Music
Havana: When I'm really happy, I strangely tend to listen to hip-hop and/or techno. When I'm content and laid-back, I'll listen to electronica, opera, classical, instrumental, jazz, what-have-you. Rock covers a wide range of moods so it really depends on the song. If I HAD to name my favorite genres, it would be rock, hip-hop, and techno.
... does anime soundtrack count too? ^_^
Shef:Innovative and highly creative music. (Shit so pretentious, you'd have to question if it's music)
I love classical-style (I guess that would be a general catch-all for orchestrated music) music, weird rock genres like post-rock and electronica, then of course there is techno, trance, and underground hip-hop. I’m also a massive fan of jazz music.
Movies
Havana: I used to be a big film geek but lately, I've been rather unimpressed. I like really revolutional, creative, unique movies that use innovative storytelling, visuals, or dialogue like "The Science of Sleep" or "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," or "V for Vendetta," things in that vein, but I also love stupid comedy movies with Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller or what-have-you. I adore animated movies, Western or anime. I like dramas a lot-- probably my favorite genre ... I like being kept on the edge of my seat. :3 I hate movies where I feel like I justed wasted 2 hours of my life. I don't like action-dense ( to the point where the action bores me ) movies or movies that try too hard to be funny. I hate cliché plotlines and crappy dialogue. I don't really have favorite movies, though ...
Shef: I love zombie movies, that and unnecessarily violent movies ( anything Tarantino). Foreign flicks and indie are also a great, but only in moderation....
Television
Havana: Will and Grace, The L Word ... various cartoons .. hehe.
Shef:I don't really watch tv, but I do like box sets of shows from the old school. The Boondocks, The simpsons, and ATHF.
Josh-kun suggested that we make a joint myspace sooo here we are-- two birds with one stone, right? ^_~ I, Havana, will be the primary maintainer of this thing. Why? Because ... I am ... A MAN. And men do these sorts of manly things.
Shef and I have been together since May 16, 2005. I had developed a bit of a crush ( Okay, okay, more than a crush .. ) on him in my late Junior year, which carried all the way through my Senior year at school. I didn't realize this until I found myself getting giddy on the bus, constantly trying to sit near him, always hanging onto his every word. I'd be shy around him, catching a hint of a blush in my cheeks whenever I bashfully glanced up at him ( I am so short. -.-; ). I attended philosophy club, seldom to debate ( A part of that stems from my social anxiety ... ^^;; ); instead, I would discreetly inch my way torwards him, hoping that maybe he would notice me, that maybe we would at least become close friends. As a lesbian, I was often puzzled by my infatuation. Not only was I gay, but my reputation was built around three traits: my shyness, my artistic abilities, and my painfully strident girl-craziness. Nonetheless, I could not help who I happened to fall in love with and I knew this. Persistent were my convictions that he did not like me and as such, I held my feelings back with an iron harness, promising myself that I would only admire him from afar.
In Senior year, my wish of becoming at least good friends with him came true. I became a lot more extroverted around him and I even admitted my feelings about him to my best friend Josh. If it weren't for Josh, I would have been such a mess that year. ^_^ I constantly found bizzare ways to flirt with him and we began talking more in depth on AIM. In the end, I decided that I would just take a chance and ask him out. It was a possibility that I would never be able to see him again once we went to college and even if it didn't work out, at least I wouldn't regret not asking him out.
We've been together through a LOT over this past year and we're still hanging onto each other's hand. We both share many interests; we're both otaku freaks, we both love looking at artwork, we both love to read, we both love to discuss social issues, we both love to critique movies ... we both loooove girls ... XD The list goes on.
Not to say we don't have our differences. Our personalities definitely contrast but complement each other so perfectly that we fit like a puzzle. Whereas his intellectual pursuits lean torwards the sciences and mathematics, mine lean torwards the arts and social sciences; we feed each other our strengths and we give support to each others' weaknesses. Though we occasionally hit some rough spots, he is still the perfect person for me and I wouldn't trade him for anyone else in the world.
Not even Fergie. And that's saying a lot. Because she is fiiine .... ^_~

I edited my profile at MsPremade.com. check out these Myspace Layouts!
Who I'd like to meet: Havana: Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Keira Knightly, Fergie, Kate Beckinsale, every Hooters girl in existence ... XD I would have liked to meet Leonardo Da Vinci, who found a perfect balance between science and art, Van Gogh, Salvador Dali ( Man, think about dissecting THAT guy's brain ... ), Sigmund Freud ( Him too... ), Walt Disney, the 9 Old Men of Disney animation, Audrey Hepburn, Andy Warhol, and Siddhartha. I would also like to meet John Lasseter, Brad Bird, the Dalai Lama, Noah Levine, J.K. Rowling ( And tell her to finish the hell up! ), Nicole Kidman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
As for meeting people on Myspace, I want to meet people into art, animation, anime ... basically, I like hanging with geeks and nerds. To be more general, I like people with at least some common sense and a sense of humor, be it witty, intellectual humor or stupid Jackass humor. Laughing is good. :) Also, if you're a hot chick, that's good too. XD And I'm always collecting people that I've known in school, met randomly, or whatever so add me too, k? ^_^
