I need some more hip hop in my music library. Do you have any suggestions?

And no, I don't mean the look your mother gives you when you're in trouble. This is purely out of curiosity in discovering how prevalent it is in modern society.

I personally thought it was a complete turn around from Twilight, which seemed more like a high school play than a movie. I think the new director really did a fantastic job in recreating the book.

I think it's an Americanized version of the Buddha, but I'm not sure. I need to know because it will be the basis of a research project I'm doing. Thanks!

Do you think this is a genetic or societal problem, and why?

Here are some behaviors that worry me:

1. I often find myself tapping my fingers and counting each one repeatedly

2. When I was I kid I used to tap the ends of my hair or certain materials like paper because the sound was calming. I still do occasionally.

3. Sometimes I feel a need to write on a specific spot on paper or circle the cursor over a certain spot on the monitor for no reason.

4. If there are dishes in the sink I cannot focus until they're cleaned or put away. Also, I have rituals before I go to bed and when I wake up, and I have to have everything in my room put away and arranged in a particular way or I can't sleep.

5. Sometimes, if I step on a crack in the sidewalk with one foot, I'll have to do the same with the other. But only when I'm paying attention.

6. I make lists all the time.

As a side note, I think my mother has been diagnosed with OCD but I don't know how severe. I've read that all of these signs could just describe a perfectionist, but I want to make sure it isn't more than that.

1.) I've read that many Wiccans believe in reincarnation for the purpose of self improvement. How can one improve if there is no recollection of the previous life?

2.) What are discarnate guides?

3.) Does it recognize spirits as among us and, if so, can it open darker realms or become dangerous?

4.) Do Wiccans traditionally preach in different locations to convert people of different faiths (missionaries)?

5.) What exactly is the God-ess?

6.) How do you worship these deities?

7.) How does meditation differ from prayer, and what is its role in worship?

8.) What is the purpose of the athame?

I apologize if these questions sound ignorant, I truly seek information and not a debate. I'm not a Christian or of any particular faith, so please don't think I'm being derogatory.
