Hiking, amateur photography(mostly wildlife/nature), video games, amusement parks, watching English football and reading. An unabashed Anglophile. Also animation and uh, if the general theme isn't picked up on, horror. I wholeheartedly love classic dark rides.
Music
Classic Rock, reggae, classic alternative, dance. Some favorites: Aerosmith, the Stones, Madonna, Marley, and Hendrix. Right now I'm listening more to Podcasts, most with a comedy or sci-fi bent: Vera Speaks,Chris Moyles, Scott Mills, DWO Whocast, Jon Richardson, Lucky Bitch Radio with Wanda Wisdom and the Adam & Joe show. Also love the 'cast from Bears in the City.

Television
Currently watch DOCTOR WHO, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, Little Britain, Lost, Reaper, Chuck, That Mitchell & Webb Look, Bones, Pushing Daisies, The Graham Norton Show, Primeval, True Blood, Skins, and Gavin & Stacy. Favorite guilty pleasure? Spongebob Squarepants.
Books
Probably more sci-fi than anything else. Some of my more well read authors include Anne Rice (back in the day), Dan Simmons, Charles Sheffield, Isaac Asimov, Jack Chalker, Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston and last, but certainly not least, JRR Tolkien and JK Rowling.
