Wow, thats a tough one. If I could meet someone I guess I would like to meet Oprah Winfrey. She empowers so many people everyday I just would like to meet her..

Music:

...People always laugh at how I can think of a song for everything... but ... I dont have the worlds best voice... sometimes I can hit the note.. and then there are moments where I am way way off... but.. I dont care.. because ... lifes too short to worry about those things and singing is fun... so I sing.. my favorite singer is celine dion... but.. I also ... like country soft rock... some alternitive... and oldies... theo nly music that I really dont care for is rap... there are a couple songs that I like but not that many...If I can sing to it... I pretty much like it... but I have to be able to understand the words...

Scary movies .. .arent my thing... Ill watch them.. but the dont scare me...I like a thriller... or a suspence.. and I always love a good old romantic comedy ( the classic chick flick).... ...

Well watching Tv on a regular schedule thats not me... I flip it on when I have time or just feel like laying down and having what I call a bum day where I stay in my pjs all day long and watch tv.... my all time favorite show since I was little was little house on the prairie... I love that show people always laugh at me for it but hey... I dont force anyone else to watch it with me... But I love micheal landon and melissa gilbert as pa and Laura... otherwise I just watch movies

Books:

I like a book that can make you laugh, cry, and feel the love of all the characters. I can't say that I have one favorite author. I just like a good book when I read one. Nicolas Sparks, Danielle Steel, Jennifer Cruise... are just a few that I have read just about everyone of their books..right now I am working on the novel called The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson I also currently reading The Fountainhead.

Heroes:

I would say heroes for me all people in my life that have helped me grow into who I am today...... I wont mention names.... but... I know in my heart who they are and they know who they are by how I have expressed my appreciation for their continually support....
