It's the simple things I've grown accustomed to that make me happy. Late nights and junk food at Ayanna's house, dancing away all and any troubles with my friends, plotting to get away as far as possible from home on the weekends, waking up to my dog curled up in the curvature created by my legs in my sleep, spending literally hours on end playing Pokemon Emerald. It's the simple things in life that keep me sane.
Music
I listen to anything and everything. So many beautiful sounds - it'd be ignorant to be close-minded to music. From gangster rap to opera, almost anything is fine by me and my ears.
Movies
Indies and musicals are always the best. Igby Goes Down, Grease, Bright Young Things, The Dreamers, Hairspray, The Sound of Music, Party Monster, Disney Classics, ugh - too many to name.
Television
Family Guy, Futurama, Asian Soap Operas, The Simpsons, The New Adventures of Old Christine, The Price is Right, Rachael Ray, 30 Rock, The Office, any game shows, and ahhh - whatever's on.
Books
I don't read books, I inhale them. Reading is one of my largest passions. I pity those who don't read for pleasure. Those who can't open up their imaginations for literature will never know one of mankind's greatest gifts.
Ella Enchanted, The Harry Potter Series, The Hunger Games Series, The A-List Series, The Hoopster Series, The Secret Story of Sonia Rodriguez, The Great Gatsby, A Child Called It, The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things, I'd Tell You I Love You, But I'd Have to Kill You, Like Water for Chocolate, How to be Popular (A Novel), Size 12 is not Fat, Breathing Underwater, Freak Show, The Boy Next Door, All-American Girl, and the list goes on for years. (:
Heroes
I admire many, but have yet to meet someone greater than my own mother. (:
God, in whatever form he/she may present him/herself.
