I have manymanymanymanyMANY interests. Some are obsessions, some are passions, some are simply loves, and some are but passing fancies. This is the section where I'm going to discuss some of them. I may very well expand this later, but for now a single page should suffice.

Books - I love books. I love some classic literature, I love some modern literature, and I love a lot of random things inbetween. Just an example of one of my "obsession"s is the Harry Potter series. On July 15th (my birthday) of 2006, I was at Barnes and Noble with a few friends and my little brother at around 10pm for the midnight release of the sixth book. I also went to the midnight releases in for both the fifth movie and the final book, and the midnight releases for the third and fourth movies. I finally broke down for Halloween and started piecing together my Ravenclaw costume for the final movie releases.

Music - I adore music more than almost anything. I love finding musical artists with lyrics and music I can connect with, and I'm always on the lookout for more. Some personal favorites are POE, Heather Nova, Jem, Dar Williams, K's Choice, Stevie Nicks, HEART, Mono, Lamb, Leonard Cohen, and Portishead. I listen to a lot more than that, obviousl, but that's a small sample of people who have written songs that could easily fit into the soundtrack of my life. I also sang for a good majority of my life and only recently fell out of practice. I miss voice training terribly, and as much as I would love to break into opera, I'm really not serious enough about it to become reinvolved.

Dance - I took ballet and various other forms of dance for nine years when I was younger. I miss it terribly and consider getting back into it often. I also dabbled in belly dance, and have considered the possibility of learning ballroom dance. Once I am able to settle down somewhere I'd love to start dancing again.
