Question What's your passion?

No..this has nothing to do with Mel Gibson ugh...bad joke thing, I know...forgive me, I'm drinking sangria and am still giddy with joy from the doc on VH-1 hahaha..

so I was just wondering...what, other than Fleetwood Mac, are Ledgies passionate about?

My passion used to be music...I loved playing both in bands and by myself...and I miss it tremendously....and realize it's no longer what I'm most passionate about...thought it's still a huge part of my life...

I think my passions are:

Production (like digital stuff...I love working on my news stories and working with sound etc)

Books-I don't feel complete unless I am reading something

writing-whether it be news stories, prose or poetry I just adore writing

So how about you all?

Horses and riding and training them. It is very satisfying when the horse and I are together in harmony.

How ironic for the two horse people to follow eachother

Anyways:
Horses
Drawing, painting, sculpting...(I live for this)
Reading
Poetry writting
Going to the beach
Biotechnology (yup my major)
Star Wars
Music in general (esp classic rock, I am never w/o music)

The same things that I've loved since I was a kid:

Books--Can't get enough of them. I'm literally in the bookstore every single week--sometimes twice a week. I read constantly. I'm also a magazine addict. And a news junkie.

Music-Not a day goes by that I'm not listening to music.

Movies/Television-Can't go without either.

Dogs--I've always loved them, always will. (And btw, I'm a horse lover too, haven't ridden in a while though--not enough time).

Purses--Can't get enough of those either. From collecting vintage evening bags to spending too much money on modern designer pieces, I'm addicted. This is how sick I am: I instantly recognized that Martha Stewart was carrying a Hermes Birkin bag the first day of her trial, and thought it was perfectly reasonable that she showed up to court toting a $5000 plus handbag. If I had that kind of money, I'd have them in every color!

Work-it's my raison d'etre. I'm lucky enough to get paid, and paid well, for what I love to do--it doesn't get much better than that. BTW--I'm a writer/researcher.

Shopping-It doesn't even really matter what I'm shopping for. I'm just as happy in the supermarket as I am in Saks.

My computer and the 'net--how did we ever live without them?

Heart I'd say these 3...

Basketball- I used to be obsessed, it's one of those loves I put down, but always look back on so fondly.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - My GOD don't get me started... this is what made Fleetwood Mac take the back seat and that was hard to do

Writing - Just being artistic in general, but I'm a writer. Journals, songs, fanfiction, whatever... I couldn't survive otherwise.

Well, I don't know if they would be considered "passions" but:

I'm crazy about my son and my husband and I try to do right by both of them...they truly are my legacy.

I love music. All types. Different types. I could listen to music 24-7 and never get tired of it. I have a fondness for singer/songwriters...not manufactured fluff that seems to fill the airwaves lately...come to think of it, I don't EVEN listen to the radio.

Movies.....the older the better.

Hockey...LOVE to watch it....wish I could play it

NYC...I visit when I can...I'd move there in a minute,if I could afford it.

That's about all I could think of for now!

Thumbs up Easy...

#1-Music-I betcha if ya saw my music collection you would pass the f--k out!!! I have a larger collection of music than even most Wal-Marts have...And it just keeps growing every week

#2-Audio electronics-I just spent $500 to upgrade my audio equipment (Just bought a JVC XL-R2010 CD/CDR Multiple Compact Disc Recorder & a JVC MX-GA77 360 watt Compact Component System...These are now wired to my Teac W-600R dual cassette player, my JVC XL-V231 Comapct Disc Player & my ever reliable & ready TDK DA-3826 Digital Audio CD Recorder for 1 large ass & loud music system)

#3-Nascar Diecast-I have collected 1/64th scale diecasts since 1999 but I have scaled back to just collecting Racing Champions produced diecasts. (I have probably close to 500+ diecast cars)

Arrow Passions....

Well...none really. I'm not a passionate person.

I like:

Music - There is nothing in my life as important as music, listening to it and singing it...and playing the guitar. Although, my guitar is dusty and I need to break the puppy out and JAM!!! LOL Music has always been my refuge and makes me the happiest.

Writing - Although, I've pretty much stopped writing, I do love it. I grew up writing poetry and stories. Seems I have this wierd, freakish imagination. LOL

TV - Don't get me started. LOL I grew up with a very steady diet of TV and movies. It's a sickness, really. HAHA!!

(1) I'm very passionate about music of all types. It is just my love! Of course, Fleetwood Mac is number one on that music-love list!

(a) I collect all things Fleetwood Mac! Anything that they have done together or seperate from the 60s through now---music, concert t-shirts, demos/live stuff, autographs, etc. Big Task, but I'm happy with my collection to this point.

(b) I have a huge collection of cds as well from all areas of music, like other people have said on here.

(c) Vinyl/Records: I love vinyl!!!!!!!!!!! It is just the best. I collect them as well.


(2) Audio equipment: I like to have good audio equipment to play my music on. I have a NAD,weighted turntable, NAD receiver, NAD CD player, and B&W tower speakers.

(3) Teaching: It is my job. I think you have to be passionate about it to do it well. I hope I do it well, because I sure care about my students.

(4) Dancing: I have been dancing, since I was five (25 years now)---tap, ballet, and jazz. It is one of my loves. I hope I will be able to do it, in some form, forever. It makes me feel alive.

(5) My latest passion: playing guitar!!!!!! I just love it. I have been playing about a month. I just hope I can learn to play half decent. Right now, I know all the major chords, and I can play "For What It's Worth," by Buffalo Springfield well. It was the easiest song I could find to learn. I'm learning "Gold Dust Woman" right now, because it is the easiest Mac song I could find. It is exciting!

Plain and simple, my child....she's my life, the reason I was put on this earth. I know it sounds corny, but I was meant to be her mother, even though she was not born of me...We knew China was where our child was. She makes me complete...there's nothing I wouldn't do for this little person...

Sorry to go on and on, but the question was asked what we're passionate about!
