I'm currently hooked on Big Brother 6 and Law & Order SVU. I also love Grey's Anatomy, ER, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, How Do I Look?, and a ton of other shows. I find that I don't watch nearly as much TV in the summer as I do in the winter. I dislike reruns, unless they're episodes that I've never seen before.
I love books. Reading is one of my passions. I love books that I can immerse my self in. Books take me to places I've never been and they introduce me to people and cultures that I may never have known. Some of my favourite authors include Nora Roberts, Maeve Binchy, Johanna Lindsey, Anne Bishop, Louisa May Alcott, Amanda Quick, Bram Stoker, Mary Higgins Clark, Jennifer Weiner and many others. I love Historical Romance, Sciene Fiction, Suspense, Mystery, or anything that catches and holds my interest.
Though my Mom may not realize, or may even dispute it, she is one of my biggest heroes. She has done so much for me, especially when I didn't ask. Sure, she's not the perfect mother, but then again, I'm not the perfect daughter. She keeps the TV way too loud and gets frustrated with me easily. I don't clean enough for her tastes and I get frustrated with her easily. Still, that being said, I owe a lot of things to my Mother. She is always there when I need her. My other hero is my bestest friend in the whole wide world. She knows who she is. No one can make me laugh and cheer me up quicker than she can. She's full of quirky goodness and there is no one like her. Even when she's having a bad day, she brings sunshine to mine by being the great person that she is. Yes, I said GrEaT! I'm very glad that we re-connected.
