Television
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a television addict. I can’t live without my television and more importantly, I need my DVR to keep the addiction going. With school and work, I can never keep up with the shows I’d like to watch. I can record it and watch it at my own convenience. I love it.
I used to watch a lot more television when I was out of work and waiting for my financial aid for school to get finished, but now I’m back full time so I cut out a lot. I watch a few scripted shows (Law & Order, Glee, Bones, Mad Men) some unscripted (Hell’s Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, People’s Court, Judge Alex, Judge Judy) and a few news shows (Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow Show) but most of my television time is devoted to my Phillies. I used to watch General Hospital but I got tired of feeling violent while watching, so I’ve switched to One Life to Live.
Movies
I love movies. I love to go to the movies and have that experience, though with the rising prices and my constantly lowering income, it’s rough to do that all the time. I spend entire weekends watching my favorite DVDs. I have a lot of favorite movies, but my top choices are The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Hairspray, Rent, Office Space and Super Troopers.

Web Design
I’ve been creating my own pages since I was thirteen. I don’t claim to be fabulous at it, but I suppose I’m passable.

Genealogy
I have a blog devoted to my personal genealogy so I won’t go into a lot of detail but I spend a great deal of my free time organizing and researching. I also run a site for my local historical society as a direct effect of becoming interested in genealogy. It’s a lot of fun.
