| General | Myriad and varied. If I put them all out here, then there's no mystery left. And what on earth would we talk about? But I suppose you need to know *something, so here--
A Few Things I Like:
Gardening, reading, watching TV, messing about on my computer, comics, Stephen King, drinking beer, geeks, playing my DS, running long distance, cooking, and playing with dogs.
A Few Things I Hate:
Bad grammar and spelling, frat boy mentality, cyberfucking, whiskey, being forced to see your friend's shitty band, snobs, hairless men, hippies, and self-righteous vegetarians.
A Few Things I Do Well:
Sing, write, run, dance, and wiggle.
A Few Things I Do Poorly:
Solve math problems quickly, understand physics, stay quiet, sit still, tolerate idiocy. | | Music | Music I Adore:
Nine Inch Nails, Led Zeppelin, Stellastarr*, Flogging Molly, Franz Ferdinand, The Beatles, Pixies, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, U2, The Rolling Stones, Blondie, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Misfits, She Wants Revenge, White Stripes, BlackEyed Peas, Boiled In Lead, The Epoxies, NOFX, Arctic Monkeys, Hard-Fi, some Oi, a lot of postpunk, a couple of Eminem songs, a little bit of hiphop, and a huge list of one-offs that I lovelovelove. Fact about me: I only listen to music when I'm in the car or running. If I'm at home, just relaxing, it's TV or internet or both for me.
If it's rock and roll and I can sing along, I'll usually like it. | | Movies | In no particular order...and ever-increasing as I think of more to list...
