I like to read, play guitar and draw. Trying to teach myself piano/keyboard/organ but not getting very far! Im also (very slowly) learning Japanese. If anyone wants to help me feel free!
I am currently listening to Ani DiFranco, Regina Spektor, Tom McRae, Dresden Dolls, Melissa Auf Der Maur (and her Black Sabbath Tribute band Hand of Doom), Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, David Bowie, Feeder, JJ72, Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Idlewild, Hole, Rammstein, REM, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, The Grim Northern Social, T-Rex, Donovan, Devon Sproule, Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins, Joni Mitchell, Jaymay, Lindsey Buckingham...and more.
Movies
My fave films are Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge. Also love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Cruel Intentions, Clueless, Dogma, Mallrats, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Amelie, Run Lola Run, Empire Records, The Addams Family, XMen trilogy, Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy and Serenity even though it scared the crap out of me! Kamakazi Girls.
Television
I watch way too much TV. My fave shows are Buffy, Angel, Roswell, CSI (the original one in Vegas not the crappy spin offs!), Charmed, Scrubs, Dawson's Creek, O.C, Farscape, Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy, Green Wing, Man Stroke Woman, Scooby Doo, Magic Roundabout :) Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, Bones, Joss Whedon's Firefly, the man is a genius. Torchwood and not just cause captain Jack is HOT! oh and um Top Gear.
Books
