My likes:
1) Spending time with my loved ones. (You know who you are, enough said.)
2) Music; music of the soul, and that which tells a tale- Funky deep stuff, Folk and Country tales, Classical emotions and Gospel- God-loving worship. Favourite artists include: Stevie Wonder, Kirk Franklin, Tim McGraw, Alison Krauss, Faith Hill, Joan Baez, Nanci Griffith, Joni Mitchell, Amp Fiddler, Relient K, Paulo Nutini, Jamie Cullum, Afro Strut and many more. Music is a wonderful thing, it fills the soul with a strange feeling, you can cry to it, laugh to it, dance to it, chill to it. It is not greed to enjoy spending time with music, it is a gift given which I intend to enjoy more of.
3) Literature- (yes, I am an arts girl)- The classics- Austen, Bronte, Shakespeare, and more recent authors- Toni Morrison for example. Literature is, (or should I say arts in general?) like music in that it brings out the genius that is the soul. It is also extremely wonderful as it has culture in it that we cannot imagine- there is soo much depth to it and I take my hat off to most successful writers.
4) Film nights with my pals. Recently, me and my friend Emily watched part of Notting Hill. The writing is so witty I laugh every time I watch it. "Oh I don't believe it. My life ruined because I don't read Hello magazine." Classic.
5) Having a relationship with my Lord God, who is a God of Love and more than a guy in the sky. "Yeh, I said it," in the words of Stevie Wonder at Glastonbury this year!
6) Travelling. Unfortunately this year I have been unable to travel, as it became time to get a job and earn some dosh. In the past though, I have visited quite a lot of Europe as I got to go on tour with my then Youth Orchestra.
So there you have it! Some of my 'likes'. Forgive me if this has seemed that I have assumed you would be interested, but hopefully my writings in the future will make more sense now you know some of what I am/hope to do.
Logging off now, time for bed, work tomorrow!
