Passions

Below are a list of things or beliefs that i am passionate about. i will try to keep them brief and try keep them general. Because passions are different than likes. The things I list under this category usually have an emotional attachment coinciding with them. If all that sounds too confusing and has too many big words......How about " I really dig these things and I get all.......well, you know"?

I love anything to do with the arts. I love film. I am quite the film FREAK!

And all her male friends try to impress me with their knowledge of music.

Summary

As I am looking at this list, it is getting quite huge. So I will stop. I tend to like things more than not like things.
I will try just about anything once and I am always up for something new. I look at it as an adventure. I love trying the unknown.
I still have not jumped out of an airplane but I plan to. If you wish to see more of the list, just let me know.
