I'm a pop baby rock and roll child with a special place in my heart for the 70's glam. I need stupid music sometimes as much as serious music. I need to be possessed. I need to cry and fall down laughing and then later smash shit up.

I'm waiting for true reality TV to surface. I usually only watch TV when I have exhausted all other possibilities. OK - the news as entertainment, but not for actual information. Please. I'd be more likely to talk about all the shows I waisted my time watching while I was growing up.
"The Giving Tree" by Shel Silversteen, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", "Charlotte's Web" by E.B. White, "The People's History of The United States", "Real Ultimate Power"(The Official Ninja Handbook), "The Fermata", and anything that I am currently reading is usually my favorite book. I love fashion mags and fanzines also. So there.
