Also, Pearl Jam, Old Korn, Staind, Disturbed, David Bowie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beatles, Nirvana, Elvis, Radiohead, Richard Ashcroft, Sonic Youth, Rob Zombie, Aerosmith, Guns and Roses,Pino Donaggio, etc. I like some movie soundtracks such as Carrie, Interview with the Vampire, Rosemary's Baby, Labyrinth, Candyman, Phantom of the Paradise, and the Wizard of Oz. I do not own an IPod. I do not even use my discman anymore. I love music, but I certainly do not live by it. I guess I'm more of a TV/Movie person.

Books:
Clive Barker is my favorite author. He is a genius with a dark vision that inspires me. I thoroughly enjoy his Books of Blood (and I LOVE the story In the Hills, the Cities and ofcourse the Midnight Meat Train), the Inhuman Condition, Cabal, and the Great & Secret Show. I have also recently gotten into Margaret Atwood, more specifically, "The Handmaid's Tale" whose film adaptation terrified me when I was 8, and I finally read the book, which terrified me immensely too. I guess books about totalitarian states where sex is controlled SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ME! Who knows, but the book was amazing and I look forward to now reading her other works. I've taken up reading as my new hobby and have expanded my horizons thanks to the Sexy Bookwork Literacy League (shoutout to my book club!! ). Recent reads included the Lovely Bones, the Kite Runner, a Thousand Splendid Suns, No Country for Old Men, The Road, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and some Robin Cook novels. Reading is now my bag, baby!!
Heroes:
First and foremost my Dad, John Valuckas (RIP) who has provided me with a blueprint as to how I want to raise my children, complete with sadistic, yet humourous tendencies and childhood songs about, "The Pocono Mountain Bear" who, he taught, would eat us if we didn't put our seat belts on (And you wonder why I turned out the way I did) No, but seriously, he is my guardian angel, and I believe he is always by my side, and while I miss him more than anything in this world, I know I'll see him again some day, if I play my cards right (which I am trying to do because knowing one day I'll hear him sneeze and say "awhompus" again,like he always did, gets me through each day.) On a less melancholy note, other heroes include my dogs Ichabod, Ginglymus and Elvis for being so damn cute, my boyfriend Brandon for peeing on his own face and living to tell about it, and all my chicas, because they are SCHMACKIN!!
