True love,like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring-once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome...except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners.
And, as is true fo any other strong and addiction drug, true first love is dangerous.

The rich live in the past, the middle class live in the future and the poor live in the present.
Anyone who sees in his own occupation merely a means of earning money degrades it; but he that sees in it a service to mankind ennobles both his labor and himself."

Which Trainspotting Character Are You?
Television:
I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffith Show are so classic I will always watch them. OOOOH and Food Network I love watching what people try to do with food.
Books:
Okay so this might be as long as the movie list which I held back on. First and foremost The Hitchikers guide to the Galaxy series, James Patterson has to be hands down one of the best criminal mystery writers of our day. My favorite of his so far is The Beach House. Stephen King is the King!!! we should all bow down to his amazing writing. The Green Mile, Desperation, The Dead Zone, The Shining, Shawshank Redemption, Misery and Thinner are just some of his wonderful imaginative stories. Amy Tan, Jane Austen, Mauve Binchy and Anne Rice are wonderful female storytellers. Judy Blume is another favorite not just her kids stuff though I loved them as a kid but her adult stories are wonderful. Read Summer Sisters, Wifey, and Smart Women. Yes I am a big fan of The Harry Potter series and am anxiously awaiting year seven!!! John Grishum and Dean Koontz are very entertaining and varied writers. I have yet to challenge myself with classics such as Dickens or Tolstoy etc, but I love Shakespeare and am soon to start on some Tennesse Williams.
Heroes:
Veronica Franco and Elizabeth I. Also my sister who undoubtably believes in JC and is able to converse with him!!!!
