Various...mostly rock, metal, new age, some punk, ska and classic rock, and even some classical. I find myself really enjoying the music my daughter is listening to, like Fall Out Boy, 30 Seconds to Mars, 3Day's Grace, and Panic at the Disco...great stuff! Even the older bands like AFI and the All-American Rejects are updating their music and it's awesome! I take her to the concerts and I end up enjoying them immensely myself, as well! I especially enjoy rock opera...like Queen, Queensryche, Man O' War and Savatage. They are the "Bittersweet Symphonies" of today. Classical combined with rock and roll...what a concept! I love it!
"Were you holding hands when my wrists bled???" --AFI
I enjoy horror movies the most, like Phantom of the Opera, The Pit and the Pendulum, Phantasm, From Beyond, The Crow and many many more.

I like Sex and the City, CSI, and House, to name a few seasonal specialties. I used to really enjoy those little horror tales like Dark Shadows, Creature Features, Svengoolie, Tales From the Dark Side, and The Tales From the Crypt.

The last book I read and thoroughly enjoyed was Dan Brown's, "The DiVinci Code". I'm really into the spiritual and the supernatural. I was intrigued by the historical facts and the basis for the divine background the book has to offer. The movie was disappointing, although Tom Hanks is a wonderful actor...the film was not as good as the book.

My daughter! With all that she and I have been through here in the past few years...her strength has far outweighed mine. First, we lost my Grandmother (her great grandma)and right around Christmastime, we have had to relocate, uprooting her from her 'home' as she knew it due to a divorce, we lost our dog, Malik (papered Siberian Husky) because he couldn't make the transition, we've had our vehicle broken into and then stolen, and survived a major illness! However, she is still on the Honor Roll making all but straight A's! Tell me this girl isn't a survivor...and she's been doing far better than I have been through all this. God Bless Her!
