Irish Spanish Profesors ROCK) I also enjoy the Monkees, Tim McGraw, Coldplay, OAR, classic 70's folkie stuff like Jim Croce, James Taylor (dude he was reallllllllly hot, what happened?), John Denver, and Cat Stevens, and yes i'll admit that i like crappy teen pop music as well, but i aslo enjoy ICP (Insane Clown Posse) so there isn't any pidgeon holing me

not many dyslexics like to read... and i am one of them. But i do have some favorites. the HARRY POTTER books by JK Rowling, ERAGON and ELDEST by Christopher Paolini, PASTWATCH: THE REDEMPTION OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS by Orson Scott Card. I also really like HERO'S CROWN and THE BLUE SWORD by Robin McKinlen, Oh and you can't forget the classic GOODNIGHT MOON, the STREGA NONA series, and WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE (you can find the answer to where they are in my picture section)
