Hi Mari. My first mix is MP3 Hard Core. Slip Knot, Cradle of Filth, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Disturbed, Rob Zombie (and some White Zombie), Korn. Hundreds more actually. Bless MP3 technology. I got turned on to some wild stuff this fall. My husbands work crew gave us tickets to Gears Of War for our wedding present. 8 bands of completely earblowing hard core. Of course my hubby went for Megadeath, but there was a band called Opeth. OM Heck. So eclectic. Lamb of God blew the roof off. And I have never seen a mosh pit so polite. Not one single fight. And there were so many different gangs in the pit, I was truly suprised. I have never been in a pit that I didn't have to sock somebody.

Any way.

My next one is going to be softer; Depeche Mode, Tori Amos, Bronski Beat, Ella Fitzgerald, Shubert (sp) maybe a little Holtz but he gets kinda intense. More than likely lots of Radio Head.

I have a thing for music. Can you tell?

Music is my outlet. If I am raging, I will find some music that I can crank and let them scream for me. If I am calm, I will turn on some classical or spanish guitar and dance around the house.

I miss dancing. I keep telling myself I should find a studio and just start again. But then life gets in the way and I just dream about it. Every peice of music that I hear gets translated into movement in my head, and I have choriographed hundreds of dances in my head. I was in a modern dance company from the age of 2 until I was 16. I quit for the theatre. I was going to be an actress you see.

Oh, I think the depression is lifting and I am feeling a tad bit more manic. Heh. Maybe that's why I ended up with fibro. I am physically so tired that I can't get into too much trouble in the manic stage. sigh.

Looking for that gift in the midst of the maddness.
