music, fb (for those who don't know that my way of saying facebook), dance, and wait for it...SONIC XD

If I'm not writing, I'll listen to classical music--a little Erik Satie or perhaps a Prokofiev ballet--or I'll watch Turner Classic Movies. Those two things always relax me. :)
Homemade ice cream is divine....I make yummy chocolate chip mint ( green of course). If wasn't a writer, I would most certainly be a chef.
Well, reading, sleeping, looking at family photo albums, playing card games with my three older brothers, and listening to my favorite Cd, The Beach Boy's Sounds of Summer. Doesnt the name sound relaxing?
Listing to any of my favorite songs or artists, reading, cooking, getting in some extra sleep or going for a run or walk. Amy combanation of thses works well too.

Wow I thought I had a varied taste in music but these lists are all over the place. That's great. I never udnerstand when people say they only like one type of music and refuse to listen to anything else outside of that comfort zone. There is so much amazing music out there to be sampled.
@Kishore: What is your favorite dish to cook? @Alex *Belivers Never Die*: Do you bake breads?
@Farrah: I am exposed to alot of different music ( as you can see) and will gladly step outside my comfort zone of what I normally like to try something new. Like a friend at school really likes Frank Sinatra and told me to look him up. I did and I really like him now.
Ones to add to my random list of music:
Frank Sinatra and Natalie Cole

I grew up listening to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin..all of the Rat Pack. My grandparents used to sing all the old songs. Bobby Darin is great too. I am a huge Johnny Cash fan. But my tastes are all over the place. I like anything from the Misfits to the Pogues to Lady Gaga to Mozart to Ella Fitzgerald and it just goes on from there.
