1) Books: “I like … classics. I just finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird.“
2) Movies: “Mostly independent films, but anything played at The Manor, [a theatre] here in Charlotte. I’ve probably seen the movie June, over 15 times.”
3) Music: “I like mostly all music, but I’m a classically trained pianist, so I listen to classical music. But I also like jazz, and I love lounge music.”
4) Food: “I love anything buttery, anything spicy.”
5) Experiences: “Me and two of my good girl friends got together for a dinner party, when the hostess happened to have a bottle of bootleg wine. Interestingly, as the night proceeded this wine became very hallucinatory. By the end, we were tossing eggs onto rooftops out of revenge of these half-million dollar houses. When we woke up we promised never to speak of it again.”
