buttons.

I can probably be best (and least) described by the various nicknames I have carried with me throughout the years... including T, Tyrone (bus driver mistake), T-Bone (hungry guy's mistake), T-Diddy (later shortened to Diddy), T-Dogg (okay...), Fielder (how original!), Play-the-Fielder (good work, Jueds!), Freckles (ya think?), Kle (know this dude, Aristophanes?), fickle (kidding - that's what I call myself) and, my personal favorite, The Kissing Bandit.

My friends' friends. People who respect people - all people. World travellers who can live out of a backpack for weeks (months?!) at a time. People with interesting, funny and touching stories to share. People who consider a corkscrew a travel necessity. Men who respect their mothers. Women who are friends with other women. Other people who were also named after porn stars. People who have accomplished something spectacular. Or who want to accomplish something spectacular. Your Mom - but not until after the appropriate number of dates. People with verve, nerve and bounce. Individuals who are passionate about something. Someone who makes me laugh so hard, my abs hurt; makes me smile so much, my face hurts; and makes me think so hard, my head aches. Folks who have traveled the world, or are at least willing to leave home to experience something new. Honest people. Real people. I guess that means people from 'The Real World'. But I never really had any desire to meet Trishelle.
