Reading - I enjoy reading novels. My favorite authors are L.J.Smith, Kelley Armstrong, Nicholas Sparks, and Sherrilyn Kenyon. I have enjoyed a few books by jodi picoult. I just bought her latest book -"19 minutes" I'm currently reading the jesus family tomb. I have read books by gena showalter, jude devereaux, lauren k hamilton, christopher pike, and many many more. Not including all the psychology, communication and social work textbooks I've been seen lugging around.

Writing - I write poetry and and working on a short story.

Music - is a huge part of my life. My father is a singer. I wish I was - but I'm not that good. So I get by with listening to just about everything.

animals - i have lots of animal companions. currently 3 cats, 1 dog, 1 - 20 gallon, 1- 10 gallon and 2 - 1 gallon fish tanks. Looking to get a lizard of some kind. Another aquarium for cichlids - aka - fish eaters. Hoping - when we get a house to get a dog of our own. I had to leave my pooch home with my dad when I moved.

hanging with friends - I don't have many friends so I enjoy the time with the ones I have. Most of them have moved around for school and stuff. So we don't see each other too much.

shopping - probably my favorite past time. I do this a lot when I'm bored or whatever. Not that I buy things all the time. I don't have the money. But I just go to see what's new.

shoes - i have a lot of shoes. a girl can never have too many.

sleeping - wish i was sleeping right now.

history - I like learning about ancient egypt, rome, etc. Myths and their relations to gods, goddesses and other creatures are very intriging.

psychology - was my major in my BA. I loved developmental, social, adolescent and sexual psychology. I thought about being a sex therapist for awhile before deciding to pursue social work. May still end up in sexual eduaction.

watching movies - don't watch horror movies but like just about anything else.

culture - I'm a mutt. I have so many national races in my ancestrial history I'm sure I've lost track. I like learning about said cultures and geneaology. I discovered a couple years ago that my father's side of the family has ties to the Dutch Royal family.

astronomy - it's just cool. I don't know a lot about it, but that's because it takes away the magic of the night sky.

sports - i enjoy many kinds such as hockey, baseball, bowling, gymnastics, basketball, football, figure skating, etc.

I also have interests in social work, education, child studies, women's rights, etc.

Too many to list - I enjoy mostly disney movies. I own close to 100 disney movies. I enjoy girlie movies like legally blond, she's the man, miss congeniality and just like heaven. I like some action/adventure movies and basically anything with a good story, great acting and a happy ending. I don't like horror movies. I think they're stupid. Other than that, I'll watch just about anything.

I don't have any idols. I think it's kind of stupid to have idols because realisitically, the person you idolize isn't really all they're thought to be. I prefer to have role models because then it's easier to accept faults in other people rather than thinking the're perfect and god-like.
