I have an grown son who is a big fan of online gaming, especially World of Warcraft and a preteen daughter who loves Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, and most Disney and Nickelodeon shows. We like to read manga, watch anime, play video games, and swim when the Ohio weather cooperates with us. We are currently obsessed with The Hunger Games: books and movie!
