Reading, writing, traveling, going to the beach, roadtrips, riding horses, rollerblading in Audubon Park, watching movies...
Rock (mainly the older stuff- Alice Cooper, Guns'n Roses, Metallica), Reggae, Rap, R&B, some Country. I'm pretty open-minded.
Memoirs of a Geisha, Born into Brothels, Casablanca, Nowhere in Africa..
True crime books (anything by Ann Rule), John Grisham, Keith Ablow, Harlan Coben..
My mom- because of the way she handled being diagnosed with terminal cancer.. My dad- because he raised me pretty much on his own since I was 9 years old.
