I have a lot of passion for a lot of things, which is what keeps me busy and, unfortunately, what keeps me from ever really relaxing. I have a passion for art, obvious to those who know me. It is rooted not just in the spiritual/intellectual enjoyment of art, but also in a much more primal joy of looking at things. Colors, shapes, textures, all excite me, which is why I love not just "fine art" but also things like fabric and paper and why I am such a sucker for good marketing-- I love a beautiful package. I also have a passion for knowledge. I always want to learn new things. I have a hard time comprehending intellectual contentment.

Another passion that I have on a very primal level is food. I love to eat. I love food. I love trying new things. I love cooking, because it is creating. I love to feed my friends. I only cook for people I care about. Feeding people seems like a very basic way to show love.
