music-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4a8Rv0RVSY ... Five Finger Death Punch! I really dig metal music. I grew up listening to it. This band has a lot of lyrics that move me, and that i can relate to.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMBgSfQI49E ... Dave Matthews Band! I started listening to DMB when i was about in 5th grade. I love the up-building beats and creative lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFGmnJQ_BF0 ... Slightly Stoopid! :) This band is very very chill. this is the CD that i pop in to calm down and just be. hehe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPY32WPMoRw ... ben harper! This man just knows how to work it. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAiHve2JZvU ... Regina Spektor! She is a very very witty woman. I don't really dig woman musician that much, but she has very touching lyrics and artistic styles of music.

Dance-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IOBglx2X3I ... ballet! i love pointe ballet! It is challenging and beautiful!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t05SItfEV8U ... hip hop! Now not gonna lie... I am a Ballerina. And until about two years ago i was not able to shake it in front of people. Now its getting better. :) it is really fun and exciting to perform and to watch.

Books-
Night by Elie Wiesel- This book is a true story about a man telling his story about when he was a boy in a Nazi death camp. This was a very powerful and informative book about the life of the Jewish communities in the concentration camps. It made the Nazi camps seem more real and personal, they were no longer something i just learned about in school.

Uriel's Machine by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas- Since I was young I have been very interested in the meaning of life, religion, the end of the world, and the truth behind biblical evens. This book kind of ties evolution with christianity and many other religions. This book really helped me gather some theories on my interests.

The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks- This book is just abnormally funny. I strongly hate zombie movies, pictures, commercials, and anything that has to do or relate to zombies. And this book really gave me a humorous look at my zombie phobia.
