What makes you tick?
I enjoy reading how we introduce ourselves to the forums, but am frustrated by the lack of idiosyncratic detail, so I'd like to propose that we share 10 things that turns our crank (off the top of our heads, in no particular order). Here's mine:
Arugula
Philip Roth
Things that shine
Floating
My husband's kiss
Fireflies
My friends at dinner
My characters
My film set
The Caribbean Sea
