    Amjed Qamar's Interests
General
The thing that gets me most pumped is talking about books and writing. My family could probably tell you that. I'm sure they are all happy I'm on MySpace so I can give them a break.

Seriously, I love reading a good book, I love the process of writing (although sometimes the rewriting can be draining,which is 99.9% of it), and I love bookstores.

My other interests include: special education, teaching others, eating, working out, cooking Indian and Pakistani food, travelling, drawing, quotes, summer, history, YA books, thrillers, and suspense novels. Did I mention good food?
MusicWell, I like all kinds of music. I like jazz, I like Pink, I like Blue October, and I like Opera.
Who knew?
MoviesI like suspense movies that keep me on the edge of my seat with their writig, not their gore.
I also like chick flicks, and epic period movies like "The Other Boleyn Girl", "Elizabeth."
Of course, Kid movies are up there, like "The Chipmunks" because I have to keep my family happy!
TelevisionI don't watch much TV except Oprah when it's not a rerun. That is not a plug, it's just reality. She started out on tv when I was a just becoming a teen and when you are home alone, you can either stay home and watch tv (no cable, guys), or go out and get it trouble. I chose to stay home and watch her. Trust me, it was worth it.
More recently, I was totally into "Lost," but after a while it got frustrating becuase they keep repeating the same scenes in new episodes! I think I need to just get the DVDs.
BooksWell, I think I have to Beneath My Mother's Feet.
With that said, this list will be lengthy so give me a moment to get it right.
