Music I listen to

I've always had a penchant for thrashing, speedy, hardcore music. Even now that I'm an old lady. :-) That's how I know Tattood Man ... he was a band member of one of my old-time/all-time favourites, Slaughter (Canada). My kids' friends get a real kick out of my tunes. They even think I'm cool (little do they know what a geek I am), but I'm pretty sure their parents don't share their admiration ... oh, well, sure manages to cut down on the number of sleepovers around this place ... hey, nothing wrong with that, right? :-) Mind you, two of my favourite songs are "At Last" by Etta James and "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. Guess I'm having a psychological break. :-)

I can stomach most kinds of music, except for new country, reggae, and Mariah Carey-ish (I dislike the sound of most female vocalists) type music. I'm afraid I have to draw the line somewhere. My kids share the same taste in music as me, which really is kind of wrong. Hard for them to rebel, musically speaking. They crank it up to be obnoxious ... and Mommy dances faster. :-) Pretty twisted scenario. I definitely love cheesy music from the 80s. I also get a kick out of old jingles for TV commercials and shows from my youth.

I hated country and western as a kid (my mom and dad cranked it out hours and hours each and every day), but now I have a real nostalgic fondness for twangy old bluegrass stuff and people like Hank Williams and Hank Snow. Really energetic Celtic and Cajun music gets my blood a-pumpin', too! Throw the bagpipes in there, as well ... I get bleary-eyed every time I hear them, but I think that might be that sh*tty awkward feeling you get when you feel embarrassed for someone.

Interesting facts about me

More to come in this area, but I'm pressed for time.

Movies I enjoy: To Kill a Mockingbird, Army of Darkness (Evil Dead), 40 Year Old Virgin, Dodgeball, Ace Ventura, Meet the Parents, The Green Mile, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Saw, Silence of the Lambs, Scary Movie 2 (or whichever one has James Woods as the priest), Freaks, It's a Wonderful Life, When A Stranger Calls (original, not remake), Slingblade, An Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore documentary), Deliverance, The Animals Film, The Iron Giant... Anything that can make me laugh hysterically, scare the bejesus out of me (movies about unbalanced individuals are the best, because it could really happen!), disturb me, or make me feel changed/bettered as a person. Not really into blockbusters ... it's usually the independent schtuff that gets my attention. It sickens me to see animals or children hurt in movies, even though it's not for real.

    I'm just glad I'm not a teenager, because I'd be camping somewhere "up north", huddled in a tent shivering from the cold, trying to stay dry and hungover - ah the good old days. image

    Yep, I can remember many a pukey night in a tent or run-down cabin at Sauble and Wasaga Beaches ... faithfully celebrating and serving our Queen in the best way my teenaged ass knew how.

    I didn't do our former Queen proud this holiday weekend ... I did NOT drink copious amounts of beer. I was much more patriotic in my youth.
