Technology. Reading. Video games of the platform variety (because I LIKE frustrating myself to no end). My various bbs and blogs. There are some seriously funny people out here. My job. I really like it. My kids. I really like them. My house (though I'm a LOUSY housekeeper, it's a wonderful challenge to attempt to create order out of chaos every day). Sleep. I never seem to get enough.
My biological parents. But not enough to chase them down. I'm listed in registries. If they ever get interested, they can find me.
My taste is eclectic to say the least. Classic rock, alternative of most varieties, classical, jazz, new age (yes, I own Enya actually like it), punk, trance, techno, R&B, just B...pretty much everything except Gangsta Rap and country. Please visit some of my friends' band pages.
Tell you what. As soon as I find a reliable babysitter and can start GOING, I'll get back to you.Some movies with a powerful impact on my life: Leaving Las Vegas; The Salton Sea; The Lord of the Rings (all of them); If you want to really know how I felt as an adolescent, check out Welcome to the Dollhouse. It's sort of a female version of Napoleon Dynamite.
No time. The TiVo is packed with the last two years of Gilmore Girls, ER, and House. I don't get to watch. My secret vice is true crime shows. When the husband is out on a Saturday night, I watch Cold Case Files, American Justice, any of the Law and Order shows. So sue me.
Hah. As if any of you REALLY want to know. How about by genre and author? If I've listed an author, I've read everything by that person to date.Juvenile: Eric Carle, Dr. Seuss, A.A. Milne, Lemony Snicket...et al. For the record, I own the complete sets of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. Life is good.Sci-Fi, Fantasy: Neal Stephenson, William Gibson, Frank Herbert, Robert Heinlein, Marion Zimmer Bradley, TolkienHorror: Stephen King, Peter Straub, Robert McCammon, Anne Rice (and yes, I've read the non horror erotica stuff as well)Mystery: Andrew Vachss (you HAVE to check this guy out), Martha Grimes, Dana Stabenow, Janet Evanovich, PD James, Kathy Reich, Michael Connelly, Patricia Cornwall....et al. I like the series stuff.Nonfiction: Helter Skelter got me going on the true crime stuff. Still a good read. I have a morbid fascination with the Black Dahlia murder, and read whatever I can about that. Again...ssshhh! This is my secret vice.
