I am a boy. So I like girls. But I also like going to the cinema and eating lovely food. Someday I will live on the Palm Jumeirah or by the sea in Australia. And I will ride a kangaroo to work. Oh yes.
Music
Say Anything, because I <3 Max Bemis.
Oasis, because they are mad for it.
R.E.M., because they are quite brilliant.
Manic Street Preachers, because they rock.
Meat Loaf, because his energy is inspiring.
The Fratellis, because their music makes me happy.
Modest Mouse, because sometimes life's okay.
The Killers, because I'M MIS-TER BRIIIGHT-SIIIDE.
My Chemical Romance, because secretly I cut myself.
Eminem, because he's the real Slim Shady (yes the real Slim Shady).
Movies
I watch a lot of films. A few of my favourites...
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Hot Fuzz, Shaun Of The Dead, Apocalypto, 300, Children of Men, The Weather Man, Bad Santa, Spiderman(s), The Blues Brothers, Die Hard(s), Fight Club, Good Will Hunting, The Hills Have Eyes, Back To The Future(s), Groundhog Day, Night At The Museum, The Fugitive, Saw(1), Pulp Fiction, Wallace and Gromit(s), 8 Mile, Pan's Labyrinth, Austin Powers(1+2), Snatch, Ace Ventura(s), Scream(1), Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Kill Bill(s), The Lion King, Planet Terror, Pirates of the Carribean(1), Sliding Doors.
Television
My TV lives in the cupboard on the landing outside my room, but I own several DVDs such as Spaced, Futurama, Alan Partridge and anything Dave Gorman has ever done.
Books
Derren Brown: Tricks of the Mind.
Terry Pratchett: Mort, The Colour of Magic.
Heroes
Derren Brown. Jim Carrey. Des Sharples. Spiderman.

That's so true. Apart from I never literally gave it my heart. And of course, it didn't literally give it away. But there were consecutive days involved.
