Interests
General
Depends on the time of the day, the day of the week, how the planets are aligned.Music
I listen to everything. If I happen to skip a name or genre, then it would give the perception that I don't listen or care for that music(ian).Movies
Major movie buff. I have over 100 DVDs (and no bootleg).Television
Right now I'm bored with TV.Books
My Book List: Open Your Heart Finders Keepers Give Love Anthology (Someone To Love) Making Promises Sweet Surrender (Masterson series) Here And Now (Masterson series) Straight To The Heart (Masterson series) No One But You (Ladies of Distinction series) Gamble On Love (Ladies of Distinction series) Only In Paradise (Ladies of Distinction series) Trail of Kisses Feb '10 (Ladies of Distinction series)Heroes
I admire lots of people: celebrity and the regular folk. But I don't escalate people to hero status. We're too human for that with all our foibles.

Ha, Michelle! It was total trial & error, playing around with the code that was already in there. You should have seen some of the funky stuff I got before it turned out right. :-P
