I spend most of my time smiling, making a fool of myself, going to comedy shows (these three activities usually coincide), playing music, listening to music, listening to music and mentally tearing it apart until I can play it, being a nerd, being a music nerd, horse riding, putting ridiculous costumes on my horse and taking pictures of him, laughing.
Tim Minchin, Tripod, the Chaser, and Frank Woodley always manage to make me laugh.
Kind of Pluto rocked my crazy little mind.
And I am part of the minority that loves black jelly beans.
I draw and make stuff, too, and sometimes put it on deviantART
I love it. LOVE IT. Previously, this little section of my general info table was way too long. So here's a shortened version.

Honestly, pretty much any music is good, as long as the sounds fit.
I like playing music, too.
Movies
The Lord of the Rings, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, Vincent (Tim Burton's a genius), Pirates of the Caribbean, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Shaun of the Dead, The Phantom of the Opera, Black Beauty, Spirit. And
"Two Fists, One Heart", I daresay.
Since there's no spot for plays, I'll just metion here that I saw the Bell Shakespeare production of Hamlet in 2008 and absolutely loved it.
Television
Doctor Who, Scrubs, Good News Week, The Gruen Transfer, The Chaser's War On Everything, The Sideshow, Thank God You're Here, Spicks and Specks, Rove, The Mighty Boosh, the IT Crowd.
Books
Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Tamora Pierce Books, The Phantom of the Opera, The Last Book in the Universe, Artemis Fowl. Fantasy novels are good.
Need to read more and get smarterer.
Heroes
Tim Minchin, Bear (Skytell), Project Hope Horse Welfare, Steven Gates, Scott Edgar, Simon Hall, the Doctor, Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Peter Jackson.
And all of my friends who have kept me afloat whenever I've needed them.
I ride horses, play music, watch comedy, learn about philosophy and as a result, think too much, and like nice people.
In case you haven't noticed already, Tim Minchin's my favourite, and apparently I'm his - though, I think he was just being characteristically nice, cos everyone loves him, and I'm sure he loves everyone. Well, people who deserve loving, which in my world is most people. Sometimes he even reads people's profiles. (Hi Tim.)
I've recently noticed that I use emoticons/smilies and the words "awesome" and "lovely" a lot. I'm sorry, but I really enjoy life, and do know a lot of awesome lovely people who can always make me smile.
Some people get so annoyed how I’m so happy all the time
But I can have a dark side too.
I always take my canvas bags to the supermarket.
I am conservative, yet a bit iconoclastic.
I can be loud and bombastic,
But I’m mostly quiet, virtually monastic.
I’m usually sober, but sometimes a bitspastic.
I am almost completely inelastic.
I have a tendency to be sarcastic.
I float like a cannonball.
At least I’m in love with the things I destroy.
Until they start listening, I’ll keep making noise.
I want to know when I come to the end that I made something beautiful.
Never have I seen a Rosie with rosier cheeks than the rosie Rosie whose full name is Rosemary.
Scod: We all have an evil side. Everyone has a bit of a hot dog man in them.
Yon: Gatesy had a hot dog man in him once.
Gatesy: Oy!
*walks from bar to edge of stage, then lies down on edge*
He wasn't a hot dog man.
He was a pastry chef... and I loved him.
Scod: Why did you love him?
Gatesy: Because he kneaded me.

"The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth."

Some of it is a little hard to get into but once you do... voila! :D Alsooo - what are you doing on Friday afternoon-evening ish?
