we're providing the same musical exposure to our kid as well.

his main criteria for music is being able to make out the lyrics.
if he can sing along - he likes it - no matter what the style.

Yeah, my parents had a very "liberal" approach to what kinds of music I listened to. Nothing was "banned" from being listened to. If there was anything that contianed profanity that I got (for example buying a cd that contains "explicit lyrics" as long as it was in my own privacy it was allowed. But I try to broaden my tastes as much as I can. From country to pop, r&b to gospel, etc. I realized at a young age, we are all different people that like different things; so I tried to teach myself early how to be able to "adapt and adjust" with different styles and different people. I'm all about trying to be as versatile of a person as I can get.

apparently so ..

being a young black woman already sets you way outside the average demographic for horror movie fans- which i believe is still young white males between their mid teens to mid 20s.

on which case i'm way the hell outside of that demographic as well :)

Well, it is nice to know I'm not alone in this one. :)

well, there are a few other girls on HDC - but they're mainly here for the studly men that frequent the forum :D

Well, there's nothing completely wrong with that...:rolleyes: Many people find "love" on forums. :)

In the words of Forest Gump's mother:

"Life (forums, in this case) is like a box of Chocolates: You never know what you're gonna' get."

Welcome:)I'm a lil late,i missed this thread!

Thanks for the warm welcome...believe me I will try my best not to vanish.

Wow, Cougar! I somehow missed this thread when I came here. I didn't know you were only 17. My son just turned 20 and he, too, is a very good writer. I'm embarrassed that I assumed you were a man. :o I think I saw a picture in one of your posts which was of a man. Sorry.

Um....was that the one you see now...with Obama holding Chucky? Oh yeah and on the age then, I get that a lot. Most people assume I'm much older than what I am...when they have conservations with me...unless I'm with my own age group, of course. I didn't know you had a son...especially one that's 20...which means you're older than I assumed. I thought you were in the late twenties to early thirties...perhaps I missed that in your thread. No need for the apologies...it's human nature. We all make mistakes. And you can call me Shannon. I created the UN of Leprucky Cougar to blend my favorite horrors: Leprachaun with Chucky=Leprucky; and Cougar came from Freddy Kruger. I thought it was Freddy Cougar that's what it sounds like to me when I hear people say it. But after I already registered as "cougar" and when Dante'sInferno told me it was really "Kruger" I felt like an idiot. I thought cougar sounded cooler anyway. But life goes on...
