What are some of your other passions and interests beyond swimming?

Great question Ande! What feeds my soul...hmmm.... Outside of the water... Film studies, books, art, music, people of all kinds, my husband, my friends, school, my job (I have a great boss), karaoke bars, poetry readings, hanging out at Borders, In and Out burgers, a good cup of coffee (especially after a morning workout!), an even better bottle of beer after a horrendously long day, watching the Oscars once a year (it's all about the red carpet), exchanging funny emails with my sister; truth, peace, simplicity, color, clouds and rainy days. And sometimes 70's tunes and really awful cult horror films do it for me. and hotdogs at a Giants game. Especially if the Giants are winning.
