Formerly Alphamoongirl. Some of the things that make me smile: Traveling the world, blogging, music & concerts, Cabbage Patch Kids, history, philosophy, the Internet, modern art, architecture & design, cooking, planning events, watching movies, delving into the "unknown", reading up on conspiracy theories (especially those involving "Dubeyah"), urban exploration, short wave radio, Tab Energy, Starbucks (Red Cups!), Christmas, fine wines, gourmet restaurants, green apples, martinis, music boxes, sunny days, the soothing sound of the rain against the window, the ocean, sipping daquiris, roadtrips with friends, hot pink (the colour), people who make me laugh, sunsets at the beach, chocolate, the eiffel tower when it sparkles, music boxes, Yankee candles, buying shoes, shiny objects, free thinkers & good listeners
