~ When I was little I always loved reading the Little Critter books. I had every book in the series and would read them over and over. The Little Critter books taught you anything from learning to get along with others and sharing to eating healthy and taking care of yourself. Now a days I still enjoy reading but for the most part only read when I have too. I will admit that I absolutely love the Harry Potter books!!
~At the top of my favorites (other than Harry Potter) the Iliad by Homer is my favorite book. I could not stop reading this book. The Iliad is a story of the Trojan War, mainly Achilles epic story, his pain, his strength, and his close relationship to the gods. Besides the one chapter about the 500 ships and the names of all the people aboard those ships, this book is made for lovers of war stories and mythology.
~I’ll admit I have indeed fallen victim to some of the most addicting video and computer games in the past. For some time I was on a Grand Theft Auto game-a-thon and literally could not leave the room until I beat the next level. Word games on the computer also catch my attention particular catch my attention when I’m extremely bored. Like an 80 year old woman I also thoroughly enjoy playing solitaire on the computer.
~Unlike in my past, now all the news that I obtain comes only from the radio. As I was growing up I could not stand just listening to them talk on the radio. I am not sure if it is due to the fact that in the morning while I drive to class the only thing played is the news or that it just doesn’t bother me anymore. It may just be that I am so tired that I don’t even know what I am listen to, it is like 7 in the morning!
~I think a good writer has a unique sense of describing events and expressing themselves. Their writing is interesting and holds elements other than just being grammatically correct. To me the best writing is never cliché and the story cannot seem like you have heard it before. I prefer a more humorous writing style with an abundance of sarcasm. Descriptive writing is one of my favorite types of writing not only to read but to also write.

hey! love the picture!
The button mashing parts of one of the latest GTA games drove me nuts. *Hated* riding the bike. *Loved* stealing the cars. :)
