Love SciFi (all kinds, tv, film and written). I teach part-time at a college--I'm "old" ~50.

I love culture and learning about cultural differences.

I do watercolor, so paper (300lb weight) or a book would be great. I have way more than enough paint and brushes.

Very much into rocket launches (I've been to two). I love astrophotography, and photos of rocket launches.

I like white chocolate, and toffee/caramel.

Smells: I like pine, grapefruit, orange, and gardenia (not all together though!)

Star-gazing, I’ve seen shooting stars/showers, the northern lights, Halley’s Comet. Last year I went to a Dark Skies Park in Ireland (Kerry Dark Skies Reserve), where I got to see SO MANY STARS! It was almost difficult to make out the constellations, there were so many. Unfortunately, where I am, there is so much light pollution that it is hard to see more than basic constellations.

I also love sci-fi (books, movies). Favorite show of all time is Babylon 5. Favorite books are the Red Mars series by Kim Stanley Robinson, and I’d say Ender’s Game. I teach culture and communication at a local college—I’m always interested in cultural similarities & differences, whether between humans or aliens.

Oh, and I always wait until Christmas to open my SS gifts. I love the anticipation and seeing them under the tree. :-)
