1) I have a very cute son whose name is Jack
2) I have a cat named Weenie.
3) I have had pet rats and I love them!
4) I love dark chocolate and coffee
5) I actually like reading manga, watching anime and playing DDR
6) My top ten movies (in no order) right now are:
1- Swing Girls
2- Kung Fu Hustle

4- Hero
5- Batman (with Michael Keaton)
6- Labyrinth
7- Little Women
8- Duck Soup

*11- Buster Keaton – greatest silent movie actor ever who’s movies were crazy and life was sad
7) My ten favorite books (also in no order) right now are:

As you can see I’m partial to fantasy, but I love reading whatever I can get my hands on.
8) Music is a lot harder. I love all kinds of music:
grunge, hard rock, electronic (especially ambient) classical, folk, bluegrass, new wave… the list goes on and on. I really don’t care for Country music, but if forced to I’ll even listen to that.
If you want to know anymore about me, just stop into the library!
Teen Lounge 
Nirvana’s video of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” looks like a scene from the teen space at the Parma Library–no wonder it’s the only library in Monroe County that follows the philosophy of ANARCHY!
